Start of Something

I think at some point in our lives, we find ourselves not the person we want ourselves to be. I know I am in the position right now. I am not exactly liking what I see in the mirror every morning.

I used to swim 36 laps on an Olympic size pool before. I used to do crunches every other day faithfully. I used to run 5 Km. on the treadmill every other day. I used to do 20 minutes on the elliptical machine.

I need to lose weight.

Apart from that, I feel my spiritual life dwindling. I do not get to hear mass everyday anymore. I am not reading His Word daily anymore. I have even forgone the weekly novenas to Our Mother of Perpetual Help.

I need to reconnect with the Lord.

I used to be wiser and I had brighter outlook. Now I look beyond what I have now and it's glum. I look at the young ones, and I remember how I was.

I ask myself how I have gotten to be this way. I still do not have the answer, but one thing is for certain, I do not want to stay this way.

I need to change.

Tomorrow, like Scarlett O'Hara said, is another day. I hope it will be a different one.
