Goals and Dreams

Over the past few weeks I have been thinking very deeply about my soul purpose and what impact will/do I have on my family, friends, and community.   To be honest this is something I think about often, but more so in the past weeks.  Lately, news of cancer, death and tragedy have made it way into my world; impacting communities and people that I have come to know over the past several year and some that I just hear in passing.  Every time I hear one of these stories it makes me question:  Am I doing what I love?  Am I making an impact?  How am I spending my precious valuable time?  If I claim to know my priorities, is it apparent the way I am living today?  
Wow!!  Even as I wrote that last question, I shuddered because I know my answer is No and I need to make that a YES (one certainty and without hesistation)!
 I have a lot of work to do and if I ever plan on getting there (to my dreams) I have to start DOING!!  If we keep putting off our dreams for whatever reason pretty soon years will pass and we will never get that time back.
One cool thing we implemented in our family is weekly goals.  This is a relatively easy thing to start to do and makes goal setting easier, while being so effective.  Each Sunday we write in what our goals are for the upcoming week and report on the previous week's achievement.  So far for the few weeks we have completed this, we found it effective and fun.  It doesn't have to be anything Earth Shattering, but anything that will bring you one week closer to your goals and dreams!!!  
I know this was kind of a heavy post, but one that has been eating at me!
To close on a lighter note check out the sleeping twins.  This was on the way home from Nebraska a few weeks ago.
