Every day, I follow a budget. The rules. Put the things I’d like to do aside…just for a minute, an hour, a few days…a few years. So, sometimes I dig my heels in – in little ways:
I stop and sit down for an hour, to watch some mindless tv.
Crochet.
Or read a few pages in a book. Sometimes, its even a mind-candy book (God bless you Eric Northman).
When, on the rare occasion, I find myself alone in the house…I ignore the moving pile of laundry (I swear, it has a life of its own) and take a nap.
Sometimes, I even spend a bit of money on myself, to do something that is just for me.
Something that is mine alone to enjoy – and to savor the novel experience of doing something, I never imagined my self doing.
I’m not fast.
I don’t care about PRs.
Its simply amazing to get from the start to the finish.
Why don’t you tri?
I tri for me!
And my mantra is, I may not be first, I may not be fast, but I will always finish, and finishing is winning.
