I have been missing in action – not that it’s noticeable when I have really only shared my blog with 7 people at most up to this point.  In November my employment status changed dramatically.  I followed a career field that I had zero knowledge in, though had basically dropped down from the heavens.  It was a clear and instant solution to the necessity to work and though I really love the change, it has slurped up any remaining moments of “me time”.  I am very grateful for this job opportunity, I am equally grateful for the hectic pace and exhausting end to each day.  To be honest, I didn’t generally spend my “me time” all that wisely.  I would waste it away and be regretful later, promising myself to stay true to my tasks at the next given moment allotted to ME.  Most girls have intricate, full minds with ooddles of wayward thoughts to decipher at excessive speed – it’s kind of a curse.  If you combined that general thinking pattern of the female brain with Dory the fish from Finding Nemo, you have an accurate picture of me!  So the lack of time has been a blessing except that I have not been able to dedicate a fair measure of energy to writing.  I write endlessly in my head while sitting in traffic, or in the shower where I really do my best thinking, but to sit down and type has been out of my reach.  However, 2015 is just days away so I am feeling the tug to not only blog but to post openly.  This is the big Oprah challenge that I mull over often:  “What would you do if you knew you wouldn’t fail?”  I have repeated this to myself numerous times, always knowing the answer without hesitation and yet, year after year through every resolution, I hold back.  I trip on my own fear, I allow myself excuses and doubt, I even fill my life so full that I can’t possibly get to that personal goal, but it stops as 2014 clicks away the final minutes!  New Year’s resolutions don’t have to be grand, they can be little – in fact I believe those are the best kind of resolutions.  Achievable that maybe only you, yourself, know if you accomplished or not.   2015 – Here I am!
