Day 2 - Slow Down and Walk

I have decided to start my days off with a Blog Report. So, here we are. I am trying very hard (well, not too hard) to get my self organized and figure out how to accomplish my goal, how to record my progress on this blog, and what exactly I am capable of so I have a good starting point. Sometimes I get super excited about a project and then my energy runs out. Don't get me wrong. I do finish things that I start, but sometimes at a racing pace. Sometimes, I just lose interest in whatever I was doing because I had either accomplished some part of the project that pleased me or I decided I didn't really care if the project got finished right then. My intentions are usually good, but at times they are so quickly contrived that I plunge into the cold water and don't like it. That's when it is time to get out of the water, so to speak.

My desire with this challenge is to find a pace that works for me to accomplish something that would be extremely meaningful for me and my family. That's why I've called it a challenge. I will really have to be committed to the greater good here. Am I? I want to be.

I must admit, I am a detailed and complicated thinker. I will change my ideas as I go along on this journey as I see better ways of doing things. Please bear with me as I make those minor adjustments. In the end, I desire success.

I have always been a sprinter. My whole life whether at a track and field event or on the basketball court, I sprint. None of the endurance running. No marathons for me thank you very much. That is the way I have approached life as well. I sprint. New change of direction for me: SLOW DOWN and WALK. I will definitely need to build up my muscles in this area. Do I have muscles in this area??? Yikes. What am I getting myself into.

Good Grief, I am seeing it clearly for what it really is: a commitment! Yikes!! Run!!!

As I soft talk my tender, frightened soul, I know that endurance is a valued quality. One I want. One worth the effort. It's OK little soul. Remember our motto: Anything is possible when you take baby steps. We'll just do a baby step today. Today, let's just get dressed, pick up the house, and read Eat, Pray, Love. 

OK, now that I can do. All this analyzing is getting in my way. (smiles) Let's get started.
