Inspiration comes on the Journey Begun

"I applied my heart to what I observed

And learned a lesson from what I saw:

A little sleep, a little slumber,

A little folding of the hands to rest--

And poverty will come on you like a thief

And, Scarcity like an armed man"

~Proverbs 24:32-34

I have this weight that I have put on as a result of stress and poor choices in the past year or so. Every weekend, I tell myself that I will start an exercise/eating plan on Monday. The same is true of a lot of my goals--tomorrow, I will start. The trouble with this reasoning is that it feeds my procrastination, and in the end, the need or goal is left unmet--sometimes, even unattempted.

I started this blog well over a year ago, and yet, it has laid dormant with nothing written on it for most of this time, as I waited for inspiration to write about. Perhaps, the inspiration is to come along the journey. Perhaps, this is true of many of our aspirations. Perhaps, the old adage still speaks an important lesson, "Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can do today." Perhaps, a poverty of sorts can come upon us when we choose to delay. Perhaps, I should start now....
