Feeling Cold . . . I have that winter restlessness that I tend too get once a year that comes with feeling cold. At this time I am always ready too move away, find a new project, create a new space for my family, new job, new house, new recipe, new paint color. . . I dream of summer nights and miss the romance of rolling down the windows; listening to music in the dark warm air, falling asleep in a warm shadow; instead I find myself running from the cold, running from a life that feels boring and nonexistent. I keep trying to find solitude in all that I am, but I look around and feel like I haven’t accomplished very much. I feel as though today needs to be the day . . . Kinda like that commercial for the Georgia Lottery (that I will win on Tuesday)

Today Will Be the Day

This will forever be my future motto, I always wanted a motto anyway and this just seems so perfect.

Today Will Be the Day . . . for new beginnings, new goals, new records, new every things! Today, I have checked one more thing off that I wanted to do in my life. I am sick of my excuses. My excuses of keeping my “babyweight” on, so you guessed it, Today will be the Day that I start my ass in gear, however big that ass may have gotten over the past 15 months, I will shake that ass into losing this extra mass that has attached to my body since getting pregnant 15 months ago.

Here are some goals that I need to put in to print so that they will be in front of my face, until I complete them.

Run a Half Marathon – Today Will Be the Day
Learn how to speak Italian - Today Will Be the Day
Learn how to play an instrument (Guitar) - Today Will Be the Day
Lose this “Babyweight” and then some - Today Will Be the Day
Eat Healthy - Today Will Be the Day
Cook at least 4 times a week - Today Will Be the Day
Drink more water - Today Will Be the Day
Read (something other than Nursery Rhymes) - Today Will Be the Day
I’ve kind of consumed myself with Motherhood and I need to find that place for my husband again - Today Will Be the Day
Stay organized – In my home, in my car, in my life, with my baby and my husband - Today Will Be the Day
Do something for myself (like take a class, get my hair done, go to the chiropractor) I always feel like it is selfish to do these things – always feeling like it is a waste of money to spend on myself when I should be using that money towards my family, but Today Will Be the Day, and I feel like doing a little something for myself isn’t all that bad; I guess I should say it again b/c I feel like I just had to explain myself and make an excuse to do this – which I will do no more – TODAY WILL BE THE DAY

Oggi è una v aux giornata

Ciao
