Over the years, I have set several goals for myself. Some I've met with some measure of success, others... well, failed miserably. One such goal that comes to mind can be found in the thread entitled Diet Time. Oy! By the way, this is still my goal, I just haven't seen it through very well yet. 
I will, though. That's my determination for the coming year.
Anyway, this past year has been an extremely difficult one for me. Not only me, but my family as well. Between family problems, work problems, the stress and pressures of life, and... well, other things, there has been a lot of difficulties here over the last year. Alot of things that, for some reason, are only just recently really starting to eat at me, and causing somewhat of an emotional strain.
Now, I don't mean to be posting this to vent. In fact, I certainly hope to not burden you all with my personal problems. My reason for posting this thread was because I just read something that I'd read before, but didn't really give much thought to.
In the book "It's Not Easy Being Green (and other things to consider)", Lisa Henson is quoted as saying: "(Jim) thought it all belonged together; work and family, kids and adults, fun and projects." A seemingly simple thing to say, and perhaps not the best example for this, but it is filled with wonderful advice. It made me think. Jim always looked at the best in everything, and tried to combine the things he loved with whatever he was doing so the bad didn't seem quite so bad. It's a way that I would like to live my life, and I've set it as another goal. I do believe that there are things in life that are bad no matter how you look at them, but... perhaps this helps us appreciate the good things we have.
As I write this, though, I find myself almost in tears. I'm thinking again of one of those bad from every angle sort of things, and I find it difficult to stick to this goal. It is the way life should be, I think. You should always look for the best in what you have, even if you don't have it. It's something I intend to work on.
