I'm ready. I guess
I've been ready for a few months now. Sometimes you
have to talk yourself into something--convince your
mind that it really is ready, too. I know that the timing
is right. The stars are aligned. The sun is smiling
like the proverbial Cheshire cat. So I did it. I cut
my hair.
I know what you're
thinking. "Well, good for you. You cut your hair.
But I ain't cutting mine. I'm trying to grow it out."
I'm growing out,
too. More than just hair, I'm changing everything.
I am finally going to
lose 50 pounds. Yeah, I've thought about it before, even seriously.
Now, it's no challenge. It's not hard. I am not tempted. I
don't want to snack. I'm ready to change.
My mind has been renewed.
I'm trying to figure it out myself. Why are things so different
now? Why is NOW the time, not last year? I surely wanted to
be slimmer sooner. I have come to the conclusion that there
is a season for everything. Just because I love the Spring-turning-into-Summer
time of year, now is the season of Fall. That's just the way
it is.
Now, it is my season.
It's time for me to grow
physically, spiritually, mentally, in my marriage, as a mother--in
all ways. I am excited about this change because it's not
one small thing. It's like the make-over shows where they
move everything out and start new. New paint, new furniture,
new floors, new window treatments, new light fixtures, new
artwork--new, new, NEW! It wouldn't be the same if they just
put a new couch in the same old room. I won't just have a
new outfit for the same old body. IT'S ALL NEW!
It's going to take some
time--alas! Just like the make-over shows where it takes a
crew helping a family for two or three days to complete a
transformation. It will take me some time--since I don't have
a Home Depot crew--to complete this transformation.
I have no doubt that
this time, this season, it will happen. I'm ready.
