It has been 10 days since my last post (4 Things I learned during my 31 day writing challenge). That almost sounds like a confession. I guess it is. I confess I have not been focused since the 31 day challenge ended.

Today I realized that I did not include the most important thing that I learned during the challenge. Or maybe, I just figured it out and therefore didn’t include it because I didn’t know yet.

During the 31 day challenge, I wrote everyday. I committed to the writing and even though I was the only one holding myself accountable, I was able to accomplish the feat even when life threw curve balls at me and my family.

Having not written or posted for the last 10 days made me realize that a tangible, defined goal is what I need. Call it motivation. Call it accountability, or simply call it a goal.

So today I set a new goal. And I hope that you will hold me accountable.

I will continue to tell my story (I don’t want to say finish, since I am still here and kicking) and get you caught up to the current state of my health by the end of January (hopefully sooner, but with doctor’s appointments and the holidays, I am giving myself some grace).  I will post a new part of the story each week. Along with my story, I will introduce you to my husband and include his story, making the whole thing now Our Story.

If you just joined me on the 31 day challenge, welcome to My Story, Our Story.

Is there something that you want to do but haven’t set a goal? What is holding you back?
