Just…….Do It!
Today, not more than a few hours ago, I felt a surge of what I can only describe as a positive feeling. I know exactly where I was as the feeling spread… at the set of stop lights just outside the office complex where I work at 7:54 this morning. There is a wooded area to the left, sadly, soon to be developed into another office complex, and a golf course to the right. I was noticing the reddish haze of buds on the trees. The sun was shining, the light was in my favour, and I suddenly thought, “I can do this”.
I know exactly what to do. I always do. I always have. D’you know, I’ve been telling my girls for years that I’m a genius! “Your mother is a genius!” It’s an old joke. They always laugh…..somewhat nervously.
I’m exercising regularly these days, which is a real miracle. I’m eating fairly healthily. I’m trying to face that fear of mine - but that’s going slowly. As far as my fear of money goes, I’ve come to realise that I can only do one thing at a time. Yes, I have allowed myself to be a big bloody baby. Essentially, though, I am fully equipped with the smarts, the ability, the facts and the figures to live life to the fullest. Time to Pull Finger and just do it. Just Do It. (Hope Nike didn’t patent that phrase).
So, starting today, I’m doing it.
Will let you know how this goes.
I’ve had a couple of those epiphanic(?) feelings myself from time to time. I remember one, in particular, when I was out jogging around the park just following my divorce from husband #1 - I suddenly felt powerful and capable of anything…hummed “I am woman, hear me roar…” for the whole remainder of my jog. We should really have these feelngs more often, because we really CAN do it, you know. All we have to do is make up our minds…
How’s it goin’ hon?
I love moments like that when during a sea of tumultuous crap (my life thank you) you suddenly feel a ray of sun against your cheek that says - you’re gonna be alright hon.
You’re right tho ms. rj - chew it up in manageable pieces.
Love ya!

Hang on to that feeling and pull it out when you need it, because that feeling comes from deep inside. So much about modern life seems designed to force us to doubt ourselves and tie ourselves up in knots. That’s the external crap that just lands on us - that feeling of ownership and rightness is a true original feeling.
Yes. Yes you can. You can do it. It’s such a great feeling when you know in your heart that you can.
so glad to hear that you seem to have found the groove of ENJOYING the exercise, adjusting to the diet, and resigning yourself to the life…
Keep up the great attitude!
Howdy Ms. RJ -
How are you doin’? Miss ya hon!
