"The time is always right to do what is right." Martin Luther King Jr.

Looking for quotes that inspire me has done exactly that!  This quote jumped off the page at me.  Dr. King is totally correct.  We need to do what is right.

That started me thinking.  It is easy for me to do the right thing when I want to do it.  Not so great otherwise.  Thoughts just started pouring through my mind of places where I fail every day.  Spending too much, eating too much, and lots more.  This discipline thing is going to lead me to places I really need to go, but probably don't want to!

I could easily get overwhelmed by all of the changes I need to make so I'm going to just do another baby step and work on one.  Getting up earlier nagged my mind immediately. I have a tendency to stay up late and sleep in now that I am retired.  This is my first step.  I am going to make a change in that.  It will be healthier for me in many ways, I'm sure.

I'm not sure how to get this blog known.  I don't want to bug my friends.  For now I'm just going to trust in God that He will lead the people here that I need to interact with.  People that will help me along this journey.

If you are out there, are you putting your change in a bank, too?  So far so good for me on that baby step.  It felt good doing it the very first time.  Now I'm sad if I don't have any change at the end of my day.  :D  That bank already had some money in it, because for a long time I have put any change I find in the laundry in it.  I wish I would have started with the bank empty, but oh well.  It already feels heavy and that is exciting!

Good luck with becoming more disciplined.  I'm with you in spirit.

  1. I find it rather offensive that you are seeking discipline. :) I believe that is illusive for me too. Power to you sis. I pray this will be beneficial for each intention God has for it...maybe even me. I LOVE you so much. Grow.
