Welcome world. This is my first attempt at "blogging" and I am not quite sure how this will work out for me. I am a person with many struggles these days. I swear, hit that mid-life point and problems just seem to appear out of no where that make you scratch your head and wonder if you really are starting to get old.
My life has been rather good and have only had 1 major complaint (dad+cancer = major complaint). There have been bumps and bruises along the way and paths taken that I look back and question my judgement in taking. On my last birthday I reflected back on my years and determined I have not changed much. I look the same, dress the same, eat the same, etc. Now, while some of you say "sounds a little boring", I would not tend to disagree, but I feel like I have had my fair share of excitement.
I have always lived my life under the motto of "do unto others as you would have others do unto you". It was my dad's number one saying and it always stuck with me. I have lived by that my entire life, and I think it is one of the best ways to live...treat people like you want to be treated. That part of me will never change. But a few months ago I found the quote "life begins at the end of your comfort zone". I have thought about that one long and hard over the last month. I realize that while I have been happy looking the same, dressing the same, eating the same, I need to find the end of that comfort zone. If I don't start to change those "problems" I mentioned will probably just keep creeping up on me.
There is no time better then the present to start finding the end of my comfort zone. My starting point is getting healthy. I know, easier said then done, but totally possible if you want it bad enough. Last year I lost about 30 pounds and felt like a different person. It was an amazing feeling that I have started to let fade while I reverted back to gaining some of the weight back. So today I promise to start finding the end of that comfort zone to start living life, a phanatical life.
