Day #4 of 21
July 30, 2008
As this project rolls along I am reminded how little goals can be the foundation for bigger goals. I like to write my goals down in long, detailed lists. Since I am a confirmed dreamer, I am an expert at listing things to do and then when I do nothing on the list (which is my typical MO), I re-list them in a different order for the next week.
An example of this is my 2008 New Years Resolution list… I thought through all the things I wanted to do, and this time with great urgency. I will lose weight, reduce my debt and publish my writing. And this time I swore it would be different! Until I went into my filing cabinet to see what I had written for 2007 and 2006. Yep, the exact same things. No doubt I was high on some very good herb and a bottle of wine. All three years.
So here we are, day #4 of 21… and still staying the course. I kept my list very short for today. Don’t drink, smoke a joint, or ingest any other form of illegal recreation. So far, so good.
One benefit I thought of today is how much money I am saving. By now, I am certain two bottles of wine would have been sacrificed. Savings: $20. OK, so I buy cheap wine.
