Day 7: Milestone Day

 

Okay so here's the deal.

 

I had been on vacation for almost 2 months, and came back to running around, taking care of life (as in: Back to School - The horror movie, and all the rest) before picking up where I left off a month after my return - Day 4. Embarassed While I was away, I made all my lists which were kind of like New Year's Resolutions. I hate those things but I now realise it is how we North Americans justify our common knowledge of advancements in science (cigarettes kill/fat leads to diabetes/etc.) vs. our creative and expensive ways we tend to find to hurt ourselves (smoking, not exercising, fast food, whatever) as compared to the rest of the world. We know we can't keep those false promises to ourselves. (Ask a South African miner if he's made a resolution and he'll probably tell you he doesn't have the time/luxury to come up with such crap while he's a**-deep in coal!!) Sorry for preaching, I digress. Embarassed

 

Anyhoo, today is my Day 7, and the message was all about rewarding oneself for a job well done: accomplishing 7 days using Tools. At first I was thinking to myself, what a freakin' crock! I've only done 3 successive days. How can I reward myself for that? But then, a light bulb came on! I am here! Doesn't matter where I was before, or how long it took, but I came back and I'm here. No fanfare, no drum-roll. Just a silent knowing. I'm not doomed to repeat the past if I choose to do better. I can achieve my dreams if I look forward and use the past as a blue-print: What Not to Do (more reality TV). Was this my inner voice calming the storm as per Day 5? Hey, whatever.

 

So I'm over the melodramatic melancholy. I'm not a whiner, but I have my moments of self-doubt, and angst. I wouldn't say today was a blue ribbon day, but I will say I'm in it to win it.

 

AND...

 

YAAAAAAAAYYYY!!! Day 7 Milestone!!! Sealed
