A fresh start

 A fresh start


Today marks the first day of the year. Today is the day you make a decision on how you want 2023 to be remembered. A fresh start is what your brain mentally needs to start making some big changes. When you feel like you have a clean slate it is easier to start following paths you have never been on. One of the hardest things to do for me is developing where I want to start. I have all these big plans I wish to accomplish this year but which comes first? What do I dedicate my time to? It is all about rediscovering what you really want. 


This year I want to become more open to new experiences. This goal is loaded with possibilities of things I could do. To focus this goal I must make achievable, realistic actions I can take to make progress toward being more open. For this specific goal, I need to establish daily actions, benchmarks to hit, and review times to really make progress. A daily action could include planning to do one thing out of my comfort zone each day. At the end of each day I would review to see if I did something out of my comfort zone. Then, I would create an amount of days in a row that I would need to hit. Once I achieved this, I could review and see that I am making progress. That is a basic start to working on one goal each day. After that becomes easy, I would supplement with more goals. 


The biggest thing to realize at this point is that you can choose to be whoever you wish to be this year. You have complete control over the trajectory of 2023. It is up to you to decide what you want this year to become. Develop your goals, take actions, and review progress. With this simple system dreams can become reality.

  As if they’d never end I can feel the end begin Just as it did before I walked out, shut the door Won’t step foot there anymore Flashbacking, backtracking To warm water splashing As the sand swirls And I hold you close to me Because I know it makes you feel Like it makes me feel Now it’s realer And faces once familiar Have become distant characters In our memories of yesterday Where was I? Did I find what I tried to find? Because in some ways I feel blind To the thoughts of my younger mind Somewhere in the meantime I got caught up in this screen time Lost the deeper meaning Just following the street signs

  “You coming or what!?” My sunburnt eyelids slowly opened to the same bright sun as always. Half my body hung over the side of the bus stop bench. I still felt hazy from last night’s fix. “Dude, I’m doing you a favor here!” I looked up to be blinded by a bright red car holding up traffic at the intersection. Horns were blaring behind him as he scolded me from the car. It seemed like the horns didn’t even bother him as he sat back in his seat with his head nearly touching the roof and his eyes stuck on the dirty windshield in front of him. Confused as to what was happening, I got up and cleared the dust from my eyes. I grabbed my bag and made my way over to the dented passenger side door of that red car. He rolled the window up and let out a deep sigh as I approached.  “It’s Sam, how ya doin?” “Hey I’m M-” “It’s not short for anything either, it’s just Sam. What you feelin man?” “I’m, uh, I’m pretty, uhhh-” “Music, man, music!” He slammed his hand on the steering wheel. “What ...

Sometimes I still feel like Mentally I am here Sailing to shore with the wake Maybe I wish I was Maybe it’s just my way To escape Whatever it is- Who cares? Because when there are waves I don’t even notice Because the sun shines Bright, where the trees break And the waves are no longer danger Instead they fade into The sounds of the lake Superior to be 19, Grand Marais 20 whatever I feel it everyday Seagulls squawk But to me they say Happy birthday Even though it’s just another Ordinary day Though a sky like this Doesn’t just make for another day … When life was a mess I never even prayed When I had no faith You still showed your face And I still think about it Every single day.
