I am David Spiegel and this is 2020

"Reflect upon your blessings, of which every man has plenty, not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some."

Charles Dickens

I mentioned the other day that the new year did not bring a plethora of BHAGs with it (Big Hairy Audacious Goals). For me it was more like business as usual. Of course business as usual for me means always working towards being a better representation of me today than I was yesterday. As 2019 was ending, I found myself stumbling towards some imaginary finish line.It felt like that stumbling started in October and continued to build momentum right up until New Years Day.When you stumble things get out of control. First there's that falling feeling. Then things seem to speed up. Soon,your arms are flailing and before you know it you are completely out of control.

In this case,I have to be encouraged that I didn't fall flat on my face. Somehow, I managed to catch myself and regain my composure. At least enough to avoid a fall.Now it's time to right the ship. It's time to take control of all of the little and not so little things that came off of the rails during my year end stumble.

You know the little things like health,finances,self-improvement,appearance,mind set,fitness,and writing. Yes,writing!

All of those little things which right about now aren't feeling so good to me. It's time to get back to paying attention. Time to be present in my own life.Time to lead my life not let life lead me.
