Coming Into The Closet!!!

2013 has been a good year, let’s hope 2014 is the same!! This year I am going to try to satisfy an urge, and knock a resolution out all with one stone. For the next 365 days I am going to take an hour out of my day to write......This may seem small to some, but for me, this is huge!!

I am what I consider myself to be a selfless person, and when I say selfless I mean I give my all to others and nothing to myself....EVER!!! For example, since having children I have managed to cut my bath time down to 13 minutes (shaved, shampooed and towel dried.) Being a selfless person means that one will acquire a whole slew of people who expect you to be at their beck and call 24/7; This is something else I plan on working on next year....ME TIME!!

Once the idea was put into my head I thought about how impossible it is going to be to write. Then I started thinking about how great an hour a day would be....an hour to simply put my thoughts into words to everyone or no one...who cares...I will be getting things out of my head and off my heart and have a WHOLE hour to myself. YEA ME!!!

I have already overcome a bump in this road...privacy. My whole house is consumed by my children. I have one who sleeps with me in MY room, all three think MY bathroom is theirs to use at any time they please (There have been up to 6 people in my bathroom while I have been bathing.) All of the televisions are hooked up to game consoles, and my office is wide open to the whole house as sort of an open invite for senseless chatter and word for word replays of every fucking argument they ever have! So needless to say I needed a place to be ALONE, a place to call mine...and then it came to me......I started quickly, reorganizing, moving shoes, boots, shit like my high school 4h jacket(Why do I still have that SOB?), and moving most of my clothes to the other side of the closet …. VOILA..... the left side of my closet is now MY writing nook!!
So, for the next 365 days I will take a simple hour of my time and write......It may be about something profound, something mundane, or something that I should have kept to myself, but alas I will write about it.
