Time for a reboot

Long time no writey, eh? Life's been busy. And now I have 2 kids - so, yeah, ya know (or can imagine) what it's like, right?

But now it's time for a reboot. It's time for me to get a few things back on track, and blogging helps me organize my thoughts and keep myself accountable.

I've already taken a few baby steps -

• I'm eating better (for the most part) so I've lost some of the extra weight I had (still lots more to go, but I'm not in a hurry as long as I do the right things and pick myself back up when I get off track).
• I'm walking more (about 15-20 minutes a day - I was successful for about a month, then I got sick and stopped - I've started back up again).
• I'm listening to scripture (it's so hard to actually sit down right now and read my Bible - I'm almost always distracted - so I'm at least listening to things while I walk, which in turn helps me to think and process).
• I'm focusing more areas on ME - that's really the only way I can recharge, so unless I want to constantly run out of fuel (which I had been), I really have no choice but to figure out how to focus on me.

I had thought that I would start a new blog as well, instead of bring this one back from the dead. However - I then thought about how this blog represents me. Even if the 'me' now is not quite the same 'me' as years ago, it's still a part of me. I can't just throw me away and get a new me when I've been running on auto-pilot and hardly paying attention to things I'm passing by. No - I have to stop and pick back up where I am right in this moment. So there's no reason to get rid of this old blog and start a new one. I'm just going to do the same thing with this blog as I am with myself - pick back up where I am now and keep on going. I did give it a slight face-lift, though, visually.

My goal is to post about things that inspire me, things that I learn about, and things that motivate me, in hopes that these same things might inspire, teach, and possibly motivate you as well (even if it's not in the same way - that part doesn't matter).

If you still choose to walk next to me in this journey, I would love to have you here. If not, I promise there's no hard feelings. Time changes things, and people change with time. We all have our path to follow.


So - with that - how have YOU been?
