Here is an easel all splayed out on a table.A friend of mine described what I'm going through this week as "rebooting", and I think it's perfect. Not sad or pining - just cleaning out the extra files that were slowing me down and keeping me from being at my best. It means I haven't done a lot of excitingly crazy things. I've just been running after work and then cleaning up my desktop, removing extra icons, unplugging and restarting. The good thing is that when I'm done sorting through the people and things in my life that are worth keeping and those that I have to let go, because even though there are great things about them, they aren't terribly healthy or positive for me, I'll emerge from my reboot so much stronger and leaner.
As you all know, it's hard for me to let go, but I know it's necessary sometimes. Since this crap is all connected, the mental and emotional workouts are just as important as the physical ones. So, here's to doing the real work... No matter how much of a pain in the ass it is. I'm continually striving to get into the best shape of my life. Wish me luck. I'm gonna need it.

Churlita,
Once you set your mind on something it seems your good at foloowing through!

Rebooting is a good term for it. I need to do that, my life is a bit too much right now.
Wishing you tons of luck, I know you can do it! Reboot and recharge!!
I love the analogy...
That is such a great way to think of it...deleting the unneccesary to help yourself function more efficiently.
I actually did a minor version of that a couple of weeks ago and it was a positive experience.
Not a reboot, an UPGRADE!
