My Mantra

Is It Over Yet?
It IS February after all... 


For weeks I have felt bombarded with advice on what to do, how to do it, when to start, where to go and why I should. The suggestions came from doctors, lawyers, experts, trainers, designers, counselors, bloggers, professionals and not so professional "whatevers."

These recommendations were going to make me 
thinner, healthier, smarter, richer and of course happier!

It was simple...
all I had to do was make a new year's resolution.
I resisted. 

Actually I've resisted for many years. Resolutions are great...just not great for me. An optimistic gesture for sure, but with an 80% fail rate I AM NOT ALONE.

This year I decided to have a mantra. A word or phrase that would embrace a new mindset. Something that could carry over to a variety of aspects in my life in a positive way. Something to inspire and motivate -- not deflate.

I went for a walk and evaluated my year behind and
contemplated the days ahead...


That's It... 

Climb!

Check back soon and I will tell you why in a future post!

    1. Hi Mary! Thanks for reading my blog. As a matter fact Kitty, Gene and I are going to "climb" a tough trail tomorrow. But as you said with the mantra 'climb' there are many possibilities and that's exactly why I chose it. I say it to myself many times during the day. Best to you, Your old hippie babysitter :)
