Valentine's Day
Yesterday I made a pledge--a faint and timid one, but a pledge nonetheless--to make some sort of Start on my 3-month adventure.
And I did.
For 10 minutes--yessirree, ten whole minutes--I worked in my Kiwi Room, starting with the wall to the right.
Then I headed off to help teach a dance class.
Came home hours later, sweaty and tired. All I was gonna do was shower, relax, and go to bed.
Or so I thought. My sweet little body--motivated no doubt by that strong and persistent butterfly inside who'd waited farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr too long to see daylight--walked itself into the Kiwi Room and worked another 30 minutes.
The miracle to me is that I actually WANTED to be doing what I was doing. It felt like a gift to myself. Something I GOT to do, instead of HAD to do.
I'm on a roll, world . . .

Keep on rollin'! Love that you came back and worked even when you were tired. It's that kind of determination that will help this be a lifestyle change and not just a temporary push. Can't wait to see what you do next.
ReplyDeleteIt really surprised me to work when I was tired. I didn't consciously decide to push ahead--it was more like something inside me overrode the tired part of me, and really WANTED to do more.
ReplyDeleteYahoo! I love all the vibrant colors lying around that room. And the kiwi color is lovely, Maureen.
