New Month Equals Clean Slate

Everything that has happened before today is done and over with.  The start of the new month equals a clean slate and new start on the rest of my life.  All we can do is take each day and make the most of it.  There's no guarantee that we'll live another second, much less another day, so we had best get to enjoying it.  Tonight after work, I have the meetup for the Harvest the Music free concert in Lafayette Square to go to.  Anders Osborne and Big Chief Monk Boudreaux are playing.  I'm going to try to make it every week, although I did miss the first week due to a prior commitment.

The Preparation Begins

November 8, 2009 10:01 am marks the 44th advent of my birth and the start of my transformation year.  My goal is to spend the next month or so clearing the list of many things that have to be done in my life to prepare to devote myself to me.  The primary theme of this preparation is "everything in its place and that without a place no longer inhabits my space."  Discipline, commitment, reward, and change are the emphasis of the next year.  I've spent most of my life not doing what I want to do for myself.  No more excuses and no more reasons for not doing so.
