lists....

I want to announce that Today ~ Friday! is throw out your lists day!

I'm a huge list person, I think I get this from my family because through out my life there was always the list of somethings on the counter. In my head there is always a list of what to do before, what to do when, what to do, what to do...well I say enough!

No more lists of To do's
or what we must do to be perfect
or the things we must do to fit into that dress or those jeans
or a list of who we love and don't love
or a list of things we're thankful for
or a list of our flaws or what we love
or what we need to do before...
and all the disappointment when we don't do what's on the list...

For 1 day I say the hell with lists!

I want to TRUST myself enough to just do what I want to do and remember to just BE. Be who I am and then everything else will follow.

We aren't perfect. I hate to tell myself that or let you all in on the secret but we're not and we need to QUIT telling ourselves we have to be or that we are or whatever else our inner critics keep feeding us. Keeping those lists won't ever make us perfect and checking off all the "to do's" won't make us perfect either.

Let's just live today .....
