Meet Me on the Flipside

 

Yes, yesterday I waxed philosophical about planning and goals and (implied) productivity.

And then, today I took a nap.

A long, unproductive, unapologetic nap.

That is the flipside to all the planning and scheming and structure-imposing.

Sometimes your body just needs a nap.

Things (yes, including photobombing seals) pop up, interrupt, change plans.

I contradict myself in thought and action.

I resolve to embrace that.

. . .

Also, when did I get so serious? Remember a couple of years ago when my goal for the year was to have more parties ?  I think academia has sucked the fun out of me.  I'm seriously considering just going back to those 2008 goals--those were some resolutions a gal could get behind. I want my silly groove back.

That makes me feel better. After posting about how judgy I get of people who don't get primped every day - I spend the day in my PJs reading a fabulous book. Here's to blowing off resolutions!!!!

How funny-this happened to me too. Monday I started exercising and stopped eating suger (during the week). This morning however, I was so tired, I got the kids on the school bus and went back to bed until 10. Sugar free makes me sleepy. Here's to doing our best and keeping a sense of humor!

I like the idea of getting your silly groove back, I think I'm going to make that my goal. I just want to have a lot of fun this year, life needs laughter.

Oh I need my silly groove back too!

Yes. I feel the one psychological change in myself as I approach 40 is a desire to put myself first a little more often. Starting with a nap tomorrow.

"get silly groove back" is going on the list.

I was just telling my sister-in-law about your resolution to throw more parties. Now THAT is living life to the fullest! Someone should start a silly groove blog.
