January 2024 Blog Topic: What is a big goal or dream you are chasing?

“To chase dreams, be brave like a knight. Put on your courage armor, charge into the battle with strong determination, and watch your dreams unfold.” ~Anonymous.
Personally, I do not like the term “chasing my dreams”. I feel like it is something I may never catch up to. So, I would rather say that I am taking steps each day intentionally to make my dreams a reality. I think there is power in our thoughts and our words, and we should use them carefully.
This year, 2024, I have big goals and dreams. As we start the year off there is a lot of chaos going on with some home renovations, however, the payoff will be great. We are planning to downsize and be able to travel more. Being free of a huge house and property will free up our time to allow us to travel, make memories, and experience more. This may not seem like a big goal to some, but to us, this is a big darn deal. Time is the only thing we cannot get back and how we choose to spend our time is important to us.
Where do we want to travel, well the list is long. The journey will begin in 2024 and continue. We would like to visit as many state and national monuments as possible. Finding fun and unique hiking trails is definitely on my agenda. Spending some time in both Canada and Mexico is on the agenda as well. Taking a train ride across the country, finding unique destinations, and going on a cruise are just some of the things we would like to do.
So, we are taking the necessary steps to make our dreams and goals a reality. Embracing every step of the journey, celebrating milestones along the way, and making memories as we make it all happen.
