I am amazed to find that this blog is still sitting here almost two years later. I am less amazed to realize that time keeps flying by and I keep making little to no progress toward my goals...and how sincere and optimistic I am each time I begin again.
I was at a Daisy Scout meeting tonight. One of the leader-moms and her family are moving to Texas and I am disappointed. It's not as though we had become close friends...we are little more than acquaintances. But, she is one of those women who makes you feel good by just being around her. She is the kind of woman you want to be...or at least drink a few glasses of wine with. I kept hoping that one day she might rub off on me just a little.
She's always upbeat, she always seems put together, she always seems to have the time to volunteer and be involved and to do the right things. She runs and golfs and plays tennis. I'll bet her Pinterest boards would be amazing.
As for me, I'm feeling like a scattered mess. No matter how hard I work to try to catch up, I just keep falling farther behind. I have amazing bursts of energy that help propel me ahead, but I'm feel like I'm starting to run out of fuel a little. I have so many things I want to do and change for me, my family, my friends, my company...to be better, stronger, happier. Right now, however, I am exhausted and overwhelmed to the point of paralysis.
It feels like now is a good time to start again. I'm not sure what I'm even starting, but I feel like now is the time.
