Do- Not Say

After a discussion with my friend last night, I have decided that this is my season for doing not saying. You see typically I am a big talker, but I actually accomplish little. I think I really started thinking about this goal shortly after I had my son, but it is just taking me a very long time to achieve my goals (it happens when you have kids:)

My mom and I started trying to create a menu plan for the month. This has helped me tremendously. We do all our shopping for the week together on Friday or Saturday and then we prep our meals for the week. Why I haven't always been doing this, I have no idea. Gone is the drive home pondering of, "What will we eat tonight?" A little prep early on is saving me loads of time.

Since I have been off work, I have been trying to deep clean our house (Notice the word trying). I started off feeling on top of the world- cleaned out our refrigerator and began to tackle the upstairs junk bedroom. I have bogged down a little now, but am trying not to lose too much momentum. (Honestly, I didn't just lose enthusiasm- I went blueberry picking.)

Another goal is writing. I have loved to write since before I can remember and have only been doing it for myself and a few close friends/my mother. Putting myself out there is not really my thing. I cringe at the thought of rejection, but after our discussion I have decided that this year is my year. And this blog is one of the first steps in my writing revolution. The journey begins.
