Hello NEW year!
Hiya Gentle Reader,
Here we are celebrating day 3 of 2012. YAY for us! Pretty fine indeed I'd say. Ok, we have white hot chocolate, peppermint mocha, or Earl Grey tea ready in Fiesta mugs in the kitchen. Shortbread too. Yup. We got it all going on.
My holiday week was lovely despite politely asking my head cold to leave the planet. Persistent little thing. Soon I hope! Lots of family time in there too which I love and this included numerous movie marathons - bliss!
Today let's chat about your BLUE SKY DREAMS. You know the ones I am referring to - the goals that is all big and bright and shiny in January and then start to tarnish a bit by March. Everyone has at least one idea that they think about all the time. The drawing courses you're going to take at the art school, the baby albums you're going to organize for your sister (your nephew is now starting grade 1...), the clothes closet that is so stuffed that you can't possibly cram in another sweater (though you do try!), or those 15 extra lbs that seem to show up only when you want to wear THOSE pants to THAT event.
I have a couple of items on that list (yes MOI, the one that has the TAH-DAH list!!). I've been working on a photo book about kitty Jack since he was born in 2008. Yes, 3 years ago. The photos are all ready for me to select from AND I'm even going to use Blurb.com so you know it's easy-peasy for me to do yet still I hesitate. The other is my clothes closet. I have clothes in there that a) have never been worn, b) are out of fashion, c) are not the most flattering, or d) all of the above. Yup D! I keep telling myself that I need to make order and that I only want to keep clothing that I adore and feel great wearing. Seems simple enough rules but I haven't taken that baby step yet. I can't figure out why either *sips peppermint mocha and reflects*
So JANUARY (yessum THIS month) is the one to tackle those items first. Start with completing a long-time goal. The one that you have written on a post-it that moves from month to month (doesn't seem that bad when you're not actually crossing it out one week and writing it in again the next). The goal itself is usually quite small - ie. "organize vacation photos from the summer" - but seems more like "build a house on a mountain." Yeah, I'd-rather-be-napping kind of stuff.
Today I'd like to list at least one goal that you're going to accomplish this month. The task that will FINALLY be checked off your TAH-DAH list (BIG STANDING OVATION GOES HERE)!!!
Until next time Gentle Reader, keep smiling!
