I came to the realization the other day that I was becoming stagnant. My life as of late has been somewhat of a lake with no inlet or outlet -- a tepid pool of scum. Well, maybe that's a little dramatic, but that's sure how it felt. Anyway, this stagnancy was affecting every part of my life -- my personal life, my work and my health. I could feel complacency setting in.

It was time for a life overhaul.

So, I sat down and started the outlines of my "new" life. This included more exercise, a healthier diet, a more organized work schedule, more time with the family and a more positive attitude. Today marks Day One.

Do not worry if you have built your castles in the air. They are where they should be. Now put the foundations under them. - Henry David Thoreau
