New Year\u2019s resolutions!? To that I say \u201cPah!\u201d<\/p>\n
Everything is a work in progress. Why load up one poor day with so much weight!<\/p>\n
Alright, I admit it. I do it too. Make vows of one sort or another. But at least I don\u2019t beat myself with them! That\u2019s not what they\u2019re for.<\/p>\n
If I make a resolution to clear out all my clutter by the end of January and I don\u2019t make that deadline, does that mean I failed?<\/p>\n
No, it means that I found out it takes longer than that. So I keep going. For how long? Till I finish? Finish what, specifically?<\/p>\n
I keep selecting tinier goals. Such as, I\u2019m going to liberate this particular room from clutter by the end of this month, and no fair schlepping it all into another room.<\/em>\u00a0Even that can turn out to be too big, depending on how much is in the room. So I go smaller. As in, I\u2019m going to weed through the clothes in the closet this weekend.<\/em><\/p>\n Who cares about where we are in the calendar, really? I\u2019m constantly re-assessing my progress throughout the year. It\u2019s useless to throw up my hands in despair. Instead, I adjust and rejigger my intentions.<\/p>\n One needs encouragement. Inspiration. Other people who are doing the same thing I am.<\/p>\n Hence this blog.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" New Year\u2019s resolutions!?
