I'm back

OK, it started out as me taking time off during the holidays. It ended with me knocked out with a bug that refused to let go -- I'm still struggling to get rid of it. But I'm back.

I know you've made and probably already broken resolutions, but here are mine, just three, for fulfillment in the New Year:

OK, let's just say that marathon showing of this past season's The Biggest Loser has me headed back to the gym...as soon as I can breathe properly. Don't make me say d-i-e-t is my number one.
2. Buy new pillows. Not just what's on sale at my favorite low-priced department stores (think bullseye and blue smock). I want luxury pillows. Isn't it, after all, the smaller things in life that truly make us happy? I want that to be my metaphor for the year.
3. Explore you. What is a 'Ganesh Chaturthi?' The Hindu Society meets just down the street. Regardless of my faith beliefs, my job is to know about yours.

Welcome Back Nancy, hope you can shake the bug that bit you! I have decided to not make resolutions. It might be just a play on words, but I set goals for the year. That way, I can see progress toward a goal and don't feel like a failure if I don't achieve complete success. Resolutions feel like an all or nothing situation to me.

I have one goal of improving my overall health. That will involve many small changes over the course of time. Some of the results of paying attention to my health, I hope, will be a reduction in my weight and an improvement in my energy level.

Included in my overall health is my spiritual health. This is one area that will receive a major focus. I want to deepen my spiritual conneection to all things. I plan to recommit myself to regular meditation and prayer. I also want to work more with Reiki and other healing practices. In the past when I have committed myself to this type of work the benefits have spilled over into all aspects of my life. I have no reason to believe otherwise this time.
