as the most recent year tacked onto my time draws to a close, perhaps a moment's pause is in due order. expectations were high - they always are - and for the most part, unmet. don't get me wrong, things certainly have not been bad, but i still long for the passing of the clouds, the taming of the poles, the promise of something more. i feel now i am at a fork, one i've been at many times, but constantly wind up on the same trail. sometimes i start down the one i know i need to be on, only to cut back to the more familiar, for their is comfort in the familiar. each day is a new opportunity to start anew but for some reason we mark beginnings with particular dates of some predetermined significance. so what do i resolve to on this day of unspectacular meaning? eat better ride more smile more build confidence work less think less go with the flow plan more react less eliminate should be ok with not being ok
arrive at the destination having enjoyed the journey
