The List

It's a love/hate thing.  These lists that run through my head.  What's one more?  Here's my "Get a Life List"...that was on my list to get done. I could have been super anal and incredibly specific here, but then it would have felt like homework, and a really pathetic New Year's Resolutions Runoff that only sets you up for failure.  I'm going for the vague, sort of (broad and open for interpretation and tweeking lists).  Now I can check that off. 

In one of my previous posts I proclaimed that I would be creating an alternative to a (Bucket List) for myself, to help me keep my sanity during all the changes that are occurring in my life right now.  Nothing special, but here it is :-)

1. Laugh.  Try to find something that makes you chuckle, everyday.  Even when you're so pissed you could breathe fire, or so sad that you just need to bury your head under the covers.  Who cares what makes you laugh, even if it's highly inappropriate.  ;-)
This guy made me laugh my ass off this morning.



2. Create.  Who cares what it is, or what it involves.  Creativity is like coffee for your soul.  It just keeps you going sometimes.  If you stop and take the time to do something creative - whether it involves work or personal interest, it's good.  So that's good.  For today, this would be writing.  Later on today, I'll be baking (creating) brownies for a bake sale.  Bam.

3. Eat well, and live well.  So cliche, but let's face it - we are what we eat and what we do.  I'm not just eating well and living well for my baby, I'm doing it for me.  Everything in moderation.  You can have one brownie.  Let's just try not to eat half the pan...and don' forget to stretch and keep moving. Even if you're gassy. Who would have thought a search for pictures of yoga poses would yield something so cute as below!  That's another laugh right there.  ;-)

4. Relax.  Reading and watching movies.  As much as possible.  Awesome.  Especially since I really have to make the time for stuff like this, but I feel that it's definitely an obtainable goal! Finishing up the series right now.  Long overdue, and it's about time I took the time. 

5. Get out.  Sometimes I honestly do not feel like doing this or doing that.  I've been guilty of avoiding a lot of events and gatherings these past few months. Oh, I could give you a plethera of reasons why, and most of them are valid and almost not too selfish.  Even though it's good to say no every now and then, or just stay in - it doesn't hurt to crawl out from under the rock from time to time either. 

 
So here there you have it.
1. Laugh
2. Create
3. Eat and Move
4. Relax
5. Get out of the house. Sometimes.

CHECK.
