Remember the times when you didn't have a care in the world? Maybe it was as an infant, teenager, or college years. Maybe it was when you were single or you didn't have a child? Maybe you still don't have a care. A care for other people's opinions of you, more specifically.
This last holiday week has given me the opportunity to examine and reflect on my cares. Some trivial yet some so important.
A new year is approaching: 2012.
My motto and mantra for 2012: Think new Thoughts for the new year!
What are some of your new thoughts for the new year?????? Leave me a comment! Some of mine to follow!!!
Happy New Year to all.

Fall Flat
I took part in the Fall Flat in Staten Island. A 5K run through the trails in Willowbrook Park. That was not exactly that flat with the leaves, tree trunks, mud puddles, and bridges.
I did it
On a whim
With
No training
Because I
Needed a motivator
I
Needed something to look forward to
In the end I felt amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was something I didn't tell anyone about. I didn't ask for a cheering section (even though the DeToma Family was nice enough to great me at the finish line).
I did this for me
I did it
I am not a runner if you don't know me
I really didn't want to run
I found it more difficult than I thought
What helped me?
I did it for me
I had some good music going
The scenery was beautiful
The finish line even more so beautiful
I did it

The person I want to be
I have become that person.
You know that person?
The person I despise.
The person who talks the talk but does not walk the walk (in some instances).
The person who says they are stuck.
The person who quits fighting the fight because it's the easy way out.
The easy way out?
Is there such a thing as the easy way out???
My fellow bloggers, Dori and Jobo, talked about quitting (failure to complete a marathon) and divorce (a failure of marriage), respectively, in their recent posts. These posts made me think (smarter).
Whatever we decision we make, we are not quitting nor are we a failure.
We make decisions because we need to.
Life is made up of gray matter. We no longer live in a black and white world. And some decisions we need to make aren't at all colorful but...
Life needs to be lived.
