The CK Daily – New Goals & a Progress Update
Hello & Happy Wednesday!
Checking in with you all this morning on a few of my goals for the year, one in particular being my reading goal. As you may remember, my goal is to read 26 books this year. As of today, I am at 23, and hopefully by the end of today, 24! I think I can confidently say, I’m going to crush my goal of 26.
As I’ve been reading different books, some that you all have recommended, I think I’m learning what genres I enjoy over others. Some days, there are books that I don’t want to put down. They get me hooked and keep me on my toes wanting to know what’s going to happen next.
I recently read Kill Joy by Holly Jackson. It was a quick read, but SO good. I highly recommend it.
A new goal I’ve set for myself between now and the end of the year is to find or discover what my true hobbies are or one that I can really enjoy after a day of work. Having a newborn really sucks the day away sometimes, but I want to make sure I’m taking care of myself and doing things that I enjoy as well. I have several things I typically find myself doing, but I’m really looking for that one thing that allows me some time to rest my mind and decompress. Any recommendations?
I hope you have a wonderful week and a great weekend ahead!

Enterprise networks are often tasked with bringing a bunch of smaller networks together. This could include connecting branch offices, different buildings on a campus, or remote monitoring stations. There are many ways it comes together.
