Needless to say, it's time to start committing to the commitment. And while I've perfected things like parenting, pet ownership, and my husbands happiness- I've found that there are things you absolutely need to do for yourself. In the infamous words of one of my mentors, "You've gotta do what turns you on." For me, that's simple. Writing with sincerity, loving genuinely, and laughing until it hurts. One day I'll get to reading those books, investing in my 401K, and refusing red meat but in the meantime, stay tuned- there's more to come! And you, what's next? Are you ready to pop the question? Do tell...

I Do!
Now that New Years is 4 months past and the Lenten season has bid adieu until next year, I feel it's time to start making some real commitments without the burden of a resolution or a religious affiliation. I don't enjoy making promises I probably won't keep nor do I find pleasure in having to explain why I can't stop my carnivorous craving for rib eye or how "cramps" have kept me from the gym yet again! I'd truly like to get on the Suze Orman train to financial freedom and finally finish reading the 7 half read books that are sitting on my bedside table.

You don't know how many half-read books I have on my book shelf. So many book markers that go in and never come back out! You're so right about how hard it is to commit to commitment. Now we're at the stage in our lives we've accomplished so much, and now looking for new challenges. Or we may have life goals yet to be attained because of some fear or trepidation. I say heck with it. Life's too short (sorry for the cliche). Don't look at it with fear...turn it into the excitement of the new and unknown. Make it enjoyable to do new things and explore different parts of yourself. I believe that's living a good life. It doesn't necessarily involve money, but needs a whole lotta love. Love in the peeps around you, love for what you do, love for who you are and now a love for what's new. Go out there people!!! There's a big ass universe out there...check it out.
ReplyDeleteWho said you've perfected parenting, mom?? Ha Ha.. Very funny! I don't think mommies chuck chapsticks at their beloved daughters! Haha, just joking but now i understand the text this morning, "commit to your commitments." Its just time to buckle down, we're in the home stretch of living in hawaii!
