A recap – I was taking a creative writing course from January through to a
week ago. In the last class, the teacher asked about blogs, I ended up looking
at mine and realized that I had some ok stuff on there. And I realized I hadn’t
written on it for A YEAR!!! Wow.
So I’d like to restart.
I have been up to a lot of things this past year - most were internal but that's ok. That's good for me. You always need time to reflect and think and change and most importantly GROW.
This post will be a small one and the
jist of the post is JUST START SOMETHING! Anything! But only ONE THING.
Why??
I need to start something because:
I have been lazy.
I have been injured.
I have been unmotivated.
I have been in my own bubble.
;-)
And here I am – quite a few
added pounds and inches, a calf that hasn’t healed, possibly because I haven’t done as
recommended (or something really bad is wrong with it), unmotivated because of those two things and I really really like
my bubble (somehow it remains all good in this bubble of mine), lol. But I am
looking for a change. Hence the JUST START SOMETHING! But only one thing.
Anymore than that and it can be discouraging. Honestly, just start one thing.
Pick it and do it. Let go of the list. The list is too big and discourages. It
overwhelms.
A very good and knowing
friend gave me this little keepsake which sits on my bedside table. Today it is
very fitting.
My starting point is I am
going for a swim. Swimming is a great all-over-body exercise. It will start me
on the path to activity with very low injury possibility. It is non-impact. I
did a super small 50m jog while on a walk with Blue the other night and found
that the next day my calf injury was still there (because somehow I really thought that ignorance was bliss) and just slightly nagging at me. So
obviously there is truly something wrong with it. So running is not the answer
right now. So I will swim. That is it. Well, that and some strengthening
exercises I was already supposed to be doing. Shhhhhh....
For those that are on the
mailing list and don’t want to be, just email me back and I’ll take you off. For
those who want ON it, sign up - on the right there is an email sign up! For people on the mailing list happily - hit the link to go to my actual blog and comment – It is encouraging to
know people are listening and enjoying it or hating it and even a comment can
set off a new post . . . I know it can be weird but hey, just put a smiley face
or an angry face or whatever. Just mark your territory. Let me know you are out
there.
