Oh yeah…go me…doing the cabbage patch….oh yeah….go me!
It has been half a year since I started this journey and it has taken me in directions that I didn’t think was possible. The therapy I have received from writing has been priceless. I don’t think I can ever give up writing again! (I am still behind on my book, but I have forgiven myself for that and 2011 will bring a few other goals for the year – my book’s included.)
To get my 1 year anniversary date, I looked back to the day that I started this blog and it was on Wednesday June 9th. Holy shitballs of fire – really?!!!! Hold on, I need to check that date again…
Yep, I started on June 9th! Normally I wouldn’t be so surprised, but June 9th is my brother’s birthday! In a few short weeks, the day before I turn 30 again (ok, I’ve turned thirty a lot of times – shhhhh!) will mark the 2nd anniversary of my brother’s death. So I ask myself, could I have really started on his birthday? A day that I knew I was going to be sad and depressed?
Well folks! The computer doesn’t lie when it comes to post dates! I guess I did unconsciously start on his birthday. Ummm it was 5am too – my mind doesn’t work that well at 5am…
Man…this actually makes me feel kind of good knowing…the date that is, not that my mind doesn’t work well.
In half a year I have gone up and down (literally), been guided in various directions and lost and found my motivation to keep going.
In half a year I. Have. Not. Quit.
In half a year I have proved to myself that I can do anything as long as I first “think” I can do anything.
In half a year I am still here, still learning and still moving forward.
Anyway, I am going to celebrate!
Hell yeah!
Maybe I will go to lunch with some friends, watch a movie by myself this afternoon, and get a new pair of shoes! Or, maybe I will hit the gym for 2 hours instead of one today, since I have a few goals to accomplish before my 1 year anniversary! After 1pm today - anything is possible!
In the next half year I have set up a few goals that I want to accomplish…
1. Attain my PT Certification in January and begin…
2. Participate in one of the Marines military Mud Runs.
3. Run (I repeat RUN) a half marathon. (Which is going to require that I get over my extreme dislike of running. – ughhhhh – you might want to keep watching out for a backup goal to #3.) Not kidding! ;-)
This past half year has been the therapeutic healing that I have needed for some time and it’s only getting better.
For me, it has been about baby steps. Taking the necessary baby steps each and every day, so that I could look back and say that I DID IT! Baby steps are the Building Blocks upon which I am constructing and manifesting my own celebrity future! Oh yeah - you read correctly! I am going to be a celebrity people (of course in my own way...) mmmkay?!
I feel a “Building Blocks U.S. Tour” coming on…the excitement is increasing by the minute!
(Doodlebug is not old enough for a World Tour yet, just in case you were wondering why I wrote U.S. Tour.)
Thank you to everyone for your support! May the support you give to me come back to you ten-fold!
Toodles!
Congratulations this is true milestone! Go celebrate and definitely get the shoes! lol.
ReplyDeleteBut wait, two hours at the gym? You don't have to get it all in today! lol.
