Dreams Deferred...

Well, February has arrived so spring cannot be far behind. I've been reflecting on my life, dreams I've had and goals not yet attained. It's difficult to admit there's only me to blame. If I'd really wanted to finish a book, lose weight, start a small home based business, redecorate my home, etc., I'd have done it. It makes me wonder what the key is. Those who capture their dreams versus those who defer them.

Instead of jumping in with a new plan, I'm examining what it is inside myself that makes me reluctant to be successful in so many areas of my life. Why do I lack the motivation to push through? As I sit writing this, I really just want to crawl back under the covers. I don't even want to read a good book or watch a great film. Perhaps I have a case of the winter blues, but if so, it should pass soon enough.

Even in the midst of this funk, I am reminded of how fortunate I am. I am part of a loving family, I have wonderful friends, and my health is reasonably good. I need to ruminate on what I really want to achieve, and decide what is most important to me. After all, I'm not getting any younger. It's definitely time to make a move.
