I thought when I got this calendar that I would keep every day that I tore off. I thought I would really study and maybe learn a few phrases of French. Yeah… that lasted about a month before I just tossed them as I tore them. But occasionally I come across a phrase that makes me laugh or just smile. These are the ones I save and tape up in random places around the lab.
For some reason, Sunday’s phrase really struck a cord. I’ve been thinking about my Life List lately. It kind of seemed like writing the list gave me a license to procrastinate. I haven’t really done anything. We started the garden, but until I harvest and eat something from it I can’t justify crossing it off. I’ve tasted new wines and teas, but haven’t kept track of any of them. I let myself get stuck. Is it because I don’t believe in myself? I don’t believe I have it in me to accomplish anything? Well, that’s just silly.
I do believe in myself. I just needed a little reminder. And maybe some of you need that reminder too. Believe in yourself. You are beautiful and amazing.
Happy Love Thursday.
Thank you.
So, when you say “try 100 new …” do you really mean exactly 100 or is it your attempt at trying new–and lots of it? I’m not sure the number matters as much as living life to its fullest. And what is the Life List if not your invitation, hell, mandate to live. 100 teas, wines, recipes are great, but living and believing is greater.
Robin, the 100 things are just to try new things. Something I do, but haven’t ever kept track of. And believing is greater.
