I still haven't gotten my act together the way I want to. But I'm not letting it bother me... at least not too much. I went to the gym again today. It feels good and I've got a goal with this whole exercise thing, but I'm not going to share it quite yet. I got the kitchen cleaned up a bit this afternoon, I made a good meal for dinner, and our sheets are currently in the dryer so we'll have a lovely warm, fresh bed to get into tonight. I got a start on getting the Christmas decorations put away (finally)- I am hoping to get them nicely organized in the new green and red bins and that's why it's taking so long. I'm getting into bed as soon as the sheets are dry to read book #100. Speaking of book #100, I've got something going with this whole reading thing too, but I'm not sharing until it's ready. Ooo, so many secrets!
I guess I'm a bit overwhelmed by the opportunity each day brings and I've got so much I want to be and do. My Mom told me to slow down and she's right. I wrote a list today of things I would like to accomplish in 2009. I would like to do a "life-list" as well. I was thinking about it the other day and was inspired further by Pastor Ryan at This is Reverb with his 100 item list. I'm a list person and putting things on paper tends to make me feel better. If I can get organized about my goals and desires, get them out of my head and into a touchable/readable medium, maybe they won't drive me crazy by popping into my mind and causing me to think about each one randomly on a daily basis.
Here are some of my 2009 items:
* Worship somehow every Sunday
* Read at least half of the top 100 books
* Make dinner every week night
* Complete Aerosmith Guitar Hero, levels Easy and Medium
* Take at least one picture a day
* Taste a new food
* Visit a state I've never been to
* Play with and pet kitties daily
* Journal (handwritten) at least three times a week
* Do something special for Hubby (at least) once a week
My list could be practically endless for just one year, nevermind a "life list." But it feels good to see written down the things I desire. The things you hope to do definitely express in a way the person that you are and/or want to be. My list shows that I desire a stronger faith and relationship with God, I desire to provide for my husband, I desire creativity, I want to express myself, I like and desire to travel, I wish to be daring and to try new things, I like to enjoy life and spend time doing relaxing, fun activities.
It's kind of strange to be struggling with getting back "into the swing of things," but I'm glad to be relaxed about it without totally letting things go. Life is good and I'm glad to have opportunity and ability.
In honor of one of my list items, below is my photo of the day. Lucy is a silly kitty and almost looks like she likes being held upside down. Hubby says he doesn't love these kitties, but the way he picks her up and holds her and pets her says otherwise. I find it quite adorable, which you can barf about if you want to.
