Today is a New Day

Today I woke up feeling tired and blah. I am not sure there is another way to describe it, I just felt blah. On my way to work I promised myself I would go for a walk today. It was warmer outside today than it was yesterday and even if there was snow on the ground I decided I could handle it. In fact I decided I needed to handle it. I needed something to make me feel better and I hoped a walk would do it.  I told to myself even a 10min walk would be ok, I just needed to get out there. So for lunch I had some soup and then off I went to walk to the coffee shop. I don't drink coffee but I needed a destination. It is much easier to walk to a destination when in reality you have no motivation to walk except for the reason of you know your body needs to move. I walked for about 5min and all of a sudden I caught myself smiling - YES smiling! I chuckled, I guess moving does do the body and mind some good.

On my walk back from the coffee shop I decided to start this blog today. I've been thinking about it for a while but I had not taken the time to do it yet. I needed to come up with a name and how was I going to do it. What was I going to write about? Who would want to read? There were a lot of questions but today I decided all those things would fall in to place.

A while back I wanted to start writing a book. I wanted to share my journey of being a single person in life and in the Catholic church. I also wanted to share what I have learned about Theology of the Body by Pope John Paul II and the single life and how it fits in to seeing my own inner and outer beauty - and yours too! (We are all so beautiful! But that's another blog posting) I wanted to share and help others with the lessons I have learned over the years. The thing is, I had no idea where to start writing a book and I wasn't even sure I had enough material to write a whole book. From what I hear a book takes a lot of pages! So, I have decided I will practice right here on the internet. I will simply write blogs and articles to share my journey in hopes God can use my stories to help others.

Thank you for joining me on this journey. I hope to hear a lot from you as I post my thoughts and processes. Here is a quote from a song that I love by David Thies, "I can't say it's going as planned, but still one beautiful journey." And that my friend is more than true! I may have woken up tired and blah this morning but tonight I look at the snow outside and love how bright it is. I look forward to meeting you along the path.

God Bless.
