The Challenge Goes On! Deadline 02.06.2027!

Well, it has been a hot minute since I posted on my blog. And the years go by and the challenge keeps going. But something I have noticed is that, as it can be with any goals or even plans, you need to make new goals and adjust the current ones. Some have to go and some morph into something new!

Life has brought about many, many changes for me that I could have not forseen or planned for. One change has been that I became a grandmother in January of this year! It is my first grandchild and I have a lot of joy and pride around this event in my life. For a while I thought that I would probably not be a grandmother, but when she annouced that she was pregnant, I was so happy and anxious to meet the new life coming into our family. The beautiful baby boy arrived and my heart is full of joy! It is a journey in itself to watch him grow!

There have been many changes on my journey to completing 55 things before I turn 55 years old and I have 3.5 years left to complete them. Many of my goals have changed and many I have had to drop. It has been an exciting journey at times and at times I have felt like I wanted to give up. I have kept going at times barely moving on to complete my goals. I have now decided that in the next 4 months, it is time to review what I have completed, what I still need to complete, analyze what else needs dropping and to plan the rest of the 3.5 years so that I can continue moving forward with the end in sight.

I welcome you to start to follow me on the rest of my journey to completion by 2.6.2027! I know some of you were with me from the beginning and I welcome you back to continue to read about my journey. In these 4 months that are left in 2024, I will be planning, reviewing and sharing with you. And I will be sharing all of it with you, the planning, the research, my findings, things I have found handy, places that are a must see.

In my next post, I will be reviewing what my initial goals were, what I completed and what I had to drop and why. I will then post my current goals.

In following posts, I start going over my research to plan my next goals and sharing any sites that I found to do my research and findings.

And in between, I will be posting any of my goals that I have completed after the intial posts, complete with pictures, hopefully as it happens.

The countdown to 2.6.2027 starts now! 1,237 days left in the journey!!! #55by55 #digitalnomad #2.6.2027

Changing a Goal -Going from 50 by 50 to 55 by 55

The past few years have been tough for me personally, but this last year has been tough for everyone. Life as we knew it halted overnight and all our plans were put on hold and even cancelled. Everything we knew looks quite different and this has me thinking and re-evaluating my future. 

A few years ago, I decided to do a challenge of doing 50 things before I turn 50 years old.  When I made that challenge, I was already down at least a year, but I decided I would go for this goal.  But since then, I have had financial setbacks and with COVID coming in 2020 and our limitations lasting until who knows when, I have decided to re-evaluate my goal and the things that I have set out to do.  Some of them are not feasible right now and some of them I can still keep, but I have decided I will redefine my goal and go over which items I will keep and which I will put aside for now.  I will probably revisit my goal once the COVID restrictions are lifted. I am now shooting for 55 items before I turn 55. 

So, over the next few weeks, I will be reviewing and make a new list of things I would like to do.  As I did before I will document and share what items I have chosen for the goal and what progress I have made with these items. 

So come and follow my journey with this goal, 55 things I want to do before I turn 55 and there will be a chance for you to join me on some of my items. I will be updating with planning sessions and goal progress and even giving details and pictures of the finished items.

Have you ever set a similar goal?
