I’m not prone to making New Year’s Resolutions. Never have been really, I’m more the kind of person who just does what needs to be done when I see someone or something in need. That’s why it took me by surprise when, after Christmas, I started thinking some really deep thoughts about things I wanted to change during the New Year.
Thoughts along the lines of not being happy with the large amount of work I’m doing and the small amount of fun I’m having. Thoughts about how I’m allowing my work to suck all the creative juices out of me leaving behind a withered, papery husk by the end of each week. Thoughts about how much time (and life) I’m wasting on Facebook and Pinterest and, dare I say it aloud, WordPress.
Now don’t start thinking I’m going to quit bringing the massage goodness to Decatur, I’ll still be working. I’m just going to be doing more mano y mano and less online. There are, after all, bills to pay, dogs to feed and I am beginning understand why massage therapists don’t really retire, they just slowly wean down their clientele.
This doesn’t mean I won’t be blogging here, I will. It doesn’t mean you won’t ever see me on Facebook, I’ll be there, just less. Less sitting around hitting the refresh button waiting for someone to comment on my latest brilliant Facebook post. Less trolling Pinterest for the latest, neatest, yummiest whatever that promises to change my life. Less stressing and turtling over the long, long list of things that must absolutely be done, right now.
Less Vegging; More Being
More enjoying the moment, being present. More creating whether it be writing or cooking or scrapbooking or crafting something beautiful for the office or house. More music and dancing. More creative fuel. And hopefully more joy.
I’ve not completely figured out the end goal of all this. Perhaps there isn’t one. Perhaps it’s just that I need to learn to enjoy the journey more. That sounds good, Enjoy The Journey. Perhaps the best resolution of all.
