distraction un-resolution...

it's been far too long since i've been here...so easily distracted am i...rocks to climb, classes to teach, food, kisses, and job have all come between my little blogwog and me. i could say i'm making a resolution to change that, but it might be a lie, so we'll just see how it goes.

i stopped making resolutions and self-promises a while back. somewhere along the journey i decided that i either accomplish it or i don't. if i don't, then it wasn't that important to me. i lived years of my life with a list of unfinished tasks that i would carry forward and add to, setting myself up for the "failure" of undone-ness. i always thought of myself as a quitter, as someone totally lacking the ability to follow through with an idea, without the means to completion.

expectation is a stagnant force. it stalls learning, inhibits action. i expected to accomplish all these things...but how? by writing them down on a list and promising myself i would get to them?

do the things you love, and you will love the things you do. there will always be more...but wanting more is the same as expecting more, and when we expect more, we act less. do the things you love, and you will love the things you do. no resolutions, no self-promises, no lists.
