I guess I'm coming a little late to the New Year's resolution party. Every blogger in the universe posted these 26 days ago. I like to do things at my own pace and I don't think I've made an actual New Year's resolution in my life, so this is MAJOR.
Why NOW?
Last night I had a dream that an opportunity I've waited almost half my life for, was finally mine.
But ...
...lets make that a BIG BUT...
I wasn't ready. I felt too inadequate and I wasn't prepared to accept it. My emotions were a swirling mass of joy, embarrassment, and repulsion. I just wanted it to go away. Then I wanted it back. Decision making isn't my strong point. This is why I still have white curtains. A Pinterest board full of window treatments and I can't decide on just one style for the living room.
So, about that dream -
After spending nearly fifteen years wishing for this to happen and never really preparing myself for it, I woke up to the reality that I do want that opportunity. While it's possible that it will still never happen, I still want to be ready.
I will attempt to post a new resolution every month. By the end of the year I'll have a spotless house, an organized desk, a well kept blog, a fit body and a glowing spirit.
(you can't see me laughing)
I am going to try, though. No Yoda quotes, please.
My first resolution doesn't have much to do with my dream, but I'd like to tackle it first since it might take longer than others. They say it takes 21 days to start a new habit. What about to break a bad habit? I don't think there's a patch for this one. This could take me quite a while.
Let start by cleaning my mouth out.
I wouldn't say I have a REALLY dirty mouth. There are some things I just won't say, but I do deal out some biblical terminology that could be eliminated. And a couple of other things that aren't really swearing, but that I could go without saying, just the same. This has little to do with making all my wildest dreams come true, but since we're on the subject of resolutions, I might as well get this one over with. Who's with me?
McKay Hatch, who's adorable as he can be, is a fourteen-year-old in California who started a worldwide online No Cussing Club. How great is that?
Not everyone thought it was great since he even had death threats against him and his family. I can't think of why people had a huge problem with what he was doing.
You can join his club if you need a certificate as a reminder to keep it clean. I am a member, McKay, and I love what you're doing!
