Through The Tulips Words of 'Wiz'dom

I have to say that I am really enjoying the first few days of the New Year and if this is any indication of what the rest of the year is going to be like- I’m thrilled. I have high expectations and I know that my expectations can be met and exceeded. Life is great like that. If you expect the worst, you can pretty much be assured that the worst is going to follow you, or at least something which is less than pleasant. But on the flip side of that coin, if you are expecting the best, and carrying a positive attitude, more great things can happen than you could ever dream of.

No, that doesn’t mean that disappointments won’t happen, or that you won’t even have struggles, but remember- perspective is everything.

I lost my perspective somewhat last year, and I’m working on regaining it and making this one of the best years of my life. I’ve had some pretty great years, but I know that this one can be even better, and I plan on helping that along.

Today I started my journey to get the 40 pounds off that are standing between me and my weight loss goals. I still have a little bit of this head cold, so I haven’t started on the elliptical, but I was determined to move, so I went for a half hour walk and covered 2 miles. Not bad considering I was wearing Timberland boots and walking in ice part of the time. It’s my start.

I’m committed to myself, and to this journey.

I will be successful!
