The art of getting off my ass

I have, I think, an innate desire for adventure like few other people I know do. I daydream all the time about where I want to visit, move, explore, and who I want to be. But along with this desire for adventure comes a slight aversion to responsibility.

I'm truly attempting to become a responsible adult. This means that in the past month or so I have tackled quite a few issues that I've been ignoring, and doing quite a few things that I didn't want to do.

1. I'm consolidating my credit card debt and probably cutting up my credit cards. In general I'm making a lot of financial changes, and possibly looking at even getting a roommate to save some money.
2. I'm making several doctors appointments to take care of various health issues. This has never been an easy thing for me, since when it comes down to it I rarely ever hear what I want to hear when I go to the doctor. But taking care of my health has to be a priority for me, and it hasn't been in the past.
3. I'm forcing myself to learn to cook, which has gone pleasantly well. I'm actually enjoying myself a bit-- and that's been a surprise.
4. I got a sponsor in Al-anon who is helping me to face some issues I have with control, codependency, asking for help, self care, ect. She has been a great help to me.

I feel good about the changes I've made in my life thus far, but I still feel overwhelmed at how far I have left to go. I still have a lot of things left to tackle...

1. Finding a church. I have Sundays off now, but it's just a struggle to get out of bed to go. It's going to happen though, I believe that.
2. Making a plan to lose weight (which ties in with #2 above). I'm too young to have the health complications that my weight is causing me, and I need to take some action.
3. Finishing school... what a weight this will be off my shoulders.
4. Beginning my CAADAC certification, which is the next step in my career.

So if you could keep me in your prayers, I have a lot on my plate. And it's just plain time to get off my ass and get some things done.
