Mikasa

I started this year with good intentions.  My cup would runneth over and never be half empty.  I would be optimistic and up beat and walk away from dessert.

Well damn.  The first month of the year isn't even over yet and my cup is already broken. 

I still have dragons in my yard.  I should have slayed them by now but there they are, making a mess, setting fire to my calm. 

I've got a to-do list a mile long.

I've got things bottled up and guards I'd love to let down.

So here's a promise I'll make to myself.  I'm not going to walk away from cheesecake, ice cream, blueberry pie or chocolate mousse anymore.  Instead, I will walk away from all things toxic.  Things that are sucking me dry and trying to steal my soul.  Situations that spin me round and leave me to put out a million fires.

Because I don't have as much room on my plate anymore. 

Now, having said all that, my wine glass remains unbroken and as soon as I get home tonight, I'm gonna ask a dragon if he'd like to share a bottle of Cupcake Chardonnay with me...
