Today I started my 365 Alive program. What is it? Every day, for 365 days, I will do one of five things:
1) Walk 30 minutes or do other comparable exercise for that length of time. I have to get healthy and get my diabetes under control before it kills me or does more damage than it already has. I will also continue the Potato Famine and Walking to Jericho and soon add the Soft Drink Famine.
2) Promote my books: Murder by the Acre, Murder by Dewey Decimal, Endless, and the forthcoming Murder by the Mile and/or work on my other writings at least 30 minutes a day. It's time for me to get real about the dream.
3) Deepen my spiritual life by reading the Bible. I'm starting in the New Testament and going to read it all the way through in 2009. It's been years since I've undertaken such a study. Time to do it again.
4) Continue to make positive steps on my debt reduction plan.
a) It is within my grasp to pay off my last two credit cards this year. (This might not be possible due to the medical bills I'm currently having to incur, but I'm only using one card to pay those so I can pay off the other one.)
b) I will also work on building a six-month emergency fund.
c) I will continue to work on getting health insurance. Surely somewhere there's some company who take a diabetic. I know it will help if I get my weight and blood sugar under control. I'll just keep trying.
d) I will stop being afraid of success. More on this in the months ahead as I wrestle with this issue.
5) To be arranged. I'm sure there will be some other issue that I will need to deal with. I'm leaving room for it to be put in place.
There you have my 365 Alive plan. I bought a daily planner and am in the process of writing a "To Do" item on each day. What do you think of my plan? And what are your resolutions for the new year? Talk to you later!

Happy New Year Tech :)
Happy New Year. It's a plan, and if you work it, it will work for you.
And, why, yes, I do have Murder by the Acre, thank you. It arrived lovingly and securely wrapped by the Lulu crew.
Can't wait for Murder by the Mile. No pressure, of course.
