I’ve been thinking about this quote all week.

It seems to be the theme in our household or at least the topic that keeps coming up between Adam and I — how to get the most out of this life?

Decision come fast and come often. If you really stop to think about how many decisions you make in a day it could paralyze you (or at least it would for me. I am not great at decisions), because the decision we make put us on a certain path. Even a simple decision like what to eat for breakfast has an impact. If we choose something healthy we get our metabolism going and are satisfied until lunch and will most likely keep on that path at least for that day. If we choose not to eat studies show you eat more later in the evening (I have definitely proved those studies right), which would perhaps keep you up at night. Of course we all know what that means for the following day. And if you continue this same routine day after day imagine where you will be? Probably tired, worn out with little energy for the things you love. I’m hypothesizing here as I am not a nutritionist, just giving an example of how one little decision can impact your path.

Sometimes I go back and look through my photos and ponder what has changed from this year to the next. Besides the passing of time how can I distinguish this year? What sets it apart? I have been slightly discouraged as I can often say nothing. It’s not that I feel like I don’t have a good life or crave a different one, quite the contrary. I love where I am at and the life I live and the people I live it with, but I am not changing. Ok, I should qualify that statement because I do feel like I am changing in some ways. I am living life and am having experiences that are making an impact on me. What I am trying to convey, and probably doing a poor job of is, if we continue to do what we’ve always done we are going to get what we’ve always gotten. In 20 years I’ll look older, but will I have progressed any farther if I continue to do the same thing I did yesterday?

I don’t believe I will.

Life will be different in many ways in that my girls will have moved on, perhaps married, perhaps I will be a grandmother, I hope I will be a grandmother, but I will not have grown. I venture I will still be pondering on these same topics. In fact, I’m almost certain I will. This year I will have been blogging for 10 years. As I was working on this website I would on occasion look through some of my older posts and was astounded at how many of my thoughts are still the same. I’m not sure if it’s because I have yet to learn the lessons or have yet to find an answer, but many of the frustrations I had then are still plaguing me today just in a different way.

Maybe it will always be this way, that my weaknesses will always be my weaknesses, I know we have them for a reason and I will in one form or another always struggle with them, but I do believe unless I shake it up, really STRIVE for progress, I’m going to be same woman in 2025 and that’s not ok with me.

This year is not just about living, it’s about living (or perhaps I should be saying STRIVING) with a full heart with intent and purpose.

Will you join me on this journey of living the best this life has to offer?
