Begin Finishing

Commence: Conclude
Open: Shut
Enter: Exit
Start: Stop
Begin: Finish

I am a GREAT Idea Guy/Gal.
however
I don't tend to be the "follow through" kind of person.
I'm working on it though.
And I will say I have made great progress.
I made my usual list of tasks to complete today- and
I successfully crossed them ALL off.
Pretty darned exciting I must say.

My word for 2012 is "Finish" and, while I would have to admit I haven't progressed as far as I would have liked to- I have, at least, MADE progress. And that's a good thing.

New Beginnings

Quote for New Year's Day 2012:

"What we call the beginning is often the end. 
And to make an end is to make a beginning.
The end is where we start from."
T.S. Eliot


Probably the Single Biggest Change I made in 2011 was Learning to Let Go.

Let Go of Expectations and Allow things to happen- to Unfold- the way they were intended;
and to Stop trying to Force the Issue (whatever that issue might be)

Let Go of Worrying about what Other People Think- I've been doing that for....well, my whole life.

Let Go of Feelings I've been hanging onto; feelings that were so wrapped around my heart that
they had become this huge mess. It took awhile to Untangle them.

Letting Go was my Journey last year. Of course , I'd been on that Journey for years previous and will continue to be on it for awhile longer, maybe even my entire Life, but I do feel that I made Huge Progress this year. And I'm Happy about that.

So my New Beginning for 2012 is.... Learning to Finish-Complete- End. Kind of ironic:
to Begin Being (the person I want to be)  I need to Learn to End.

Until I figure out how to put photos and information on my sidebar- here's the poster I made for Classes in January
