Continuing the Journey
A new year - the same journey.
Much discussion goes around this time of year in regard to "New Year's Resolutions." I pretty much have stopped making them. Oh, not that I am not pursuing new goals and have several thoughts on improving my journey. No, I just have come to a place where I see each day as a new beginning and a chance to start something new - why wait until just once a year?
I am sure it is obvious that writing more consistently in my blog should be one of those goals - and it is as long as it continues to be an outlet and not a "must do." And there is my interest in Jane Austen lately that makes me think I should at least attempt to read one of her novels. And after watching "Miss Potter" today I am thinking perhaps I should renew my relationship with Peter Rabbit.
Of course there is the always present list of house and outdoor projects to be done. And new things to learn to bake and recipes to try and places to see and things to do. Pictures on my camera that seriously need to be downloaded. All this does not even tap the physical and spiritual part of my journey!
And so there you go. No real resolutions - just a daily choice to continue in a postive direction on my journey.
Go forth and conquer!
simple faith
