January So Far

Every year it seems that time goes by faster than the year before. We are only at the middle of January 2015 but I am ready to review the year up to this point. Grab a drink and indulge me.

Goals

I am determined to lose 50 pounds this year. I was not happy with my weight when I went to the doctor, as I am certain I have gained a few pounds since my last visit for medication. I have steadily gained weight since the move here, though not rapidly. I must fix this. 

I hope to finish my next book this year, though progress on it is slow as I have begun to edit the parts already written. 

I want to get my divorce finalized.

Working for it

I developed a routine of walking with the kid, and try to watch what I put in my mouth. (Some days more successfully than others.)

I managed a savings plan that may or may not pan out but I am still doing what I can with it. It takes time and dedication. I have both.


Slowly but surely I am making progress toward these, but there are days it is not as fast as I would like it to be.

C is for Calm

It's been so long that I'm not sure what it is anymore but I think I'm beginning to find calm. It is the feeling that allows you to find contentment in the smallest things. It does not have to be something major, it can be something as simple as a gentle breeze. There are a number of things that have a calming effect; I look forward to being able to do them. What are they? I'll tell you in no particular order. Walking on the beach. Drinking a beer by a bonfire. Sitting in front of a fireplace. Reading a book. Spending time alone just thinking or writing just to write. Calm is a nice feeling, and one that has been missed the last few years. Slowly it is returning that is why C is for calm.

Flash in the Pan Playing Along Still

The pages were bent and ragged from years of use, covers worn out from hands rubbing over them. There were bowls everywhere, the oven was still hot. She tasted it again, something wasn’t right. It was sweet, tangy but not right. What was missing? She scanned the room again to see. Onions maybe? No, but what could it be? She hit her head on the cabinet. A pepper that was it!
