First of all, I want to apologize to anyone who had their Google Reader inundated with posts from me! I just went through all of my posts and added tags – and I didn’t realize that updates got sent to the reader! Sorry.
Now I know.
However, in reading the posts, I laughed. I went back to the beginning and read my posts… funny (to me). However, reading “Forever Humbled” and “Memorial Day” made me tear up because I remember the emotions I had writing them (even though the emotion doesn’t come straight through in the posts…)
I almost deleted a bunch of them, but then decided, NO! I won’t do that.
I also saw a theme and am literally kicking myself in the ass for it…
Motivation.
Getting it and doing something with it.
Seems I have all the ‘best intentions’ when I write these posts… (I even named a post that) – but as I read post after post of me saying I was going to do this or start that, I had to slam my head down on the desk and then say UH OH.
I haven’t done them…
I haven’t exercised every day (I have even recently let my exercise blog go as cold as my muscles have been)
I haven’t eaten 5 times a day.
I haven’t stopped snacking at night.
I haven’t written much on any of my stories.
I haven’t been the positive public person I strive to be.
So what have I done?
A lot… Thanks for asking
I have been told by the therapist that I took my son to, that he does not need to see her (its been quite a few months… just giving updates here)
I have been told by my son’s teachers that his behavior has markedly improved to the point of “did he have a problem?”. (I LOVED HEARING THAT… just saying)
I have been taking my vitamins.
I have been sleeping better.
I have been more patient with my son.
I have been spending more quality time with my husband.
I have been interacting socially (IRL, not just online!)
May not be all that I have planned to do, but I am happy about having done all of those things… and even though I have a lot more to do, and the things on my list are important… I’m finally doing and getting to the place that I needed to be…
I am happy.
