But, will I use them? I think the vehicle has great possibility. I just might.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">How many times have I projected accomplishments by a certain date, outlined my plan of attack, visualized a certain result ... and later found the sheets of paper, still blank and the way-in-the-future goal dates long ago in the past. It's downright disheartening. </span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">During a long ago seminar I remember this call to action: You want to ride a pony but you are afraid (what else but fear stops you in your tracks?). You can think about it, talk about it, read about it, buy the pony, house it, feed it, groom it, saddle it ... but sometimes you just have to get on the pony and ride it ... JUST DO IT! Easier said than done!</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">My projects aren't magical, but I'm going to make them so ... because I just can't stand it anymore ... I'm filled with self-recriminations ... even self-loathing. This is not healthy and goes against my natural inclination, which is to be joyful. </span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">The bottom line</span></strong>: I'm embarrassed by my appearance (out of shape, <em>way</em> excess weight and middle age), and by my environmental mountain of clutter and congestion ... can't have anyone over because it's just too awful. I can't do anything about the middle age, but I don't have to look like I've given up! It's not over until it's over, so I can do something about these things if I take action. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">I did it! I boldly went where I never thought I'd go. I created two project blogs: <a href="http://www.declutteringproject.blogspot.com">Decluttering Project </a>(that's what it is) and <a href="http://www.shapechangerproject.blogspot.com">Shapechanger Project </a>(that's what it is also). <span style="color:#cc0000;"><strong>Warning</strong></span>: Read at your own risk. It isn't pretty.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11087362-111134259779561749?l=morepearlsthanwhine.blogspot.com'/></div>Lindiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07959232908785351347noreply@blogger.com3
