Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

Somehow, I managed to get almost to Christmas without doing any shopping.  It wasn't really my plan.  I just got caught up in a ton of other things.  The problem with me getting caught up is that exercise wasn't on the top of the list of things I was doing.  I did manage to eat relatively well, but I probably could have been doing that better as well.

Most to the time, I was pretty calm about the whole thing. Not that I'm say that my calmness was good.  There should have been a sense of urgency a little earlier.  Let me be clear, urgency is not necessarily panic.  Avoiding panic is very important.  However, I need to make sure that I am on course to reach my goals.  To realign myself, I had to refocus.

In these time, I need to create the picture of the result and my arrival at that point in a manner that supports my continued growth and development.  While I haven't perfected my approach, it is better and I am taking steps every day to reach all of my goals.  At the moment, my gift getting and giving along with my exercising need my attention.  I'm making progress and thinking and seeing such things working out well.
