Well, here I am, quite some time later (as seems to be the trend with this blog.) One of my oldest besties, Kim, just recently started a new blog. In the process of helping her get started I found myself really itching to get back into both of mine. Then this morning she lovingly informed me that I needed to get back into it because she needed something else to follow & read, so this one is for you Kimmy! :)
In light of the start and stop trend of this particular blog I'm wondering, what do you start and stop in your life? What do you think causes the start and stop for you? With me it's the simply laziness. I have no adorable babies *yet* and until about 3 weeks ago I had no job. I am in school but it's online so let's be honest, I do it all at the laaaaast minute. So, my only reason for my start and stop is pure laziness! The more and more I think about it I'm finding that this little laziness issue is causing me to miss out on a lot of great things in life.
This blog, for instance...I LOVE sharing thoughts/ideas/tips/random life ponderings with and asking questions of other women (and some men too.) A blog is a great forum for that because it's like one big living room couch with some people you may know very well and some you may not know at all. So why in the world (especially when I know very few people in the area I'm living in) would I ever NOT continue to blog? I'm missing out on sharing with you all and hearing back! It's the ultimate chick thing to do, TALK!
Something else I feel I'm missing out on, adventure and life experiences! I've been wanting to go to these really neat caves they have in the area but have just never taken the time to really figure out where they are or how to go about doing it. I think this is in part because I feel like we'll always have the opportunity. It's the 'ol "ahh, tomorrow's another day" mentality. The older I get, the less acceptable this thought becomes and yet it's also my most frequent thought.
Probably the one that should be least put off is the good 'ol weight loss/life change start and stop. Ohhh you know you've been there, don't even pretend! This one is probably the one that should get my attention the MOST and yet, nada! I have it all planned out in my head, I see the skinny girl inside me running long distances, oh she's so cute but alas, the big girl is tired from walking up the stairs and can't be bothered! She's afraid of what people will think of her in the apartment gym or walking about in the neighborhood. Maybe this one is a mixture of confidence and laziness but it's certainly the one that needs to be addressed the most (more on that in a later post.)
So here we are, one finished blog and only about 5 minutes later (YAY!) I can now say I've finished something today! Small as it may be, it's a start and this time, NO STOP! Life is on a curve right now and this curvy chick is excited to see what's around the bend and I can't wait to CONTINUE sharing it with you!
Let me know your stop and starts below! I'm nosey, I mean curious :o)
