When the train leaves the station

I heard the train this morning, just like I hear it every morning.

It rumbles through the woods at the end of the street at the same time my alarm sounds ... 5 o'clock sharp. Every day.

Some days I wake before the alarm and hear the train, some days I hear it after the alarm. But they always sound within seconds of one another.

This morning it made me think of New Year resolutions ... and how I've decided I'm not going to make any.

No, instead, I'm going to make like the train and create a schedule. And stick to it.

There's a schedule when the train leaves and when it arrives. No vacillating. No saying, "Eh, I think I'll hang here for another hour or so and leave when I'm ready."

That's how it gets from one place to another.

There are places I want to go (literally and figuratively) and hobbies I want to try, and the only way to get there is to stick to the schedule and the plan. Sure, things may change and adjustments can be made, but once it's decided, the train will leave the station when it's suppose to.

Are there places you want to go? Let's get there together.


All aboard!
