I read a book titled "Morning Notes" on the train every morning on my way to work. Each day I read just a short nugget and, if I have time, muse about it in my journal.

I have been a yo-yo dieter, a diets-don't-work fan, and a I-just-don't-give-a-damn eater over my 43 years. This year I've made it a goal to eat more healthy and get more physically active. . . .

One of the comments made to my article on Intentions reminded me of the old saying, "The path to hell is paved with good intentions." I grew up hearing that, but this time it made me pause.

For some reason, I have become more aware, and more anxious, over negative events, images, ideas. They really whig me out. They settle into my bones as if the action/emotion was happening to me.

We all look at the world and draw conclusions based on what we see. Sometimes we draw inaccurate conclusions because of what we don't see. This fact was never made more obvious to me than it did this . . .

Recently I've noticed I'm being bombarded with a new way of looking at life. It's coming to me from different sources, but they are all saying the same thing.

I've been in a couple of discussions lately about ethics and morals. Most people swing to one side or the other on these things. Some are black and white -- by the book, the letter of the law. Others . . .

Cinnamon never ceases to amaze me. She's always curious about one thing or another. She cocks her head from side to side as you talk to her trying her best to decipher your language. Ears perk up straight . . .

2005 was a year of pain and loss for me. Three deaths of family members left me with a lot of grief, but also a motivation to not take life for granted.
