I didn't even remember that I started this blog until I was
looking for a new place to put words to paper. (Paper here meaning computer
paper.)
I'm not starting 2015 with a resolution to keep a blog. This
has never worked for me in the past, talking about my feelings or my life is
not my first instinct. I did, however, resolve to write at least 500 words a
day. No restrictions, lengthy emails even count toward this word count
resolution. Today I choose the blog.
I had high hopes for 2015 but no super concrete resolutions.
I figured today was the day for making those. There were even plans to check
out my once favorite coffee shop and do some writing. The best laid plans. It
took just a few moments upon waking to realizing that today was not going to go
as planned.
One crippling migraine later and my entire first day of 2015
is gone. Productive plans traded in for dark rooms, sleep and pain medication.
Woo.
Anyway, I do have high hopes for 2015. I spent a lot of time
in 2014 crying about things that were out of my control. My sister. My family. I
thought that was going to be a list but that’s pretty much everything.
I don’t know what that looks like. A happier year. Full of
things I’m proud of. I just know that I’m going to try. On the flip side I’m
not going to kick myself for what I don’t accomplish.
With that, I’m going to be half with half my 500 words and
go to bed. We’ll see what another day holds.
