Growing up

Since this summer will include the 50th "celebration" of my birth, I wanted to try to spend some time being more intentional in my life, since the first 50 years have flown by. To that end, I've started journaling my "Self-Improvement Project - Save Up and Shape Up". Of course, I need to lose weight (a fairly significant amount), but I also want to pursue anything that improves me, whether that is taking classes, going for a walk, taking a new opportunity to volunteer in something that comes my way, keeping in better contact with friends and loved ones...the list is endless. But I'm looking at that as opportunities, not some onerous burden. I'm eating lunches I bring from home and exercising in my office at lunch - and I feel happy about both, which is quite unusual for me. Maybe I'm finally growing up!
