The rules are pretty simple. One word. Five minutes of writing. No editing.
Fight.
Why. Why do we fight? Is it out of anger? Or is it to passionately defend something or someone? I think of my past year cause that's what everyone is doing right now. Trying to see what they should have done, could have done. Maybe so that they can make this year different? Or maybe just to see the beauty in the year that they had. Or maybe it's to see the fight that they had to put into their year. Fight not in a bad way but in a fight to push through to the end.
This past year. I fought in a good way. I fought to push through so many obstacles that were thrown my way. I mean that in the literal since too (remember that one time I was all like, yeah lets go do a 5K Obstacle course... it'll be fun). I mean that in the all secretive way too (remember my dear friend when I called you and just needed an ear to hear).
This year. I want to fight again. I will battle the laundry room. I will slash my way through dishes. I will push my marriage to the brink of spectacular-ness. I will not be pulled into the lures of my children's fighting. I will fight through every run and work out. I will fight to the very end for my family. I will push through every single day to glow in whatever it is I strive to do.
I will fight through the obstacles, that's my kind of fighting, because everything, everyone is worth fighting for. That's the kind of year I want.
I will fight to be able to glow this year.
I love how you are fighting to get your life organized and how it is coming together! I commend you. Very well written and I enjoyed reading it!
