just keep swimming

I keep having all these great ideas for posts when I am not at the computer. I, of course, do not write them down and thus, when I return to said computer can think of nothing to write. Sigh. There are things I want to write about but am not allowed to, things that I could write about but that would be so boring to read that my few readers would delete this link in disgust or I could complain about some interesting customer service I've had lately or the stupid January weather but I am not offended enough by wither to bother. That means you are stuck with the following ramblings. I hope they don't drive you away.

I'm feeling a little obsessed lately with the idea of starting over. I don't think I ever recognized how often we do it, both in big ways and small. New years, new challenges, new goals, new seasons, new babies, new lessons, new hardships, new joys. This idea of beginning again must matter. It must be essential to our humanity and to our continued progression, right? Because this time we will get it right, we will do it better, closer to the goal. Even it's just a little closer. So here's my epiphany;

It's never too late.

Never, as long as we are breathing.

I am overwhelmed by the hopefulness of this thought.

And so very grateful.

#8-(sort of unrelated) Take self portraits to find peace with my body, enjoy my youth and health while I have it and to know myself better.
#9 Carry around a notebook to jot down ideas for writing and anything else that I don't want to forget.
