OYM Day 59: 2020 2.0
Because I just listened to Donald Trump ramble on and on about complete and utter bullshit, I’ve decided to restart the year. It’s not a revelation that this year has been a complete shit show, so why not approach the year like I do any given evening? Tomorrow is a chance to start new.
My goals for 2020 2.0 are as follows:
Keep writing and sharing my work (duh!)
Stop ripping my cuticles off
Use more than hand soap as my daily skincare routine
Don’t fall asleep in my clothes and put on pajamas
Stretch more
Listen to new music and stop wallowing in the classics of decades before I was born
Get Vivian to say “I love you”…telling her 1,000 times a day in hopes she repeats it back to me doesn’t seem to be working
Make a physical photo album
Lose 20 lbs
Be in more pictures after losing said 20 lbs
Say thank you after receiving a compliment instead of berating myself
Make my husband proud to be my husband
Tell more people how talented and lovely they are, instead of just thinking it
Volunteer for a campaign #fuckdonaldtrump
Relax
Forgive myself for friendships lost
Ask for help
Adopt a dog
Make OYM & Trust Me Merch
Keep believing in myself
Create a path of my own, even if it’s bumpy
Do more cartwheels
Stick up for myself and other people when repeat offenders overstep their bounds
Talk out loud to who I think God is
Cradle my daughter in my arms while she still fits in them
Tell Daniel I am proud of him more. And not for how hard he works but for how deep and wide he can stretch to love all the sides of me and how he trusted in the strength of our relationship enough to go blindly into parenthood like we did. I hope our life is either the life he’s always dreamed of or he earns enough karma points to get reincarnated as Michael Jordan or Bill Gates. Maybe both.
Call Grandma more.
Vote that idiot out in November
