Goals 12.28

We are nearing the end of the year now. And I haven’t been very diligent with this blog as of late.

I’m going to be honest with you; I hit a period of time that I just didn’t really want to write. Not that anything wasn’t inspiring me; I just didn’t really want to read whatever came out of my fingertips. The words were melodramatic, sad, melancholy, and any other synonym from the Thesaurus found on this word processor.

I became lazy and complacent. I found other things to fill my time, including losing hours on Pinterest and researching the perfect Christmas gift for my family and friends.

Life got in the way too, having to spend the majority of the day once explain to a nurse that my family just naturally has low blood pressure and it was ok to stand up. Don’t worry everyone involved is ok.

I’ll have to go through and get a couple recaps of my time spent in my hometown over Christmas, share stories of my young cousins (nieces and nephews as I call them), but for right now I want to jump into the present moment and realize, we have some goals to write.

And when I say we, I am hoping the 7 of you that actually read this (which is probably less now, because I lost some readership with my hiatus) will join me in writing a few goals for the upcoming year.

Yes, it is a time where the word resolution is thrown around and we all resolve to better ourselves and choose to workout everyday, eat healthier, but really how long does that normally last?

My cousin said a funny word the other day: revolution. Out of his young five-year-old mouth slipped revolution. We all knew he meant resolution, but that was his word.

When I look at resolutions, I see an unhappiness with myself, why can I not just be content and happy, but maybe want to strive for something more? Instead of staying stagnant in one place, I will revolutionize my life, and find new things I enjoy. Rediscover old. I don’t want to change, because for once in a very long time, I kinda like me again. I am always striving for more, but I am happy again. But maybe in that journey for more, is where we become dissatisfied.

So goals. I will have goals, for each month, each week, and the whole year. Anything from, make two vegan meals a week, to complete a headstand by March, to complete my first novel by this time next year. It is going to be quite a list! But if I see them as goals, I can have benchmarks and stepping-stones along the way. Maybe I will post the list, or keep it to myself and share some at some times. Who knows!

Now, will you help me? Write some with me? Keep me accountable? Join me in this endeavor.

Happy Holidays, friends.
