We should all remember and apply the simple maxims of our childhood.
"You have to pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start all over, again!"
I have been thinking of this blog for several months now (READ - feeling guilty, lazy.....). My posts ended less than a month from their beginning with a blow to my ego. What started with good intentions and loads of insight ended quickly with the first real challenge to my self-image.
However, I still long to write and feel that this is a medium in which I can express myself.
"Dust yourself off"
The year has not been a total bust when I think of the growth and connections I have attempted to make. I feel as if I have closer relationships with my siblings. I feel as though I manage work and work relations better. My husband and I are closer than we have been in years. My children are growing into honorable, lovely young adults with ideas and lives of their own, both of whom make their Mom very proud!
"Dust yourself off"
So, the day before I celebrate my 50th birthday, I wish to rededicate myself to the following:
1. Writing in this blog
2. Self-growth and discovery
3. Fostering true relationships
4. Increasing my spirituality
5. Simplifying my life and its clutter
