How many times in a lifetime does one make a new start for an old goal? Here I am again, about to have another birthday, and how many times before now have I set goals saying that by this time NEXT year, I will be doing whatever or weighing whatever or that I have accomplished whatever? I am at this place once again . Defeated and failure are two words I do not want in my vocabulary.
I have lived many lives in this life, and can say that I have been blessed beyond measure. I have a successful and fulfilling marriage, successful and faithful-to-God children and grandchildren, a long career, parents who are still living, a roof over my head, cars to drive, food in the pantry, pets to love, and friends who I cherish and who cherish me. God is large in my life, but I have been guilty of not seeking his counsel before making choices.
Self reliance and strong will are two of my many traits. I often believe that I can do anything. I press forward to a point, but somehow manage to slip off of the track back onto the path I have so often traveled, one which leaves me feeling like I have once again managed to disappoint myself by not following through with my strong resolve to accomplish a goal.
I am in the process of defining the goals for the remainder of my life, and as they unfold, I will be thinking them through here in black and white.
If you happen to have found me here on this journey, feel free to tune in from time to time and see if I am keeping myself heading down the right track toward whatever the goal is which I intend to pinpoint and make known as I process this in a visual way.
