I was reviewing last year’s
blog in January and not to anyone’s surprise discovered enthusiasm for a number
of things and observations on life and myself (qu’elle surpris). Recently I
read a suggestion to throw a slip of paper in a jar with a great day or event,
whenever it might happen, to be opened up on New Year’s Eve and thus reveal
what a great year 2014 was. I’m not sure
if that is what I want to do but figuratively at least it’s a nice idea.
I started out this week with
the idea of “marching into my future” and creating something memorable each
day. It didn’t need to be a huge thing
but something that meant I was not sitting in front of the television set. So here I am sitting in front of the computer
trying to write something sensible for my blog.
Placed books on the nightstand, put on the workout uniform so that I can
do my new squats as recommended by the therapist and all the while wondering “is
this enough”?
Perhaps it’s just a tiny
step in the direction that I want to go towards, being active and nimble in
mind and body. The mistake we often make
is trying to take on more than what is really possible so in a way, we are set
for failure before we even begin. Reflecting
over the last few years I see a pattern of recognizing that big chunks don’t
work and I give myself another Wow moment in that I have accomplished more than
I at first realized.
It’s very easy to look at
all the dismal stories and feel discouraged; it’s not so easy to look at
yourself and appreciate that despite failures there actually are successes
along this road of Life. Having said that,
I don’t want to let myself off easy because I do think that there is a lot more
that needs doing, and I can be part of that.
I’m just warming up.
