My Shame

To my great charin, I never seem to finish what I start.  My home is filled with half-done projects.

     I bought new railing for my front porch.  Still in the garage 2 1/2 years later.
     Tore out door carpeting off front porch with intentions of painting it.  Oops it needed to be resurfaced. 
           I bought the resurfacing concrete but never resurfaced the porch.
     Started a scrapbook for Dad of our family Alaskan Cruise 2 years ago.
     Painted the wood work of one window in bedroom.  Never touched the others.
     Dug a hole in backyard for a fish pond.  Just a hole, nothing else.
     Writing a book about Art Journaling.  No farther now than I was a year ago.
     Made craft room and exercise room in basement, OK, just a craft room exercise room incomplete.

This is just a partial list.  Remember, I am the girl with the scathingly brilliant ideas.  The ideas just keep on coming but the motivation to complete the ideas just isn't there.  I quickly lose interest and look for another scathingly brilliant idea.

This leads me to my next resolution.

This work in progress is going to get organized so that I can start completing projects.

Pudd "N" Head Wilson said "Habit is habit and not to be flung out of the window by any man, but coaxed downstairs a step at a time." (Mark Twain)  That being said, I know this is not going to be easy for me.  I have spent my whole life bouncing from one uncompleted project to the next.

The time has come to put a stop to this endless, mindless, unproductive behavior.

Just say NO.
