The Goal... The Mission... The Rediscovery
As I started thinking about what my new year's resolution would be I found myself drawing a blank. So many things where in my head I couldn't come up with just one. The more I thought about it, the less I could pin point just one or even two things. There are just so many things that I want to do/change. I started thinking about what those things where and it finally hit me. I don't need a resolution to start the new year that will eventually disappear by mid January. What I need to do is rediscover myself. Enter the idea of this blog.
I was recently turned on to Pinterest, where several items have been pinned from blogs. The more blogs I visited, I saw myself yearning to do things. Things I've wanted to do, things I used to do, but somehow along the way I just stopped. It has been a gradual progression into what I would call "the blob state". :-) That's how I feel, like a blob. This is not me, not the me in my head, anyway. This past year, 2011, has been the final straw.
According to my last doctor's visit, my weight is the highest it's ever been. I looked away when the nurse jumped to the higher number, so I don't remember the exact number. But trust me, it's up there! Way above anywhere I thought it would be. As the year finally comes to a close I realize now that something must change. On a daily basis I feel drained, both mentally and physically, yet I do nothing but sit in a sofa all day. Clearly not how I want to spend my life.
As of January 1st, 2012 I will begin blogging my thoughts, struggles (I'm sure there will be some), successes and just parts of my life as I try to reconstruct myself. All with the goal of rediscovering the me I once knew and an even better me that I know I can be. Get back to doing the things I love... crafting, cooking, scrapbooking, traveling, gardening, dancing... laughing! My goodness, so many things! Taking care of me.
I'm not sure if anyone will ever find this blog and accompany me on this journey... but it will at least serve as a venue to express myself.
Come on 2012!
