Happy New Year

I thought I would take a break from my war journal entries this week to focus on some other matters

In the new year we always hear about resolutions from people…whether they be to lose weight, quit smoking, eat healthier, etc…. I’ve made some in the past and like most people I was unsuccessful.
The problem I find with resolutions is that there is no repercussions if you do not follow through, no major motivating factor to keep you on the rails no matter how rough things get…

Taking this into account, consulting with the advice of a friend I began to look at the concept of promises and oaths. When you make a promise or take an oath, it’s generally to or for someone else… And if you break this promise/oath you live with it for the rest of your life… Over the years in my life I have made a few promises…. And I’ve kept everyone.. Promises to other people, to look after their interests… So I started thinking… Why not make a promise to myself..

So here goes… I promise to get healthy once and for all.. Physically and Mentally.. This war within has so stop, and only I have the capability to do so.. I promise to work day in and day out to keep this promise.. It’s not going to be easy, i know this. But a promise is a promise and I have to hold myself to it.

So here I go, back into the tunnel.. I can’t wait for you to meet me on the other side.. In the promise land

Happy New Year
