New Years Resolutions

I will seek to stimulate my mind. I have purchased books about topics I am really interested in but I haven�t made the time to read them. I will enjoy the silence of my home eschewing the TV for more intellectual pursuits (or simply becoming lost in some mindless household chore. There is comfort in mindlessness.

I will pay attention to my body. There are changes in the future for me and I will not neglect my body as I embark on my new frontier. Even though I continue to feel detached from my physical being it is more important than ever that I find my connection again. I know that my Martial art is the key (along with general exercise) and I will make time for it.

I will nurture my spirit. I will contemplate silence and practice turning off my brain. I will sit on my pillow and still the raging storm in my head visualizing the still, calm waters of the lake held under the morning mist. I will not allow the momentous changes in my life to carry me away but I will not fight the current.

Mind, Body Spirit�That�s about it. There are all sorts of little habits and such that I must continue to work out of my life but to detail them here would be silly. I know what they are and I work daily to improve but the most important task is to be a better human and care more for the humans in my sphere.

I have been preoccupied and make no mistake that will not change anytime soon. I have a great deal to be preoccupied with. I will think about what I need to think about and when I am ready I will share. I am following the journeys of all my friends here and I apologize for my silence. You will understand I am sure.

I wish you all a New Year!!

I wish you Peace
