Completion. How foreign.

I was watching Julie and Julia last night. Unfortunately, there were some errors with Netflix which prevented me from finishing the second half but perhaps that is why an early part of the movie has stuck with me all night and morning: the concept of a ritual that brings pleasure but also consistency into one's life. I love how Julie likened her blogging/ cooking experiment to AA- one day at a time.

Lately I've noticed I start things in my personal life but rarely finish them. Cleaning my house, Pilates classes, bike riding, etc. On the one hand, I recognize that my diverse interests and ability to multi-task are strengths but, on the other, I need to self-discipline a bit. I don't like being flaky to my friends and I avoid that at most costs yet am so often flaky with myself. So today, I plan to finish cleaning/ organizing. No more putting things in boxes for another day. I've got Lady Gaga blaring in the background and a onesie on from the gap. I'm dancing and singing and really enjoying the mood. Wish me luck if you are listening.

Tomorrow I'll give more thought to a routine that is manageable but also full of pleasure. Any thoughts?
