New beginnings

My life has changed greatly in recent times. Yesterday in particular, which was a day I can never forget. Some of these changes have been for good, some for bad. Yet despite the magnitude of the changes so far, greater changes are yet to come. I have before me a quest. Not set by myself, yet it is mine nonetheless. I must become a new man. My life focus and direction must be redrawn. I have known that these changes have been necessary, and approaching, for some time, but never before have I been so mindful of the urgency that they hold. Time is a precious and fleeting gift, and I am learning to appreciate it and make the most of what I have.
Over time I have departed from that which I know is true, from that which I have given my life. I have let slide relationship, values and wisdom and embraced hollowness and refuse. And I have paid, and continue to pay for those choices. My new path, which shall lead toward my quest, is one of good choices. Right choices. I need to make sure I keep to the path as well, because it will be all too easy to stray. May God help me maintain my bearings.
