I turned 39 last week. I've been thinking of starting a blog for at least a year or so. A couple days before my birthday, I had a thought. "What if I try to make this year one of my best yet? What if I could try to do all those things I've been wanting to do, like drink those 8 glasses of water every day, or floss, of FORCE myself to exercise instead of making excuses?" The thought also included other things that are always on my mind, such as be a better mom, find ways to create something every day, or figure out the family budget and stick to it. There were also many other things that branched off in all kinds of directions but I remember being energized by the idea.
It's been a week now, and I haven't really done anything different. I got frustrated with myself this evening as I looked back at my day and realized I'd gotten very little accomplished and I'd pretty much wasted the day, just as I have for years.
I keep a journal. Have done since I was ten. But writing to myself on paper doesn't seem to be working in this case. I think I need to put this "out there", perhaps that will force me to be more accountable... To whom? I suppose, if no one reads this, I'm still accountable to no one but myself. But maybe that's not the point. Maybe the point is, I finally started my blog.
I'm completely new to this. Hopefully as time progresses I can customize this a bit more.
Not really sure how to classify this. All I hope is that this will be a fun, creative, positive place to come and write about everything and anything that interests me. And maybe it will interest others as well?
