Most of us have heard at one time or another " an object in motion stays in motion" and my mind would normally conjure up some type of weighted device continuing up and down once it was given a bit of a push from some unknown source. But now I'm trying to think of this theory in terms of myself and most people in the world for that matter. MS has a way of persuading some of us to stay more in the "not in motion phase" then the "motion phase" and for good reason. On my best day, I'm say "three or four days out from the flu" with other days ranging from my best case scenario to worst case scenario " the flu". Or, as those of us with MS or other chronic illnesses can attest...you can go from "four days out" to "one day out" all in the same day for good reason or no good reason. Now that we have established a small scale that I use to rate myself, maybe I should outline what my goal is for myself this blog and life for the next 365 days. My goal is acquire the habit of getting myself in motion on many different levels with the main goal being to finish this blog...you see I have a propensity to act like a bottle rocket on the fourth of July when it comes to ideas or projects. I shine "SOOO bright" in the beginning but than like a toddler surrounded by toys I wander off to the next big thing leaving a trail of unfinished ideas, projects, charts and grafts to be ground into a fine dust. Much later I will once again get hit by that same idea and reconstitute it into reality for a brief reunion. My seventeen year old daughter said that her manager of a local pizza place told her the key to happiness is " eat healthy, exercise and finish things". I guess I've never been happy! Seriously, I've been happy but I think to be able to harness ones creativity temporarily to create a finished product would be very satisfying indeed. I wouldn't know but "I've heard"! So, goal one; write every day! This should be interesting because although I enjoy writing and have had some success grade wise from it, I've never wrote unless made to write for school. I'm interested to see how this transpires through this next 365 days. If I do nothing I must finish this because I think it would really help me to feel like I could complete something I've set out to do over the long term. This is part of my plan to start myself in motion so I can stay in motion creatively, mentally and physically. So, after getting the idea and setting up the blog 14 days ago...I have officially set myself in motion! More tomorrow!
