The mundane. The useless. The everyday.
In perspective, I have decided that I do have another purpose to ME. I am NOT just a mom and "wife". I have something to say.
Making lists is one of my favorite things to do. I make lists for what I need to do today, grocery lists, Christmas lists. Time to make the "To Do" list of my life.
Literally.
Things that I want to do whethor I think them feasible or not. Like visit cathedrals. Going to Paris. Learning how to play the drums. Learning Spanish. Reading Pride and Prejudice from beginning to end, (wow, what a big book!)and owning a 1973 Ford Mustang Fastback...or "Eleanor".
Most of all, learning how to write. I love words. Most of all I like the effect they have on people. The snowball effect I call it. I say ONE word and it can provoke anger, tears, happiness. I am going to practice paying more attention to what I say, when and to whom I say it. My personal feelings tend to motivate my mouth to open without thought to what I'm saying. It is part of my personality so I have no doubt it will be hard. But, even if I can accomplish a little bit of it everyday, I will finally see how my words have affected my life to this point.
Cheers :)
