Less than 7 months to go

March has been hard .... I've lost weight and my eating habits are coming around to mostly healthy choices but keeping a positive outlook had been difficult. There are things that I had wanted to do with my free time and somehow I have frittered it all away - like most of my life to this point (told you March was hard!) I'm easily distracted by television, Facebook games, anything really ... part of this is due to the change at my job with the naturopath - hours worked are sketchy and I'm used more as a babysitter than a housekeeper. Very disappointing but it is making me face what it is that I truly want to do with my life....slowly but surely it's coming into focus. I'm not quite ready to share the specifics yet but it won't be long before I'll reveal all.

March isn't a complete write off - my physical went well - no call back for high blood sugar or cholesterol and I have an appointment with a gastroenterologist in early April to set up my colonoscopy and to monitor my colitis. Income tax is done and money is already in the bank so I have some breathing room to start looking for more work for which I am very grateful. A plan, idea, vision for my future is slowly solidifying and an 'onward and upward' attitude is creeping into my being.

For now I will do what I know will get me to where I need to be - eat well, exercise at least 30 minutes a day, increase my daily meditation and expand my social contacts here in Cambridge (time to join something). Phew! April is almost upon us...
