Gratitude Project: Day 22 Balance is for Bitches
September 25th 2008 02:24
Every January first, I resolve to live a more balanced life. To save more and spend less. To eat less and exercise more. To listen more and talk less. To be more adventurous and nest less. To pray more and complain less. To finish all of my to do lists. To attain all of my yearly goals.
Seriously...Seriously.... being goal oriented is fine, but sometimes, I can be TOO goal oriented.
There are times when goals be damned. My little black dress that hangs in the back of my closet needs to make some mischief in the City for the night from time to time. Every so often a need to have a goal that reads "for one night stop caring, land let the evening take me where it may." Every so often I enjoy the surprise of overabundance of good times dropped in my lap. I don’t know about you, but I have already passed up enough good times for three lifetimes, and I’m over that crap. So every so often I go a little crazy, eating all the "wrong" things, hanging with my peeps and generally raising a ruckus.
So there! I appreciate that I can forgive myself for being out of kilter.
