A Commitment to ME

I make commitments all the time!  I agree to bring things do things, show up, etc.  I honor those commitments.  However the commitments I make to myself, I just don't seem to care about.  It's okay to let myself down but not anyone else?  How ridiculous does that sound?  But I know I am not alone in this.  I have made several commitments to my weight loss and to my writing.  Yet here I am months later, with little done with either.

So here I am, with yet another Day 1 of the rest of my life.  I WILL write here daily. Even if it's nothing much.  Even if I'm too tired and really want to just finish the book I'm reading.  Even if I am angry or sad.  Even if the day has been awesome and I feel like I don't have too much to complain out or say!

Secondly, I will work on not eating as much.  I'm not going to go on a diet.  I'm not going to set myself any goals except these:  I will eat less.  I will drink more water and I will vow to get more exercise.  That won't be too hard to do because currently I do NONE!  So if I just walk out my front door, down to the stop sign and back that will be more than I did today!

The fact is, time is moving in warp speed.  The time we think we will have tomorrow will be gone.  My children are growing up so fast and I still feel like I'm 17 and plotting out where my life will go.  The truth is, it's gone...it goes everyday, whether I make plans for the day or not.  I want to be more present in my life and in the decisions I make.

So here's to always having the opportunity to 'start again' until we take our last breath...and even then I believe we might get to accomplish more than we know!  Thanks for joining my ride...
