Today is the day

Today is the day I'm going to stop fooling myself about my story.  It's not going to get written by itself.

Today is the day I'm going to start meditating on a regular basis so I can get my head in the right place.

Today is the day I'm going to begin eating right and exercising on a regular basis.

This is it.  And I wanted to write it down so I can guilt myself into a habit and continue the habit because I'm 41, feeling old and feeble, and I'm done waiting for someone else to do it for me.

Yeah, I'm good at that.  I put off what I can as long as I can and hope that someone else will do it or it'll magically resolve itself.  That's why I began just writing the other day and have done so almost every day, even if it's just "All work and no play makes jack a dull boy" - can you name the movie?

We went to the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens (why it's not botanical, I don't understand) with our friends and had a really nice time walking around and seeing the workshops and demonstrations.  The Seido Karate demo and the Tea Pouring ceremony were my highlights.  It was a japanese festival for the 100th anniversary of the gardens, and I'd really like to go back some day when there aren't thousands of people because it's a really pretty place.  I'd really like to see it in early spring for the Cherry Blossoms blooming, I think we're going to plan for next year.

Hope this finds everyone healthy and well.
