Ta-Da!

Not planning on posting anything substantial considering that it's getting close to 2:00a.m. and I am tired. But...

I did want to at lease post something as I plan to begin using this again. Just for myself really. Of course for myself, actually. LOL

This week has been a good one, in comparison to a long string of bad ones. Not good because of anything specific that happened really, and much of the week was honestly a struggle to get through - but the point is, I got through it and kept on trucking.

Getting off the narcotic pain medications the military doctors were keeping me on as "stable" was a really good choice on my part. The difference in how I behave now, verses just a couple of weeks ago... AMAZING.

While I do not call the following "New Years Resolutions" I will agree that they are resolutions, they just happened to be around New Years because of when I came off the medications and started to *care* again. So, without further ado, there they are..

1) Spend 1hr per day cleaning.
2) Spend 1hr per day in prayer (I.E. Bible Study).
3) Spend 1hr per day exercising.

For the past week I've been doing good on all but the exercising. LOL Well, that's not exactly true. By 1hr a day, I meant 1hr in the gym on top of whatever else I do. While I haven't gone to the gym, I have been very active as I've been walking for 1/2 the day or more on many of the days this past week as I've gone around on my own shooting pictures in different places. So, my legs have certainly been getting a workout!

I'd like to start keeping track of my Christian walk, but I'm not sure yet if I'm going to do that here or start a blog specifically for that. Either way, I'd like to keep track of my progress (both ups and downs) over time. Something to reflect upon.

What spurred much of what I'm trying to do was my reflection on how the times I've been most happy were often the times I had the least. Certainly, I do not mean like now were I am powerless to deal with or fix anything that's going on because of... reasons. What I mean are the times where I had balance in my life, because my life was simple. Family, Church, Work, Relax. Rinse, wash and repeat.

Okay, time for this bonzo to get to bed. Um, love you Dear Diary? lol... g'Night!
