Today I keep thinking about the beginning of the year.

Specifically on socials where people were like, “We’ve tried 2025 and now we want our money back.” Or whatever is was like a week in to the year.

I wonder how they are doing now that we are seven months in, has anything changed for them? Also, what did they think would change in a week?

Change takes action, you have to physically do things to change something.

I am thinking about me and what I did to make a change. I made two that were significant to me, but maybe not anyone else, but that doesn’t matter.

The first one, I started posting journal entries on the internet. Every year I told myself I would start writing more and I never did, I would sit and think about doing it day after day, week after week, but I wouldn’t do anything. I even started on the first of January but never followed up, this year though I made it semi-consistent and it feels really good.

So now the world gets the fabulous life musings of this 48 year old Texas woman. I know at least 23 do, because that’s how many subscribers I have.

Also, I started posting my pictures.

I call them paper paintings because all of them are made from shredded, torn or hole punched paper. I even made a Facebook page for them.

I did this because I was shy about it before and was worried that people would be horribly cruel because generally people are, but I haven’t had that happen. Also, I realized you don’t have to engage. If you are terrible and make a terrible comment I can just leave it there for everyone to see.

Ok that’s all I have. Enjoy your day.
