twenty-fourteen





Every year - we say it.... THIS YEAR WILL BE THE YEAR. This will be the year I get on that bike, the year I lose that weight, the year I find that gal/fella, the year I start LIVING. And every year, for most, we don't do anything. I mean, don't get me wrong. I am right there too. The first week (or two) are the determined, motivated and STRONG weeks. WE CAN DO THIS. And then the daily grind, the demands and the cold (especially) - takes hold and we go back. And by September, we say " Next year... next year I will live..."

THIS IS MY CHALLENGE. Make it. Make it more than those 2 weeks. Make it more - Make this a change for the better. For your LIFE. For the past couple of weeks, I have been seeing signs in my life that I need to make a change. I have lost the adventure - the chase of this life. I am living, but not as much as I can be. We got one life, and I don't want to look back and say... I saw a lot of great movies on Netflix, I had a really clean house, I learned to make soup?

COME ON. So my challenge for myself, and Join if you like, is to just LIVE BIGGER. As big as I can with the little money I have. Say YES and do things. 

So here I go. Day one. Let's see the life I can live.

sleeping in on saturdays

This past week, I could feel it in my bones, in my soul. It was time to make a change. Breaking down on a rainy Monday, watching the traffic buzz by, I decided something needs to change. Live simple. Take my life and cut the muck out and draw the good in. Get off the computer and in the air. Get out of the stuffy rooms and get into the trees and books I have stacked on my shelves. Instead of just being, and walking through this life, day to day, doing nothing to enrich my life, I am going to make small changes. Cleaning out my house and garage, picking up a book or two instead of turning on the TV. Painting... ahh what a night! Saving my money and feeling what It is like to eat a fridge down or make food from scratch. Live off what I got and don't need anything for a while. Lean on those that are sticking around and make a pie for them! discover guitar again, break my weak fingers into those strings and sing to the night. rediscover writing and feeling. I used to get so deep, try...
