no longer an ostrich...

I've been thinking long and hard about being an ostrich ,hiding from my debts and other things, floundering in feelings of inadequacy, inaction and self-doubt, plus thinking about doing so many things, but never actually doing anything.

I decided to change the name of the blog to "it's me, Sam". Why this name? I feel like I'm taking ownership of who I really am, and I'm looking for a balance between the wild child I was in my late teens, early twenties ( if there was a party i was there front and center) and the stuck in the rut mom in my thirties ( doing very little for myself).

The first thing I'm doing to make a small change is join an exercise class. I'll be going to a class where I don't know a soul ( my knees are shaking) and I don't have a clue how to do anything. I did want to take a yoga class, but can't find one yet, so I'll join this class instead.

February's baby step is to prepare for being a non-smoker. I'll use the help of a smoking aid, plus using the internet to go for help.

March, I've decided that I'll learn to bake bread... or knit ( i've tried before, but I'll try again)
