I blogged this about a month ago and then I thought it got erased by my precious, but devious, two year old. Good news...I found it. It was saved in the "edit posts" section of my blog, which I hate to admit because it exposes my technical stupidity! It's a little dated already but for the sake of celebrating it's retrieval, I'm posting it! I was sitting here thinking about all my 2010 new years resolutions that I've set for myself (and already broken) and I decided that what I need is some accountability...and possibly a nanny. Then I remembered an email my artist friend Carol recently sent me about making sure to acknowledge all that you have accomplished in the last year. It may not have been the resolutions you had set for yourself (or it may have- if so, keep it to yourself! I mean, good for you!) but I bet we've all done some great things somewhere in the 365 days that structured 2009. It might be better for us to start there and pat ourselves on the back before we go on micro managing and restructuring our lives to accomplish a whole new set of goals for this coming year. I've titled my blog, "The details that matter..." for a reason. What was it...oh, give me a second...oh yes! Life isn't always about the big things, it can be a compilation of all sorts of little things- ie, the details. Sometimes not, but sometimes so. Some details we need to savor and treasure. Those would be the ones I am hoping to collect on this blog. Some, we need to dismiss so we can keep on keepin' on. All the rest, the stuff that we call the daily grind, well, here is my advice on that:
- Don't let the man get you down.
- Live and learn.
- Just do it.
- Make it work.
- Carpe diem.
- Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out.
- Go, fight, win!
