Most people I've talked with agree that 2009 has been a pretty crappy year. I agree. While my misfortune has not been of the financial sort, those of you who know me very well know that the Angells have had a number of setbacks this year. When the ball drops tonight I will be gladly bidding good riddance to one of the worst years of my life. (It's at least in my top two.)
But, this year I'm not just saying goodbye to my crappy year. I'm also choosing to let it all go. I'm taking a crisp white sheet of paper and writing down all of the things burdening my heart. Then I'm going to take a match to that sucker and send it up in smoke.
Sure last year stunk it up. Can I change it? Nope! So, what can I do? I can change today, tomorrow and every day after that. I know that my initial post said that my One Year to Lose One Hundred Pounds would start on the 11th. Pardon my language here.... but screw that. I'm ready to go now. It's on like donkey kong. I don't need to wait. I've spent this past week getting my mind right and it's ready to go. I don't have to have my pantry cleaned out and restocked or my exercise room cleaned up to get started. It's part of the process, not contigent upon beginning the process.
Tonight I leave my past behind. Tomorrow, is the first day of the rest of my life. What will you do with the first day of the rest of your life? I want to know.
Happy New Year!
Margaret
