Well, here I go . . . And I started off with the first lie to myself.

First, I have to tell myself that there is nothing negative about a lie -- sometimes we need them to get through the day.  I started this blog months ago (no need to state the exact date) and I had all the best of intentions -- so many great ideas to post.  I typically have great ideas in the shower, but by the time I get out and get dressed (a ritual that takes far too long), I have either forgotten the amazing thought, or simply found something else to do.


So I made a promise to myself the other night when I read a statement by Terry McMillan about how she's "Getting to Happy."  This inspired me and I promised myself I would write my first post the next day.  I even told 2 of my most spectacular friends I would make it happen before I went to bed.  Hmmmm . . . . okay, I didn't make it.  But I will not beat myself up about it and here I AM!!!


I don't have a lot of time this morning and my other promise to myself is to get back into the gym at least 5 days a week, so I'm dressed and ready and I have to get down there.  I am putting it out there that I will make every attempt to write daily.  No lies, just a promise with all the best of intentions to keep to myself.


I'm off to an exciting day -- Fresh Direct came this morning so I am ready to go.  I'm looking forward to a good one.
