When it’s time to change…
it’s time, man. What is happening in my life is that I’m slowly getting used to the idea of not trying so hard to fix everything. Yeah, it sounds simple and in truth, it is…somehow my intellectual side seems to get strongarmed by my emotional side. Heady stuff for someone who was once known as “Spock” in my family. Yep, logic, man. Logic…it’s the way to go most of the time. So, I’ve been looking at some things that need to change in my life. Patterns that have become so bloody familiar that I’ve just let them reign for far too long.
I’m sure you guys can relate. I keep saying that my one goal is to be the happiest person on the planet. It’s still my goal. I still choose to find happiness in the mundane because it’s less complicated.
Today, though…whoo, I had some challenges. Fueled by caffeine. Yep, I had the caffeine paranoia. It colored my judgement. It made me nuts. Had to call my best friend to talk me down. That event caused me to assess my behaviors.
I’ve GOT to participate in my life on a real level. It’s not going to serve me to continue to walk on this path with the dead bodies of my poor decisions strapped to me. SO kids…I’m moving toward some new patterns. I’m keeping myself healthier. I’m eschewing (bless you) the negative speak from the committee. They tend to tell me that I’m not realizing my full potential. (Actually, that part is sorta true) Instead, my choices are to look at my challenges with a glad heart instead of with remorse. Let’s see how it works.
Remember the Pollyanna Challenge? Let’s get it together. Let’s support one another. Let’s make those changes in order to move forward. Success, happiness…pure joy–they’re ours for the taking.
It’s time to change. For the better.
Keep on rockin’. You’re loved.

It’s inspiring that you are doing your reflecting and such before January 1, as do most folks.
I’ve had about three such pondering times this ywar and now I just need to stick to my guns.
I really do need to call you. I have been working on an all-consuming graphic project with my sister in an effort to give cheap, yet marvelous Christmas gifts for family.
