Off and Running

This new assignment in this newest of years is different. Marines seek counsel and their leaders encourage it. New thought. If Marines, who are the toughest of the tough, who fear no enemy in combat, if they seek counsel because they know it is good for them, where does that leave the rest of the country? I guess there are long waiting lists at counselors all over the country. People must be working hard at keeping appointments and not letting someone else get their coveted time and day with the therapist. I guess not. But it would be good. There is always room for growth and talking about my life with a professional listener would be good for any of us. Dr. D.

New Year New Start?

Almost everyone looks at the new year as a chance to start over. Problem is the new year isn't new after a few weeks or even only a few days. Starting over is something we decide. Looking squarely at those things that are in our way and setting a plan to remove them. And it doesn't matter if it is health, weight, exercise, school, parenting and the list is probably as individual as individuals are. You know that the treadmills that are purchased for Christmas will be sold at spring yard sales. Was it the New Year's problem? The equipment's? Maybe our own resolve to actually solve a problem the treadmill was supposed to do. So think about it. We can start over anytime, New Year ... or not! Dr. D.
