I took a week off from work that translated into 11 days. During my vacation I visited family, read, went to the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville, TN and drove to New Found Gap in the Smoky Mountains National Park. I played games with games with family and friends, ate drank and was merry.

I did not write in my journal, sit meditation, go to the gym, nor do any thing Just for Today. I was on vacation. I slept in every day and didn’t worry or think about accomplishing anything. For me, that is why vacations are limited to one week. I can only live so long without direction.

One of the first articles when I got home was how to live without New Years Resolutions. Honestly it sounded unrealistic; and it is for goal oriented individuals such as myself. Unless of course you are in recovery from living life to the extreme with to do lists and feeling worthless if nothing is accomplished and checked off your to do list.

Just for Today I will go to the gym and enjoy a healthy diet. I am half way through the book The Spectrum by Dr. Dean Ornish and it makes total sense – the choice is always mine.
