I Forgot I Was Doing This Already

If not now, then when?

Oops. 

I wrote the following post for a brand new blog called Making Cool Stuff Happen. Then, I realized I had already done it here. Aging is not without its challenges and embarrassments. I'm kind of bummed, because I realized that this "new" idea (of blog-induced change) is not a miracle pill. But, maybe if I actually stick to it I'll make progress. 

In a nutshell, my priorities are:

- lose 80 - 100 pounds

- figure out how to get physically strong without hurting myself (I swear every single person should go to a Physical Therapist. They know things that it is criminal for everyone not to know!)

- have more impact with my work

- lose these feelings of inadequacy 

....you know, basic stuff.

AND, post stuff that I think is really cool that I want to share.

Today's post before I realized I had been here before: 

Making Cool Stuff Happen – Day One

August 12, 2018  Sunday  1:46PM

Did you ever think that you could really do something cool with your life? Do you want to? I sure did…do. But, at 63 years of age I wonder if it is too late. 

This blog is just about one woman trying to break life-long patterns and habits and then saving the world. OK, maybe just having a good life and doing some good would be enough, although this world sure does need saving. 

For years I have wanted to do something like this blog, but either I can’t think of a URL that isn’t taken, or I can’t think of a “hook” to make it interesting, or (most often) I forget and go on to the next thing. Really good excuses, right? 

Today, I’m just starting. I’ll use a URL that I already own. I have no hook or plan. I just want to write. I have some health issues that left alone will probably have me used as tree fertilizer in 10 years. And, I want to be around for some great grandchildren so I really, really want 30 more years. But, I don’t want 30 more years of how I feel physically today. 

So, I guess you could say that this is a shut the f#$% up and do something about it blog. Written by me for me… to hold myself accountable. To quit living in potential and prune it down to actions I can accomplish. Note that there will be ramblings, bad grammar, and awful punctuation. I blame Twitter.
