When I decide to do something and really commit myself to it, there's not much that can stop me. I've had lots of crazy ideas in my life and big dreams and while some of them have reached fruition, many have not. That's something I'm working very hard to change in my life. The only one who can really stop me from succeeding is myself. My friends encourage me while the realities of life try to hold me back and it is entirely up to me and within my power to focus only on the positive energy and filter out all the negative noise. Sometimes life drags me down a bit but I continue to rise above it and move on. The wonderful thing about having friends who listen to my rambling is that even if they don't always respond to what I say, I feel better having expressed myself. I do also sometimes regret sharing my feelings in the "heat of the moment" because when that heat fades, I look back and wish I'd just taken a deep breath, noted of my emotions, and realized that it was just a passing issue. I suppose that's how we all learn though. If none of us made mistakes then life would be very boring and I simply don't do boring. I often tell my dear friend that I'm never dull and I make life interesting. For him I might make life too interesting sometimes but he continues to roll with it. After he sent me pictures of the little indoor nurseries he had going, I decided I was finally going to overcome my brown thumb and plant a garden this spring, but I didn't just start with a few plants. I purchased 10 seed packets of various flowers and my girls and I planted them in dishes indoors until they sprouted and the weather warmed up. Did I save those seed packets so I'd know what I planted? Nope. Did I plant the seeds in neat little rows? Nope. I dumped them in the soil and mixed them around like a cake mix. If I was going to garden, I was going to go overboard and plants tons of things in the hope that something would eventually bloom. To my total amazement, the seeds sprouted and as soon as I'd dug up my plot outside and spring finally arrived, the little seedlings went into the ground. There have been more than a few hiccups along the way, and my friend saying more than once "just keep at it" but there are finally things resembling flowers growing in my garden! It's a bit of a disorganized arrangement of mystery elements...just like me. I have tons of big ideas and when I get my momentum really going, I kind of steamroll my way through. I truly am a wild force to be reckoned with and as I unleash more of my artistic creativity, my energy will only grow stronger, and perhaps a little crazier. I have so many big dreams and goals for my future now and so much that I want to do and I genuinely believe I am on the precipice of great things! I don't usually take the traditional route to achieve what I want but I get there eventually. The best journeys are often the most exciting and unpredictable ones.
