How many times has this happened?

How many times have you made up your mind that you would do something, and you did it? You made a plan and followed through. Nothing stood in the way of your resolve. Well, if you look at the post that I created September the 20th, you will see another failed resolution. I hate New Year's Resolutions because I know this about myself: I don't keep them. I tried not to call my lifestyle choices "a diet" for fear that it would fail. I am still off of sodas, but the salad thing got old. Even the exercise is old, and it really shouldn't be. I love doing that chi kung, but I'm slowing down.

I'm not looking to excuse myself of the conviction that was present in September. I'm actually trying to encourage myself to get back to it.

I looked back over the posts I created, and here is the update.

Work... I like what I do. Commission sales is fun and profitable. The nature of what I do on a daily basis leaves a great deal of time between customers. I am still looking (and I have a few leads) for a way to use that time to write for money.

Fitness... See the first two paragraphs of this post.

Family... My girl is growing more and more headstrong. She is determined to question everything, and I glory in the wonder with which she approaches life. I'm also more aware now of what Jesus means when He talks about the faith of a child. God, Jesus, and Heaven are in many if not most of the conversations she has.
My wife loves teaching. She is a natural. I've spoken with a number of her colleagues, and they think the world of her. She lights up when she talks about what she does, and it even makes me think that Math might be fun to learn (from her at least).

I'm not really sure why I stopped to write here accept that I can not sleep and needed to get a few thoughts together in order to make up mind about some stuff. Perhaps I'll unscramble my mind enough to be more specific about it later, but it looks like I'm past the writer's block.
