You’ve set your intentions, chosen your One Word, or made your resolutions. Then it’s 11 days into 2014 and those intentions are kaput…or you may have already ditched your resolutions or started to feel a little down because you didn’t go to the gym every.single.day at least 3 days a week, like you promised yourself you would for 2014.
Maybe you bit off more than you can chew, maybe you’re just lazy? Some of us are waiting on Monday to start, because you cannot start a gym program on a Saturday obviously. Or maybe you’re waiting for the beginning of February, because who can start that project on the 11th of the month right? Might as well enjoy the old habits for a little while longer.
Like Rara said here, “Everyone wants to start with a bang! They want to see results in moments, or they wait to start until they’re at the starting place.”
Guess what…the starting place is right now. You can begin today, right now, right where you are, just as you are.
So my lovelies, will you start again? Or for the first time?
Right where you are today?
No fireworks…bangs, crackles or pops?

Yup! It’s that simple.
I started blogging for the first time on the second day of NaBloPoMo. The challenge started I thought, “I can’t start on the second day! Obviously. Who does that?”
I did it anyway. Doesn’t matter WHEN you start, it’s that you DID start!
Great post today and very timely in the Resolution Era! 🙂

I totally agree Vikki, all that matters is that you started. And you handled NaBloPoMo like a pro! 😀
Why thank you! 😉 You were my inspiration!
Author
Thing is I attempted NaBloPoMo in August of last year but I never completed it. December, which was probably one of the hardest months to stick with it…with all it’s distractions was a true test. I’m actually very proud of myself for completing it and I’m glad that it inspired you to go for it as well.
I think we’ve both grown through that challenge!
Good for you! Not a bang, but a whisper!
This sounds interesting.

it is isn’t it 😀
What a lovely post! Thank you so much for thinking of me and turning my little thought into something of substance. You have a gift, Vernette. 🙂

Thank YOU Rara 😀 Sometimes the simplest things are the most profound and that what you thought was for me!.
Love this BBQ post, Vernette. We could make a whole series using only Rara. She is a gift. Love the quote. Yes, we just need to begin no matter what it looks like. This hit me right in the heart because today I started jogging around my son’s school yard and it wasn’t glamorous or pretty. 🙂
