To Do List

Is it time for me to put me at the top of my to do list?

I can say that it is. It may take a couple of weeks for me to get to this point. But it is time for me to come first. It is time for me to put myself first.

This may mean many things over the coming weeks and months. This may mean many things for the rest of my life.

This may include time for fun, time of exercise, time to create, time to relax, time to reflect.

Drumming Class

I went to drumming class tonight and I love it. Who would have thought that beating a drum with the palm of my hands would work up a sweat?

It's fun. It's fun. It's fun.

I can't believe that I have to miss a week because I am going away. I am okay with this. But I think that I need to keep going and I think that I need to get a drum.

A year of hiding

It has been over a year since I have blogged. There is no excuse. I may have been working way to many hours, I may have been spending too long sitting on the couch and watching the TV, I may just have been hiding.

My life has not moved forward. I feel that I have been going through the motions, not changing, not growing.

I have cut off my hair and I need to make some serious decisions about what I am going to do and what I am going to do and what I am going to do. Will what I am going to do change who I am going to be?

I will no longer be waiting to see what is going to happen. I will make it happen. I am not going to wait. No longer. No longer. No longer.

A year of hiding is over. It starts with small steps - cutting my hair off is a start, drumming class on
Monday. Let's see what will become.
