exercise

So, it's January 13, 2006. I got an early start on my new year's resolution. I generally have failed to keep resolutions by about this time, so I'm daring to go public as an act of accountability. I started exercising the third week in November, and I have successfully participated in my exercise of choice (generally 3 x's per week) since. That is something of an adult personal record for me.
My heart feels better. I'm learning that mind, body and soul are not as separate as I had once believed--God discovery is better done when caring for all of the physical and spiritual resources God has provided me.
I'm no super athlete! I am not overly confident of continued success. I will feel much more secure when I know that my habit has continued for three full months. For now, I'm keeping my fingers crossed (whispering a prayer) that I won't give up; that mind and spirit will invite body into harmony, so I will be able to take my next step on this life journey without fear that it will be my last.
Maybe next month I will take on the next of my resolutions...less food intake...ouch! With God, all things are possible...but cooperation is required.

New Year

We like to wish people a happy New Year. I would certainly appreciate having one, but I'm not so sure that being happy is the most important thing to wish someone, even though I did it a lot today. Maybe we should wish people a peace-filled new year or a meaning-filled new year. I think I would rather make a difference than be happy. Although, I must say, it would be great to do both. Maybe it is in making a difference that we discover the inner peace and real satisfaction for which we are all searching.

Well, have a happy new year. But get it the right way!!
