I've been blogging/journaling regularly on Livejournal since 2003, I have a ton of friends there and I love my communities and post often. Here though, I admit it's taken me weeks to get up the gumption to blog, prolly because I get it all out of my system on my LJ. Still, as a writer I need to write and use any opportunity I have to let myself flow. So flow I shall. Or something equally productive but less corny...
It's spring, for all intents and purposes. My tulips are poking their heads up after sleeping all winter and my thoughts are turning to everything I want to accomplish this spring and summer. Places I'll go, alone and with the family: Vermont, NYC, the local amusement parks and other destinations...rooms I plan to paint and flowers I'll be planting...I still don't know when I became so damn domestic but I've made my peace with it
My thoughts also turn to what I want life to bring this year, and over the next several years. I want to get truly serious about BellaRisa Entertainment. To take my husband to Italy. To achieve my Psy.D and become Dr. Bella, and help people with alternative relationships (finding a marriage counselor for a 3-way marriage can be difficult at best). The list of what I want to accomplish is so long...and yet all I really want to do on a given evening is lie down and watch the Daily Show with Mr. Bella, or curl up with Adam and talk about everything and nothing. Or bake something with my girls. My drive to succeed is so easily derailed by a chance to be lazy with my family it's a shame, and I know I'll do what I need to when I need to...oh look a butterfly...
Sometimes I'm amazed I get anything done. And then I look around and remember what I've done already, and the rest seems less distant. Or maybe I tell myself that so I can go watch Flight of the Concords with the husband instead of editing another clip...
