Re-thinking

I've been rethinking some actions I have set in motion.

I've always believed that the connections you make indelibly change the person that you are or the path that you are on or both. I do still believe that. But, I also have learned that first appraisals of a connection don't always hold as accurate. As time passes and relationships change and lengthen, often they take on more or less meaning than they had when they were young and new.

It makes me sad when I think of those people who were once so important to me, realizing that I haven't thought of them at length for quite some time.

Then there are the new relationships. There are two that I didn't put much stock into, that have been a welcome and lovely surprise. There is one that I have put much effort and care into that is quite lovely and unpredictable. Then there is one that I had high hopes for. It appears that I have placed my faith in a false hope. It isn't the first time and, I am assured, won't be the last time.

I am re-thinking my actions and priorities today. But, enough thinking...it's time to get to the gym.
