" Good things only happen when you're in motion." 

~ Dan Sullivan

Life can get a little bit crazy at times. Last week as Friday approached, I found that I had no plans ,nothing pressing that needed attending to and the real opportunity to just take it easy.

My calendar was so empty that I was actually a little uncomfortable at the prospect of doing nothing.

Somehow, I summoned up the intestinal fortitude to do just that....do nothing!

Even more surprising is that I made it through the weekend!

This week when the Sun rose on Friday , things were quite different.

By the time my feet hit the floor on Friday morning, I was behind the proverbial 8-ball.

I spent the entire day scrambling from one task to another.

My running around started before 8 and did not end until we sat down for Shabbat dinner.

And that was just a break in the action which actually continued throughout the day on Saturday.

By 9 o'clock Saturday night I was in bed ,and I never saw 9:15 on the clock.

Today ,I was up at 6, in the gym by 7 and on my first bus run by 8:30.

It's a little past noon right now.

I have a little bit more than 2 hours before I have to head back to the center to start bringing people home.

Not necessarily  a relaxing 2 hours.

I still am without a car. It's been over 5 weeks and although we have managed, and everyone has helped out, I must find a set of wheels sooner than later.

(Once I find a car, then I can figure out how to pay for it!).

Still I really felt that I needed to take a few minutes to write to you.

As you can see,its been 2 days since I last wrote and if I don't make the conscious choice (read COMMITMENT),to do something, life ends up getting in the way.

Good habits quickly become bad habits.

One day becomes 2 days , then 23 days, then a week , then a month and before you know it instead of heading in a positive direction, I am sliding down the slopes in the wrong direction.

Speaking of commitments. Today I went back to the gym.

My commitment to myself is every day , after my morning route to head directly to the gym daily for the rest of the week. 

Months of inactivity have truly taken a toll on me. 

Starting over always sucks.

Still if I don't start over nothing will change.

The Journey of 1000 miles begins with .....yep a single step.

So here I go again,REstarting,REtracing, REpairing and REcommitting.

All of these RE's.....that will eventually deliver positive REsults!

Shavua Tov!
