Less Dithering, More Doing

Options
My name is Fruity Dragon and I'm a procrastinator!



I'm also sick of being such a ditherer so I've decided to reinstate a diary and get working on myself and my goals rather than watch life just float along.


I've been working on changes in my life and it's a coincidence that it's new year as this is not a new year resolution. These are changes I've needed to make for some time and have decided to start this diary to track those changes.



So I'm a female in my late 40's. I'm single and feeling like life is passing me by. It's very possibly a mid life crisis but whatever it is, I'm feeling restless with the monotony of everyday life, how I dip into credit cards and then pay them off only to start the cycle again and on it goes. In general I'm good with money but unless I set myself goals I don't really move forward.


I think that's about it for now. I'll try to post regularly to make sure to keep up the momentum.


Happy 2019.
