About Me

My life as a multimedia artist, poet and creative writing instructor has brought me to a deep awareness of nature's importance in my life. Beginning each day with a walk in a wildlife sanctuary keeps me healthy and spiritually centered. I look forward to sharing my experience with others through my blog, Quiet Waters.

Another New Beginning

Where did January go? 
It seemed so long on the frigid days and long nights, yet now that it's gone, I wonder how it slid by so quickly.

If you were like many people in our part of the world, you made New Year's resolutions in January.
 How did the first month of resolve go for you?
 Did you live up to the high expectations you set for yourself? 
Or, did you loose your will somewhere along the way? 
Don't be too hard on yourself if it is the latter.
 It is so easy to set out to change... to plan for it...to think about it....to want to do it.
 But often, we make New Year's resolutions that expect too much for too long. 
What we need, is a daily resolution. 
One that will fit. 
One we can make happen, just for today.
Then, when we succeed.....because, we can succeed doing anything for twenty-four hours....we may decide to renew, or not renew the resolution, tomorrow.
 We don't need to think about the rest of the month or the remainder of the year.
 It's today that counts.
Give yourself a new beginning... every day.
