My Goals: IN ONE YEAR Learn to EAT, PRAY, LOVE ... My Way*


1) Find Health and Strength for Me and my Family (Physically, Emotionally, and Spiritually).

2) Have a Love Affair and Long-Lasting Friendship with my EC (Eternal Companion).

3) Be Available for My Children through their Triumphs and their Trials.


*As I followed Elizabeth Gilbert's journey through "Eat, Pray, Love" and now as you follow me on my journey, perhaps a world of possibilities will open up for you too. Where do you want to go? Who do you want to be? Me? I'd just like to learn to be my loving, happy self and live long and healthy enough to enjoy the outcome. And you? I encourage you to challenge yourself. What would you like to do next? What direction are you going? Our talents and uniqueness bless our world ... and someone is always watching, always following in our footsteps. My prayer is that our footsteps may always be worth following.

Day 16 - A Time for Reflection


I been thinking. (Yes, it hurt.) Is thinking long and hard about something meditating? Meditation is part of my 2nd goal: Pray. Still something to study, I am contented for the time to just sit and think. (smiles)

I have lived for almost 50 years. I am older than some trees and some buildings. I am older than I could have imagined back when I was a child. The first death I remember was my grandmother's. She died when I was 18. She was 54, I think. It's just weird. That's all.

Is there a list of things I should have done before I go this old? "Should of" and "could of" are words of the past. No use wasting time on them. So, what will I do with the future? At the rate we keep people alive in the 21st century, I will most likely be alive for another 50 years. Since that's the case, I'm glad there's not a Mid-Term! Can you imagine being 100 years old?

With the whole of possibilities in front of me, what will I choose to do?

Hmmm. I wonder what will I reflect on when I'm 100.

383 days to go.
