'For we are mistaken when we look forward to death; the major portion of death has already passed. Whatever years be behind us are in death's hands.' Seneca

Another New Year...
It's the occasion of another New Year. A time for resolutions. A time for introspection and sentimentality. This time, I got nothing. I don't have any ideas about resolutions. I've already meditated on the melancholy of the holiday season. My history of resolutions as written in this blog have been predictable. I always need to lose weight. I always have some goal in mind that just won't work with my occupation. I am always getting a good start and never following through. I don't see this as a failing, just the nature of living. Some seasons make discipline easier. And other seasons make it impossible. My weight loss over since 2006 is more than my body weight. My training for the various events I've wanted to do has always been thwarted by some health issue. SO I'm not making any resolutions this year. I've got plenty of things to do on the calendar that will be enough enjoyment for any year. So if there is any goals for 2015 it would be to do those things and enjoy each living day.
