I find myself at somewhat of a crossroads. I have decisions to make. They require large commitments. Some of the decisions would be life changing in a material way - some in a mental, personal way. I could write pros and cons lists. I could meditate. I could pray. I could follow my heart - or my head. Either way, I struggle. I struggle with the long term. I struggle with the short term. Some seem easy - like what to eat right now to continue on my health plan or what time to go to the gym (or to go at all). Some are more difficult - like career choices or commitments to large goals.
Either way, I have to make a decision. Forge a path. Move ahead. And make the choices I have to with no regret (and this is my largest struggle - regret).
I'm going to end this post because I have an action to take. A large one for me. A personal goal to fulfill. 2016 will be a year of change. A year of goals met. I am determined to make it so.

2016 - A New Year
Well, well, well. 14 long months since my last blog post. "Where have you been?" you ask. Well, I've been doing the same thing I've always done. Starting a new weight loss plan every so often, working, starting a new exercise regime (every so often), cleaning the house, surfing the net, vegging in front of the television, sleeping, eating.....
In the past year I've lost weight. I've gained weight. I camped for 5 days in Vermont. I redecorated my house. I've tried new recipes. I've celebrated holidays, birthdays and anniversaries. I've thought about writing. I haven't. I want to document the things I've done. I haven't. Laziness? Overwhelmed by life? Maybe a combination of both. Maybe neither. I am neither lazy nor overwhelmed but sometimes the thought of sitting down to write does not spur me to take action. It's been on the back burner, an afterthought.
So here I am. It's January 7, 2016. A new year. New resolutions to do the things I love. To reach goals. A new disappointment that another year has gone by and I haven't accomplished the things I logged into a new journal as my aspirations for 2015. I found that journal today and tossed it. It's just a reminder of dreams and goals I have put off for another year. But if nothing else, I am persistent. I DO have goals. I DO have dreams. And I will continue to pursue them. And when all is said and done, I plan on finishing them, achieving them.
Happy 2016! May all of your, and my, dreams come true.
