“People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily.”
– Zig Ziglar

Technically today is the first day of summer but I have been cold all day. No sunshine here just an overcast sky. It is a little like how I am feeling though. I am not feeling very happy today. Everything during May felt as though I was fighting against the tide. I am working so hard but making no progress and it feels very disheartening. It is not just in one area of my life but all areas, and a lot of it is due to other peoples incompetence. I am trying very hard to not let it get me down, but today I feel like giving up. Hopefully, this feeling won’t last and I will pull myself out of it. I need to gain some motivation.

Goals for 2023
Below are a five goals I have for this blog for 2023.
- To post at least twice a week on Lulu-By-Place – Slipped a bit during May but we will get there.
- Keep track of my fitness and (hopefully) weight loss in a monthly post – Posted for May, will post for June.
- Post my 50 Things before 50 List – List is posted just need to look at completing some items from the list.
- Do something interesting at least once a month – full disclosure, this will be of interest to me, so my interesting thing might not be that interesting for you – During May we had a day out in Coventry and I helped my daughter decorate her bedroom.
- Social Media Goal – To post at least once a week on Instagram (I keep forgetting) – During JUNE I am going to remember to take some photos and post on Instagram (I forgot during May)
Hope you all have a good June and I look forward to seeing you all more during the month ahead.
