Ed - You are so right! Everything on the list must be attainable or on the list because you need to call someone to hire. A few years ago, I took my list of Goals to my PCP. The #1 item was “Get Off Disability and Get Back to Work”. I obviously wanted my income restored to employment level but the general gist was I wanted to be healthy enough and also wanted to contribute to society. My PCP stopped me on #1, squelched it right there, and instead helped me break it down into bite-size, realistic, attainable items. It is a big mental boost to see how what things we can and are achieving!

Debbie, that's a great topic in itself: What's your No. 1 Goal? It's too easy to say To get better, To feel well, or To get up and about and not spend the day feeling sorry for yourself. Your post got me thinking: What's MY No. Goal for today? I've decided it's To be cheerful. I began the day grumpy. I didn't like being grumpy, Who can change that? Only me. So that's my No. 1 Goal for today: To live wholeheartedly. Not only will the people around me be better off for it; I'll be better off for it, too. 🙂 –Ray
