I have made progress in both of my first two goals in the last 3 days and I am ready to add a very important fourth goal.
Since August 7 2023 I have advanced 14 hours toward my live hours for VT Horticulture (Goal #2) We received heavy rain fall this week. This was beneficial for plant life and that includes weeds. I have spent the majority of this week’s live hours pulling weeds. I take pride in helping keep the compound looking spiffy. A beautiful landscape is an uplifting visual for everyone. I set aside time to work in my assigned glass greenhouse and attend to my 100-point project, all indoor hallway plants. This consists of watering and cleaning plant surfaces (and deadheading when necessary) I have also completed all homework for module Plant Biology. This includes textbooks Ornamental Horticulture and The Commercial Greenhouse. Next week I plan on completing the module with Exam 2 and moving on to my third module. I have accumulated 367 hours toward my 600-hour apprenticeship.
I have advanced in Get Out of Your Head by Jennie Allen. I am anticipating finishing the book and book report by the end of August. (Goal #1) I am using the idea of taking my thoughts captive to change and redirect my thinking patterns. This book has proved very useful in my recovery and I am grateful for finding and choosing it.
Last, but not least, I am excited to embark on a very important fourth goal. I have been feeling insecure about my weight. I must do something about this, not only to be healthy but to also improve my self-image. I have decided to take up exercise. I am currently committing to step class 3 times a week. (Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday) I have already attended Saturday and Tuesday, and I plan to keep at it. I was unsure of commitment because I did not want to start something I did not intend to finish, so I am stating it here as a challenge to myself. I intend to be successful.
That’s all I got for now, hoping to keep my head up and my spirits as well.
