What I'm not figuring out so far

Apparently the first three days of October, and of this whole figuring-it-out-goal proved too much for me. I did attempt to log in to the official 31 days site and link up, but I kept running into road blocks.  I threw in the towel on Wednesday night. But I'm here, and I can still try to write more consistently, with a goal towards figuring it ALL out, even without linking up.

Maybe my first step to figuring it out is acknowledging that I am not really a natural follow-up kind of girl. I am fantastic at looking at a big picture and striking out confidently. But typically when it gets down to needing to take some smaller active steps I fall behind. (See for example: days two and three of this challenge). I need to get better at breaking big projects down into smaller steps, at not just envisioning where I want to be, but identifying how precisely I am to get there.

31 Days of Figuring It Out

I haven't been here in years- almost three whole years. And I don't really know how to jump back in again other than just doing it.  So I'm here. And I going to try and keep up with the Nester's 31 Days Project http://www.thenester.com/2013/09/welcome-to-31-days-2013.html. What am I going to be writing about for 31 days? Here's the thing- I'm not entirely sure.

Life is good here. The girls are amazing. Jeff is awesome. We still have two dogs (one different than the last time I wrote). But now we have two frogs (!), and we have new jobs, or promotions from our old jobs, and we have more time, but also somehow less time and independent kids who can get their own breakfast (sometimes) but who are facing much different challenges than I expected three years ago.

Life is different -much different than it was the last time I checked in here. My goal for the next 31 days is to try to write out some of the confusion and the misdirection, and get to a place where I feel like I'm on a path again. 31 days of figuring it out.
