Wow. A lot has happened since I was last here. I had and now don't have a boyfriend. Summer came and went. School ended and started. There was some really happy times and some profoundly sad ones. Now that I am on the other side of all of that I have decided to brush myself off and try again to get in shape.
I've decided I need to lay out a plan comprised of small goals. Perhaps it will be best to take this day-by-day, which will add to week-by-week. The first milestone will be my 46th birthday on October 26. Starting tomorrow - indeed a somber reminder of how unpredictable life can be - I will challenge myself to see what I can accomplish in the 45 days until my 46th birthday.
I read several books this summer. Two of the more profound ones were 'The Last Lecture' by Randy Pausch and 'Tuesdays with Morrie' by Mitch Albom. Both reminded me that I can ill afford to procrastinate indefinitely; I must live my life to the fullest NOW. I must quit wasting time and NOW go about the business of making myself happy. I must live in the present moment to live my life to the fullest.
Some may argue that I already lead a very full life. I will agree that I have (and take advantage of) travel opportunities, have great friends and am fortunate to have a very satisfying job. But I can, want and will do so much more!
So that's my charge and I am excited about seriously living a happy and purposeful life. I deserve and am worthy of it. Here's to me! Thanks for sharing in my journey. :-)
