Well, it is true, I haven't kept even one of my new years resolutions and it is already the middle of January. To be honest I haven't even started some of them. I seem to be at a stalemate in my life, I don't have the energy nor am I in the mood to make any changes. I am trying to surround myself with affirmation that I am where I am suppose to be and that I need to spend more time relaxing and enjoying where I am right now. (It is really crap, and I know it), but helps ward off the guilt that seems to swirl around me on occasion when I haven't made any changes or accomplished anything in the last few days. Don't worry, my complacent attitude will change, as it does with all of us. We all have this drive to be a little better, or accomplish a little more, it isn't always good, because we; especially women don't know how to put limits on ourselves. We spend a lot of time comparing ourselves to others and to their accomplishments. We forget or trivialize all of our own accomplishments, we miss seeing the greatness in ourselves. That is what I will focus on this week; noticing all that I do, not what doesn't get done. Focusing on the fact that I haven't screamed, or yelled or slapped anyone that obviouslydeserved it! Noticing what I have done, and what all those around me have done this week, instead of what we haven't done. Damn, life looks better already!

Keep going, we are doing great!!... Take a deep breath in and start another day!!

    LOVE IT! You are a wonderful writer and have such a strong voice. I look forward to reading you forever more. :) I myself enjoy eating batches of hell, if they have chocolate chips in them. If not, forget it. Love you!

  4. Validate yourself girl. Out with the guilt and in with the See's Chocolates and Diet Coke. At our age we're entitled to do only what we want when we're in the mood. It's finally our turn to relax for once. Go for it! Love you.

  5. Sounds like there is some limiting beliefs behind those words. If you ever would like to explore those beliefs, I here for you. TBG

  6. So glad to find your blog! For the last two years I decided to abandon personal growth, and instead focus on survival. Very mature, I know. So you are already doing much better than me. Even wanting change is a big step. This year I may venture out and better myself...or I may not!-Sarah
