Let Go

Hello, A, from the queen of em dashes and ellipses. Hello?!?! I'm not sure I am capable of writing a paragraph without a phrase set off in em dashes. I guess that's my self esteem work coming out on the page. What I have to say is important--more so than a parenthetic expression would suggest. lol

Okay, do you honestly think you're the only person who isn't motivated at the beginning of the year? Yeah, I want to be a better person and get out of debt, but that's an on-going thing. I don't even bother to resolve to lose weight anymore (and can't afford cheese sticks! lol). Lighten up, stop being so hard on yourself for not becoming Molly Motivated overnight. Let go of thinking you should feel like you had an emotional enema when the ball dropped and are now free and clear and ready to tackle the world. If your chi is off, work on your energy. If your feng shui is off, work on your physical space. But f**k thinking you should be the adult version of Tracy Flick (Reese Witherspoon) in Election. Sh*t. There ain't enough Prozac on the planet for that.

Clearly, I am the Anti-Resolution. But as I sit here in pajamas at 6:30--having just finished a salad (greens, Gorgonzola, craisins, pears, balsamic vinaigrette) and a burger, drinking red wine and watching the news, so I can better gauge if I'm getting a snow day tomorrow--it occurs to me I may not be the best person to give you advice.

Cross your fingers for a snow day for me tomorrow and I'll be available all day for a call. I'll email you in the morning if I'm going to be home.

Have a good night!

Love,
Barb

PS Your yard looks beautiful!
