I Have A Goal Today

United States
December 11, 2015 9:38am CST
This discussion article will be my 99th discussion. That's difficult for me to believe, since I have not been here on MyLot for very long. I joined with a couple tentative attempts to learn the site sometime in November. Then, I abandoned the idea for a few days, not understanding how things worked. Finally, I came back and began to figure it out around the 22nd of November and progressed along until now. That was about 20 days ago. So, my next discussion post will be #100 . Amazing! I actually had written over 2000 articles on the B site, which is gone forever, I suppose. So now I'm starting from scratch and hoping that this will be a good fit for me. So my goal today is to reach the #100 mark. Ninety-nine down and one to go. More than I thought I had written. My posts here have been less wordy, but I'm hoping to write some longer discussions at some point. Right now, I'm just getting my feet wet, so to speak. I've made some new friends and I've FOUND some of my friends from the B site, so things are moving along at a good pace. So far, so good. I will be back later today. I have to run some errands and start packing for my trip to North Carolina in a few days.

I just feel the 100 is a sort of milestone and then as I continue to write on this site, I hope to reach other milestones. I have lots of time to write now that I'm retired and all my children are grown. However, I do take care of my great grandson from time to time. He was here all day Wednesday and Thursday, but today I had to run a lot of errands. It was a beautiful day to do it. Nice and warm outside for December.

@IreneVincent You are lucky, your children has grown and you are retired, so that you have much time for make many posts. I can't do it now, my children need my attention much, though I am a full time mom...

@srisahara Yes, children need a lot of attention and a lot of love. Spending time with your children and teaching them about life is the MOST IMPORTANT thing you can do. Teach them to be kind to others and they will do well in this world.

It's 11:22 so if I want to reach my goal of 100 articles today, I need to get busy and write something quick. On the B site, I wrote a nice article about Kenya. Too bad it's gone now, but I still have the notes I made on it so I will see if I can find them and write another article.

There are so many things about which I want to write. So very slowly but surely I hope to become a regular contributor to this site.

I think I will continue to write "short" articles for the most part but I want to write some longer ones also.
