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.
