ooooooooh, Halfway
Well helloooooo there, July 1st
& thank you for the wallop of a head’s up.
Yes, YES ! I am very much aware, YOU are the halfway point, so please,
don’t flaunt.
One. Half.
eek.
So.
As a reminder to me,
a rerun for you, my friends …
Enjoy.
Last year, I called them promises.
Promises, not resolutions.
YaY, promises.
That’ll work.
That will get it done
& it did.
For a little while, at least.
For a good part of 2025, actually.
I held on tight to those New Year commitments, I did.
Until …
oh, I don’t know …
until I didn’t.
baaaa.
I found my 2025 Top 10 yesterday.
Ten determined declarations,
a list filled with high hopes, BIG dreams.
I solemnly swear.
I cross my heart.
uh-huh.
Without going into the tidy details of it all, let’s just say I broke even.
50 / 50
I was great at some pledges and not, at others.
Not bad.
Not good.
I ended up right smack dab in the middle
& quite frankly, I’m not at all surprised or disheartened.
Because it’s me.
It’s what I do.
Sometimes I eat WAY too much
& sometimes I calculate every crumb that enters my body.
Some days I feel as if I’m in control and I’ve SO, sooooo got this !!
& others ?
errr
Nope.
Most days I have a plan, a MUST DO, a TODAY !! I’ll do it TODAY
& almost all days, I’m sidetracked.
Bottom line ??
within all the do and don’t and get to and maybes and this and that’s and ups and downs
and
and and and and …
2025
Yeah.
That was a pretty pleasant year.
Because with every 365, comes stuff.
Exceptional
Crummy
Wonderful
Ugly
Amazing
Awful
I’m just happy to be here, STUFF.
It’s LIFE.
It’s !! Life !!
& I sure am fond of this loveliness called Life.
So.
This year.
This year, I’m going to continue doing what I do.
I’m going to overeat and eat healthy, be in control and have absolutely no clue, get ‘er done, forever zig-zag
& in the process of it all, I will enjoy each and every single moment.
2025 taught many lessons, most importantly, it reminded of just how precious THIS is
& how incredibly short our time here can be.
My 2026 vow ?
I’m keeping it simple.
All I want, is to be more.
More open
and honest
and kind
and helpful.
Say the words.
Do nice deeds.
Share the love
& try to be the best human being I know how to be … !
YeP.
That’s my plan.
♥
I promise.
