Well, here we are into a new year. I have been thinking about some things I can do this year to make a difference. Not necessarily in the world, but in me. I am painfully aware that there are many aspects of my life that could use some improvement. So, this years project is going to be to work on me.
One of the things about me that I dislike the most is that I tend to let others kind of bully me around. I get upset, but, instead of fighting back, I tend to seeth in silence. This, in turn makes for a bad few minutes when I get home, as my dear husband has to listen as I blow off steam, and get it out of my system. So I know he will appreciate this.
I also have been a closet writer since the age of 10. I write mostly poetry, and I alway keep a copy of whatever I write. The things that inspire me are things that happen around me, like, the Challenger disaster. I also see things as I go about my every day life that just make something “click” in my brain, and I write a poem about them. I never know when one is comoing, but when they come, I have to write them down. I want to devote more time to writing. Why? ther han the fact that it gives me great pleasure, I really don’t know. I have never known how to submit anything for payment, and still have no clue. But something inside of me just says that I have to write. So, I am going to do it.
Another thing that I want to do is to try to find some clothes that are a little more updated. I am from the old mold. I don’t feel like a fifty something should necessarily dress like a 20 year old. But on the other hand, I don’t think a 20 year old needs to dress like a fifty something, either. So, I am going to try and get myself out of the rut of what is “safe” and be a little more stylish, without looking pathetic. (This will be a big challenge for me, as I have a hard time finding clothes that I feel are appropriate.)
I am, and have always been, very opinionated. Sometimes, to the point of bluntness. This is something that I need to work on, so I plan to do that. I have another blog, where I will be stating my opinion about world affairs, politics, and just my own opinion about them. But that is not for this blog. This one is more for just everyday stuff. Kind of like this piece. I would like some fedback on it, if you would.. I like to know that someone reads what I write. Like it or hate it, I would like to know what you think, If you have suggestions, I would really like to hear them.
I am also going to be more consistant with the posts. Whatever I feel like writing about is what you will get. But, I promise, here, NO politics. Today being MLK day, I will borrow a line from his famous speech. “I have a dream.” It is to work toward being a better person, and hopefully, share some of that with you. Until tomorrow, take care, and keep smiling.
