MARILYN’S WAY MARCH HABIT Getting Dressed To Shoes
My Oh My! I am so Overwhelmed With Pure Joy! Thank you Flylady for telling other flybabies about me! Lily thanks you too! She says, “Thank you Flylady! I got my mommy back!”

Are you ready to start living your life your way? March Habit Getting Dressed To Shoes is one tool that can make it happen. It is a day by day process and to be honest it took me close to 66 Days before I became comfortable with this habit. I suffered from “Die Hard Live in Pajamas, No One is Going to See Me Anyway Syndrome” I also had another syndrome. It was why do I need a Before Bedtime Routine? I never go anywhere? The problem with this is all the days begin to run together. Missed appointments happen, lights get turned off because of forgetting to pay the bill, missed birthdays. You name it.

All the excuses we give as to why our lives aren’t going the way we want them to can be solved in just Getting Dressed To Shoes. Show up for your life! You see You everyday. You move around in your home everyday and maybe just maybe you will begin to practice a few habits that Flylady stresses to be important.

2011 I decided I was going to practice each monthly habit as they came along the way. You know what? It worked! January Shine Your Sink, February Declutter 15 Minutes a Day. When Flylady says to Declutter it is in all forms of Clutter. Did you Declutter some of the messages in your head that are keeping you from Getting Dressed To Shoes? There are millions of them! I seem to hear a new reason for not doing this habit daily. Make a list of 7 reasons why you can’t do the March Habit and 7 reasons why you can. Lily and I challenge you to try it for at least 3 Days in a Row. This is how we started. 3 outfits, 3 days, repeat. Day 9 was the hardest day. We got through it and just concentrated on 3 Days at a Time and it worked!

I haven’t decided if I will continue to post daily with photo. I know I won’t be able to this weekend. My mom and I are going to Iowa to help my Great Aunt Hilda Celebrate Her 100th BIRTHDAY! Here’s to you Hilda! Thank you for all that you have taught me through the years. You truly know what it means to have habits and routines. I was in a routine every time I visited her whether I wanted to or not! I dedicate 2011 to Hilda Doyen and Marla Watson Cilley. Love you both! Thank you everyone for supporting me and I hope I have helped you in even the smallest way. I struggle with many issues like depression, ADD, Fibromyalgia, HypoThyroidism, and Sleep Apnea among this all. I used them as excuses for years and finally while I still have all of this they no longer have the power over me. I can finally see me and you can see you too! Find your way! It is out there!
Keep FLYing!
