New Year, Old Resolutions



I haven’t been able to login to my blog account, simply because I couldn’t find the login place on my blog. Anyway, it’s a new year and my birthday happened recently. I turned a healthy number of years and now I am among the age group called MIDDLE AGE. My body is already doing its best to communicate my age to me, as I can no longer do some of the things I used to do with the same energy as before. It is harder to wake up in the morning and football training feels like torture.

On the other hand, I have become more aware of my responsibilities and of the expectations placed on me by my peers and those who look up to me. I cannot attend a wedding without the inevitable question, ‘when are we coming for yours?’ It seems like a long time since I was in high school and now even my post-high school education seems like it needs upgrading. I seem to be wiser, thanks to all the mistakes I made in the past, so now I seem wise because I know what to avoid. 

I haven’t made any new resolutions this year simply because I didn’t fulfill last year’s list of objectives so I need to get that list done this year before I move on to anything else. Top on last year’s agenda was music, so this year will see me focus more on music. Looking forward to what’s on the agenda. I would love to be up and about like every other musician who wants to make a name for him or herself but I find myself relaxing at home and reading books. I know I should feel guilty for doing mostly nothing in the day but I have the gentle reassurance that all this reading will have some use this year. I am in preparation for the music, but I am mostly in repair and servicing. The body is a vehicle and its parts need servicing once in a while. The tough thing about this vehicle is that it has a mind of its own. Help me Lord!
