I didn’t really give myself any New Year’s resolutions, but this has been my most productive month in a couple years (at least).  Nothing is done so to speak, but everything is in motion.  Going all the way back to my childhood, I’ve always been a ‘big picture’ type, but the flaw in that mindset is thinking about everything that needs to be done to fill that picture.  So I came into this year, asking one question.  From the moment I wake up to the moment I fall asleep, I’m doing a better job asking: what did you do today?

Part of being in motion has meant ending a relationship.  That is never fun of course, but beyond the hurt feelings both sides are happier (so it was time).  I’ve entered the frustrating/exciting part of my life in that sense.  My Captain phrased it perfectly, but since what he said is completely unprintable, I’ll paraphrase: it’s frustrating when things don’t work out the way you like, but it’s exciting to feel God has something even better planned for you.  I’ve got enough on my plate right now though, so that will happen whenever it’s meant to happen.

One month down, 11 to go.  Let’s see if there’s anything that might catch my interest in the next 4 weeks. The Super Bowl, NBA All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles, the Oscars, Black History Month, TV stuff from friends of mine.  And that doesn’t include all the good and bad things that life will throw my way because…that’s life.  One thing at a time though, one day at a time.

What did you do today?
