Summer = Change

My daughter graduated in May and we are preparing for her to leave for college.  Facing the impending empty nest, I know that change cannot be avoided.  I begin asking myself questions like:

1)  What do I want to accomplish?

2)  Where do I see myself in 5 years?

3)  What dreams have I put on hold?

4)  What habits do I want to put into place?

5)  Where does my spirit song guide me?

I feel a bit lost to be honest.  I know I will teach as I enjoy it and it has purpose.  I've wanted to write consistently and eventually publish but I have let distractions to creep in.  I need good habits that will lead to this consistency.  And...well...there is that 270 pounds I need to face.  I need to put habits into place to reach that goal.  I need activity habits to break and to replace.  I need to change how I cook, both in quantity and quality.  I need to journal and face those demons.  My spirit song...guides me to desire order...not OCD order but to restore balance in my world.  I've been off balance tottering along for too long.
