Dear 2013,
I will walk outside during my lunch break just to feel the sun on my face and quiet my mind.
I will slow down and listen better when someone is talking.
I will be the best Mother, Sister, Daughter and Friend that I can be. If I say something stupid or hurt anyones feelings I promise I will say I am sorry. I know my way isn't the right way, it's only the right way for me so i'll keep my heart and mind open to how everyone else takes care of business.
I will nourish my body with healthy, organic and local food whenever I can. And when I can't, I will accept the fact that I just ate a whole bag of potato chips and french onion dip with as little self loathing as possible and will continue to pray for a cure for the insatiable junk food hunger that comes with my period. Menopause can not be too far away and I'm pretty sure I would rather have a potato chip hangover than rogue facial hair and hot flashes.
I will try to not be intimidated to be in a stall alone with a horse.
I will always remember that 2 vodka martini's are my limit. Any more than that requires a babysitter. I am too old for a babysitter and unexplained bruising.
I will try to remember how crappy eating sugar makes me feel before I eat it.
I will stop trying on jeans and accept the fact that I don't like how they feel or how they make my butt look. I am a skirt person.
I will write when I feel inspired and hopefully will feel inspired everyday. If not, it's ok. Seriously.
I will rename this blog. And myself.
I will try not to revisit things I say good bye to. There is a very good chance that once in a while I am going to have a cup of coffee even tho I parted ways with my dark roasted love in 2012. I know I will hold the cup with both hands and deeply inhale the aroma while I close my eyes and take a sip. And then, in a half hour when my heart starts pounding and my cheeks are flushed I will try not panic, contemplate going to the emergency room or consider the purchase of a defibrillator to carry around in my oversized purse. I will remember remember why we parted ways. We aren't good for each other any more.
