Wow….life really is full of twists and turns.

I made a commitment to myself at my birthday that I would write every day. That hasn’t happened.

Is it disappointing? Yes, somewhat.

Am I disappointed in MYself? NO. I am not.

Here’s why….

I don’t like the idea of waiting for a certain date to start a new thing. You can start today. Yes, I get it that sometimes there is some planning involved that needs to be done but overall I am not a fan or advocate of wanting to do something in October but waiting until “the new year”. I am also not a fan of the statement “I fell off the wagon” because this to me indicates that someone or something else is in control of you when in FACT we have control over ourselves. You had a piece of cake or a cheat meal or vacation. You didn’t fall off anything, it’s called LIFE. It’s important to keep moving forward, keep trying, keep building consistency. So that eventually we have more days stacked up completing or accomplishing the “thing” we set out to do. Stacking wins instead of losses. Ultimately it’s not quitting, it’s continual work even slow progress on our own selves.

What started out as a few low days turned into other life issues began with the very big loss of my fur baby Max. He was ten and a half years old. Then I became aware of some tech issues as I realized that I accidentally created a second website and all my new blogs were being posted on the new site. Which I did not want. I had to amalgamate the two and delete the domain I did not want. This was not done on my own, I had to email WordPress and thankfully they were very helpful!

Anyhow…I’m back in the saddle and instead of getting down on myself and quitting I am moving forward.
