Piano

I realized it has been  long time since I have been on here. I think about posting quite a bit but then I usually say I will do it tomorrow. Anyways somethings that have happened since the last time I posted anything. 

I went to Missouri and visited my brother, sister-in-law and there four kids, Iloved every second of it and although we didn't do much as far as going out it was exactly the time that I needed. Also I have been released from my calling as the Relief Society President in my ward and since then I have gained three. Right now I am a ward missionary, the ward fellowshipping specialist, and the choir pianist. 

If you have not heard of a ward fellowshipping specialist that is because the bishopric came up with the calling. I don't know how to explain it perfectly but if I figure out how to say it I will post it in another post.

Part of my post today is just to hold me responsible for a few goals that I want to share, I know it is a little early to make new years resolutions but they are a couple goals I want to accomplish before 2015. I have this piano book called The Library of Piano Classics. I have had it for a number of years and my goal is to be able to play each piece in the book there are 90 songs and since I am starting now that means I need to average about 2 songs a week. At this point I do have two songs down and they are "Four Pieces From The Little Notebook" by Bach, and "Fur Elise" by Beethoven. I have played other songs but only in passing I haven't been worked on any other songs then these two. Also I will need to play each piece for someone. This will be a challenge I only consider myself an average piano player but I want to become better and I know that this will help me do that. Of course being the ward choir pianist will help me as well. I am looking forward to completing this goal.

Another goal that I have is to change all my home cleaning supplies to homemade non-toxic cleaners. Realizing how much these cleaning supplies can effect your system and others really made me want to switch over. I realize that this won't necessarily mean that everything I do will be toxic free but at least I will have made a vast improvement.

And lastly is a two part goal. I started this year as a size 16 right now I am a size 14 and by the end of this year I should be a size 12. My ideal size is a size 8 but just to prove that I can by the end of next year I want to have reached a size 6 and maintain that size for a month before going back to a size 8. To accomplish this my main form of cardio exercise is Zumba so I also want to be a Zumba instructor and have at least 4 classes to teach each week. 

These are all things that are going to really stretch me to improve myself but they all mean something specially to me, which is why I made them into goals. Wish me luck!
