Commitment

You may want to step back a little, I am about to toot my own horn and it might be loud. You see, today I just plain do not feel good. Nothing stands out, I am just tired, a little bit of a sore throat, a little achy and a little bit of a stuffy nose. OK, here comes the toot…I am still writing. I made a commitment to myself in 2009 to write everyday for a year and I am still going strong. Now let's not be petty and bring up the two or three days when I did not post because of scheduling conflicts, over all I have been very committed to my blog and my writing.

It is not easy to think when your body is in shut down mode. I am having a tough time pulling the energy together to even make sentences. My day with a full agenda is suddenly looking like a day with a cozy blanket and pillow and I am disappointed. I was moving about the last few weeks so proud and happy that I had remained healthy throughout the holidays and now BAM! I am hoping that a little down time today will help get me back on track.

Anyway, back to the commitment thing…originally I was writing so that I could heal from the loss of my Mom, but now it is more about staying connected to who I am and what I want to be. My commitment to my writing has helped me realize that when my heart is in it I can stay totally committed to just about anything, even when the chips are down and I feel rotten. As much as I would love to delve further into this, my eyes are droopy and my brain is not able to process my thoughts so…THAT'S ALL FOLKS!
