New Me!


I may not stick with the revamped Me! Me! Me me me!

It’s not really revamped, it’s more like an effort to hang onto the days of old when really I need to be heading forward. I’ll keep it for now, though, as that saves time trying to think of yet another new name for my blog. That will come naturally one day, I hope. And the blog is kind of about me. Sometimes, at least.

Now, about me:

I’ve updated my word over on OneWord365.com, but have decided to continue with my previous word as well, as I haven’t been as patient with myself as much as I could have been – and I started focussing on patience part-way through last year anyway. My new word to focus on (or, in the terms of the OneWord365 site, the tribe I have joined) is Enjoy.

And I intend to enjoy a lot of things, I can tell you!

Now, I get things wrong (just a little bit, every now and then!), and I don’t mind admitting that. In fact, I enjoy getting some things wrong. Like, for example, when I was visiting the above site, I’d mistakenly gone to oneword.com, which is a different site entirely that provides one word as a writing prompt, and then gives you thirty seconds to write about it. The word I got on this site was ‘mercy’, but I didn’t proceed with the writing part there, as I was already in the process of writing here, and didn’t want the confusion of writing two things at once. Writing one thing at once is confusing enough right now. Goodness only knows how it reads…

The word ‘mercy’ was quite an interesting random selection, however, as it starts with ‘me’ and kind of sounds like ‘Mersey’ which is the name of the river I’d driven over a few minutes earlier. Well, I drove over a bridge, not the actual river, you understand. Even with this cold snap the river would never freeze. It was on fire once, but it has never froze. Unless I dreamt that.

But see: I digress. I’m meant to be writing about my new word ‘enjoy’, and I’m writing about a different word entirely. So different it isn’t even the word I was incorrectly prompted to write about either.

It’s a good job I enjoy writing. Even, as in this case, about nothing. I enjoy writing about nothing, I’ve probably mentioned that before. But, I intend to write regularly about something. See, the New Me is starting to appear. Sheepishly; but he’s there, bursting with excitement (and enjoyment) to get out.

About what, when and how often the New Me reveals himself remains to be seen, but when he does – I do – I hope you’ll feel the enjoyment I’ve experienced in writing the words oozing through the words when you read them.

Oozing in a good way, I mean. Not that there’s any other way to enjoy anything is there? You can’t enjoy anything badly now, can you?

    No worries Tom – you are under no pressure!!! 🙂

    Welcome to 2015 my friend – may this be the year all your wishes come true!

    Not the bad dreams, obviously, because dreams are only dreams… 🙂

    God Bless!

      Only the good, Prenin. I don’t really remember the bad dreams, Prenin… although I once dreamt that I couldn’t sleep. Still can’t get my head around that one…
      Yes, Happy New Year!

    Happy New Year, Tom! On the topic of your word, Enjoy, for the first time ever, I had a dream when I went to sleep last night (more like early New Year’s Day morning), that was so uproariously funny, I woke laughing. That was a first. Unfortunately, I have no recollection of what it was about. And no, I’m not on medication, nor was I any sheets to the wind. It was just a wildly funny dream. I hope there will be an equally good sequel.

    Oh I like how you are thinking TL…Seeing the bigger picture 🙂 Very astute to notice yourself going backward instead of forward! Being able to notice is half the battle so you are doing well!!!! The next phase is taking that awareness and working with it to make the changes. I feel good things for you in 2015! It’s been interesting watching you expand…Flap those wings and get flying my friend. Lots of ground to cover. Bravo 🙂 Blessings and wishes for your new year….VK

      I’m veering all over the place at the moment, VK. Sometimes, even in the right direction!!!
      But yes… I’ll have to get flying again. I’ve been grounded long enough. Time to soar once more!
      Happy New Year!
