Long work day today…but I did it, you guys. I did it. I got done exactly what I wanted and needed to get done thank LAWD.
It’s been a long while since I was able to make a writing-type goal for myself, even in just the span of a day, and hit that goal. A reeeaalllyyy long time. At least it feels like it. And no, it wasn’t words today…but it was the same kind of resolve I know I need to have with my writing.
I have lacked that resolve. I don’t know exactly how or why I lost it—I have ideas, namely pressure and fear—but I did. So, maybe this is a step towards re-capturing that resolve. I also must say that having the last week+ to recover from working so hard to start this year (and end last year!) really helped, too. I have energy reserves I didn’t have a couple weeks ago.
This is all a very hand-wringing way to say: I did my shit today like a boss. It took me a little longer than I expected…but goddamnit if there wasn’t time left in the day after I finished what I’d assigned myself to sit down and spend some quality time with Liz and the pups.
A good day. A fitting end to a great week.
I tell you…I am doing things this year that I’ve, frankly, been scared to do. But, I’m doing them. And it is scary and uncomfortable and I can’t sit here and tell you that I feel like I’m in a groove…but I guess that’s the whole point of finally deciding to do new things. It gets me out of a RUT.
There are opportunities out there. I’m glad I’m taking advantage of some of them.
Night.
