Ok with the end of the year fast approaching there are so many things just zooming through my brain like an out of control roller coaster. So I am putting it down in cyber space. I really think that before the new year arrives (in about 7 and a half hours) that I want this out of my brain. So here we go.
The thing is....
I don't like to make New Year's resolutions because 1. I really don't stick to them and then I pressure myself to stick to them and then when reality hits and they aren't stuck to I feel horrible. So I'm not making resolutions. I'm making restitutions! For those of us who don't know the definition I consulted with Miriam on this one....Restitution: 1: an act of restoring or a condition of being restored: as a: a restoration of something to its rightful owner b: a making good of or giving an equivalent for some injury. I am making a restitution to myself! I am restoring to myself, myself! Confused? Good, so am I! I have spent the last year in such a whirlwind of family progression and school progression and career progression etc I need Stefanie progression! I have accumulated a nice winter coat (by way of chocolate chip cookies and diet coke!) and I don't care for it. I neglected my soul because of everything else I 'had to do' and I am restoring to myself the type of person I want to leave this earth being. Now is the time more than ever with everything that is going on in the world to really restore me! I let too many 'shoulds' and 'have to's' into my life and I want to change that. There is sooo much I have on my list. It will take one step at a time but in the end, when it comes my time to look back on my journey, I can look back with a smile!
That is my restitution for 2009!!
What's are you going to restore to yourself that has been left in the dust of such a busy life??
