Today is April 21, 2009

I’m flipping forward to this date on my 2010 calendar and marking it with a big question mark. What will I be doing one year from today? Will it be the same-old, same-old, or will I have actually followed through on any (or even just one) of the big changes I keep meaning to make?

I’m 43 years old, pretty healthy, pretty smart, and full of good intentions. I’m young enough to enjoy the fruits of those good intentions for many years to come, if God sees fit. But first, those intentions have to move beyond the intention stage. Oh, that.

So: I’ve decided it’s time for me to live up to my own tough standards. And when I can’t, well, I’ll admit it and accept it. I’m broadening my horizons… mind, body, soul, planet.

Nothing like a challenge, and I’ve got 365 days, God willing. Stay tuned.
