i've focused on this word for over THIRTY days (so far) and have realized things i'm not entirely proud of. for one, i complicate the crap out of all sorts of things on a continual basis. i've also become aware of my desensitized view to chaos. for now i'm just noticing/becoming aware... taking things slow helps the anxiety i get when it comes to change. my daily mantra continues to be "relax breathe surrender." finding success not so much on completion of a task but the day to day findings along the journey. for now, this is enough.
i say out loud to myself in the mirror "uncomplicated". i roll my eyes at my reflection and walk away usually shaking my head. here is the deal, i am testing the theory of the power of suggestion on myself. i do this with other people on a regular basis so i figured i would try it on me and see what happens lol. my humble attempts to changing my mind ;)
i started a 365 project of ME. i have been keeping this simple. mostly using my iphone. and writing daily in my journal. spending little time on this daily project in the spirit of uncomplicated. i am wanting to embrace the growing older thing, the whole reason really for this project. to capture a year as it happens. i haven't colored my hair since last august. its interesting because people say to me "your too young to be grey" and i just smile (my first grey hair was yanked out of my head at age 23 by my older sister). i think i'm just the right age to be grey, since its real and its happening. my boys are on either side of the fence with this subject. i have one son who wants nothing more than for me to buy a box of color and cover it up. my other son tells me he thinks its cool i'm not coloring anymore. i appreciate their input but my decision on this subject has nothing to do with anyone really, but me.
