Carpe Atumnus (Seize the Season)

I'm gonna lose 25 pounds by Summer!

I am going to finally get this place organized

By Christmas I will have paid off all my bills and have a little extra to spend on gifts

This is the year I go on safari and learn Italian

Well, 2011 is now 3/4 over.  How many of your do-or-die resolutions have been implemented?  I myself have somehow ended up sleep walking through the entire year to date.  At first I thought I just missed Summer - then I realized I'd more or less lost the bulk of the year!

It is tempting to just shrug off the rest of the year and allow it to be swallowed up by the impending holidays.... OR...... you can use this new season as a new start.  Can you imagine approaching New Year's Day with a project or two ticked off your tasks list, a lowered credit card balance and a better relationship with your bathroom scale under your belt? 

This morning I went through a couple of bags that had been stashed in the closet and started a new fitness tracking program using MyFitnessPal.  I have not eaten well so far today but hey, the day isn't over yet!  Before I turn in for the night I plan to do something ANYTHING nominally physical as well as do some recreational reading, even if it's only a page -- it's been far too long.

So who's with me?  Are you ready to embrace this glorious new season and make it your own?  If so, come share your quarter's aspirations on Facebook.  Next on the list - taking time to enjoy the awesome beauty of Autumn's foliage.
