Turn The Page!

Life is full of changes whether we like it or not. September always marks the end of something and the beginning of something else for me. It’s easy to look over my shoulder and have disappointments of the past. Was summer too short? Will the coming winter be too long? Have I accomplished the things I pondered on January 1st? Have I started something I haven’t finished? The answers to those questions for me are always disappointing. I have decided to focus on my accomplishments this year and adjust the goals I have not met. It’s easy to make goals and dream on things that are beyond my capacity. It is therefore easy to fall into depression and even self pity when those things don’t come to fruition. We are approaching the 4th quarter of the year. Panic could be a result of my shortfalls. I MUST GET THESE THINGS DONE! Not so! I am going to adjust my goals so they are actually attainable instead of living in a realm of self imposed supernatural non reality. In order to wrap my brain around this adjustment, I will turn the page and put my past non reality to rest. Perhaps some of the goals will be on the new page, but they will be different. They will be real. They will be adjusted.

Robynn and I have two more grandies in the oven. My time and focus need to adjust in order to give proper attention to our growing family. We are incredibly blessed! So turn the page I will, and on that fresh new page are priorities of family first goals and resolutions. I doubt anyone has ever regretted adjusting goals to have more time with family.
