Kicking myself

My New Years Resolution is to try and transcend the nonsense that occupies my mind and is peripheral to Maxie's death.  I am only seven days in and it is already proving to be incredibly hard.  That being said, I don't have space for it.  I really don't.  Especially because I have other goals I am working on that need my head to be in the game.  Under the best of circumstances, it is hard to not get caught up in all of the chatter that happens inside, outside and around each of us every single day.  My circumstances are not the best but that is why it is even more important for me to focus on the positive.  Sometimes I just need to give myself a little kick to get my focus back.  Let's consider this post my kick for the day.
