Well, the Holiday hustle and bustle is over and now I'm getting started on my new year. Need to get all my files cleaned out and start fresh. I'm excited that this year will be the one we get to buy our retirement home and start our last third of our lives. I think it will be a huge step forward for us. It will enable me to work less and enjoy more. That's a good start.
2011 is a NEW BEGINNING
so my goals for 2011...
of course it starts with health, which means exercise and eating healthy. I'm going to try Ginger's plan and the goal is to lose 5 pounds. Period. No time frame. No worry, just lose five pounds. Without gluten in my diet, I already feel very much better, have more energy, and more stamina. It's made a huge, huge difference in my attitude and outlook also.
Second. I would like to spend one hour per day cleaning, organizing, purging, and packing this house. We know we'll be moving in 2011. I don't want to move anything that doesn't mean something important to us. I have 120 days until the end of April, so that makes 120 hours to clean, pack, and purge. Time to contemplate whether or not I want to keep something.
Third. I would like to make at least one new outfit every month. Phyllis gave herself a challenge to make one outfit a month to wear to the ASG meetings, and that one works for me. Of course, ideally, many would be better so I have a coordinated "SWAP" to wear, but one a month is good. And throw in bras and panties to the mix also...
So, instead of my normal huge list of resolutions, three fairly reasonable ones makes it simplier. So there we go.
Onward and upward!

Five minutes to free associate
Five minutes this morning to free associate. Leaving shortly for San Diego to say goodbye to mom. Huge mixed bag of feelings. Daddy, Nana, Grandma Ben, so many people running through my mind and my psyche. Interesting video Dale showed me last night where a little boy was "in heaven" while he was undergoing surgery and he said everyone was their young selves.
Would be fun to see my daddy young and wonder how my Nana, Grandma Ben, and everyone would look. Mom will be happy to have her young flirty self back.
I am going through a lot of reflection.
Think this is going to be the start of a new life for me. Things will change. Looking at who I am now, and who I was back then.
Starting the third phase of my life and it's time to get back on track and see who I am, where I am, what I want, where I'm going, what I will be when I get there.
Need to get it together, no more living my life willy-nilly no goals, impulsive, scattered.
I am looking for the me that was an ATHLETE, fun, giggly, a little wild, and at the same time loving, caring, and adventurous.
We'll see where that girl is.
Figure I lived the first third of my life kind of unconscious, doing and being and not aware of what was going on around me. A little shy because I thought who I was was so unacceptable to people, I needed to hide my wild child side because they wouldn't like me for who I was until they got to know the "nice, proper" girl.
When I did the self hypnosis class and began the road to discovery in my early 30s, I became who I thought of as me, a woman I liked with wonderful qualities, but also with a whole lot on the ball. I had it all. I was who I wanted to be, and could share that with the world.
Then I married Bob, and a quiet, settled life began. He was uncomfortable with the wild child, so she went back away and took out her creativity in sewing and creating beautiful clothing. When he died, everything fell apart and the Lynda I love went away.
She came back for a short while, then when the business went crazy she got buried alive. It's time for her to come back and have fun and enjoy her life.
Journey to the middle of me has begun. We'll see how it goes.
Time to jump in the shower and move forward.
New life here I come!

Trying to figure out who and what this old lady is
Been trying to figure out what's going on with this old body and who I am and why I am and what's going on with me at this age.
Have been to the doctors and they can't figure out what or why or wherefore about me, my body and my psyche.
The accupuncturist has given me some insight into the issues I'm facing. That I'm not paying attention to my body and the signals it's been giving me. That I need to get back in touch with my body, my spirit, and my brain and reintegrate all the disparate parts and see where I'm going over the next 30 years.
About 30 years ago I started a journey into discovering who I was as a relatively young woman who had reached an age where she needed to figure out the whos, whats and whyfores of her life. I did a pretty good job, got where I wanted to be and had all of the parts of my life in sync, so I was happy, healthy, and had a wonderful life.
And that lasted a pretty long time, but here I am at almost 64, without direction and not happy with who I am at this point in time, and need to find the me I like. So the journey to the middle has begun.
