Whoa, what just flew by?

It was December. It came so quickly, I was hardly ready then it sped right past with a flourish. New Years is coming in just a few days. I'm hoping to start a new job next week and start a new program (lifestyle change) that will get me into shape, get me healthy, and subsequently happy. Things have been a bit uneasy for me lately so I have had to do quite a bit of soul searching and reorganizing the internal priorities. I have my inspiration and my cheerleaders in place. All I need to do is get started. The gun goes off on January 1st. I will have 5 1/2 months to accomplish the first and largest part of the goal. Then it will be continuous steps afterward. There is no room or opportunity for failure. With my cholesterol higher this year than it was this time last year, and my weight pushing my previous maximum, I am very concerned about my future. This time it's much more than having a new wardrobe dangled in front of me or other things, now it is realizing that if I don't do something now, RIGHT NOW, I may not be around for my kids and grandkids.

So, onward. I have to put together my program and share it with Jim and Sean so that they know exactly what my starting point is and where I expect to be in 5 months. In the meantime, I can't allow my new job or anything else to cause stress in my life because that would surely throw a cog in my wheel.

On another more positive note, I have written more of my book but have to step back from it a bit to revamp the outline. I did not like where it was headed so I need to make some changes. I'm hoping to have it done and at the publisher by the end of the summer. I realize that is a long time but at the moment my story is a somewhat moving target and I have to get it all nailed down. There will be more excerpts posted in a couple of weeks.

On the Ebay front, I have been able to sell a few things and will continue going through a friend's account until I see some continuity and momentum gain at which time I will set myself up with my own biz and keep it going. Thanks to my friends at TASC, I was able to obtain some great boxes of varying sizes and shapes as well as a fair amount of bubble packing. They can't use any of the clear stuff that they get in their incoming packaging because everything that they ship in turn has to use the pink anti-static. So they will be saving boxes and packing material for me. How cool is that?

Another post will be forthcoming by Friday. Stay tuned!
