Chapters of my Life
Chapter 1
I walked down the sidewalk and
fell into a deep hole.
I couldn't’t get out and I couldn’t figure out why.
It wasn’t my fault.
It took a long time to get out.
Chapter 2
I walked down the sidewalk and
fell into the same hole again.
I couldn’t understand.
It wasn’t my fault.
This time it was easier to get out.
Chapter 3
I walked down the sidewalk and fell into the same hole again.
This time I understood why and it was my fault.
This time it was easier to get out.
Chapter 4
I walked down the sidewalk and saw the same big hole.
I walked around it.
I didn’t fall into that hole.
Chapter 5
I chose another sidewalk

Why is it I seem to be stuck...stuck in about Chapter 3, although I don't know if it is any easier to get out. My exercise has been pathetic, my eating also pathetic. My will to change it is strong one moment and weak the next. I have so many things I want to do but can't seem to follow through with the things I need to get there. Is it winter? Is it loneliness? Is it depression? Is it just plain lazy? I can do it, I know I can. I must do it. One day at a time. Everyday you make the right choices and do the things that need to be done it becomes easier to do it again the next day. I can do it...I will do it....
