Day 73, October 3, 2016 @7:53 am
Here I am, showing up for another day. It’s almost two and a half months into my yearly challenge of doing different. But who’s counting, eh? The good thing about me is that I am easily motivated. Give me a suggestion and I’m off. You don’t have to fire that gun at the starting line. The trouble with me is – I’m easily bored. I don’t have staying power. I fall off that proverbial wagon constantly. Hence, I have many unfinished projects – sweaters, cross-stitches, petite points, want-to-be books, wanna ambitions….
So how do I stay motivated and get to the Promised Land? The destination is still far off beyond the horizon. How not to live half-assed? How do I romance myself? It’s the core of this yearly challenge. I have to leave it here and finish my tea. How are you romancing yourself?
Oh, I do love a challenge. The little engine that could, that’s me! It keeps me going, moving. It gives me purpose. I stand up, walk around. I’m a little more alert. I tap, tap, a word comes, an idea comes. Finally a sentence. I get up, put the kettle on for a cup of tea. A picture and another idea and sentence comes. I build little by little. Knit, purl, kit, purl – row upon a row. Almost half a back. You can see the lacy panel now. By Christmas a sweater I will have.
