Hi everybody. Sandy Boucher here and welcome back to my world. In case you haven't noticed, I'm a little excited. And that's simply because the creator reminded me of one very simple lesson this morning. I often speak about accomplishments and things that I've achieved and how by setting a goal and achieving that goal, the sense of happiness and contentment and fulfillment that you can feel is worth the effort and the challenges it took to get you to that goal. And I spend a lot of time encouraging you to take that first step and to work towards your goal. Well, this morning I was reminded of a very simple lesson that I had forgot. And that's simply the joy and the accomplishment that can come from simply making a decision I have. In case. If you look back at a few of my older videos, a few of my older videos, you'll see on the wall behind me a whole bunch of post it notes. And that's my bucket list, for lack of a better way of putting it. Long term goals that I know I'm going to achieve at some point in my life and I set my sights on one of them and I work till I achieve it and then I set off to achieve the other. Sometimes if I'm really, really lucky, I can achieve two or three at once. Well, there's one and I'm not going to tell you what it is, but there's one that's been on that wall for a long time. And I knew it was something that I was going to eventually do, just hadn't worked out when. And this morning, as I was contemplating my next year and things that I wanted to accomplish in the short and long term, I realized now was the time and I made the decision to go for it. Well, that was about 45 minutes ago and I'm still thrilled. I'm flying high the way the creator intended on life, love and the amazing people in my world. I've made the decision. I know I'm going to do this. I'm going to honor one of my goals and I am thrilled. So today, my friend, make that list. Decide what your goals are and then make the decision to go for one. Then you can be as happy as I am right now. That would make me even happier. Have an amazing day. Talk to you soon. Be well. Bye bye.
