will and i have adopted a new motto.
"win the day"
(we borrowed it from his favorite college football team, the oregon ducks.)
we have so many long-term/bigger goals: get our degrees, raise a family, travel the world, etc.
sometimes focusing on accomplishing these makes me feel like i'm hardly making any progress at all.
the key is making smaller, daily goals that build up to the big ones.
that's where we can feel the biggest improvement happening. and not go crazy.
some of my daily goals lately have been to stay ahead on my homework and cook a meal that day.
these may seem minor and silly, but hey i get them done each day.
we're building stepping stones to great things and i can't wait to see where we're at in 5 years!

That is such a great idea! It feels like I'm not doing anything at all, because I focus mostly on long-term goals. I am definitely going to try "winning the day"!
