Life is good

January has been a really good month so far. Work is a little stressful but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. We are interviewing for an assistant for me. Yay! I'm starting to completely obsess about my weight. I've been here before. I don't know what is taking me so long to take action. Can I really be this lazy? I have to figure out how to get my body to listen to my mind. I keep thinking I'm close, but then I let opportunities pass me by. What will be the catalyst?

My goals this year are the same as last year. You know, those goals I didn't work on one single day, despite having reminders pop-up on my calendar. Learn spanish. Organize. And now this year, lose the weight I gained last year. How can I finally get these done? Today, my husband is going to help with the organizing. He has a plan. We will take everything out of our closet and put into piles: purge, donate and keep. Then we'll head to ikea for something to pimp out the closet and make it a useful space instead of just a place to throw the junk we don't know what to do with. I'm excited that he's as frustrated as I am. Part of me thinks it's his support and help that will be the catalyst I'm looking for. Maybe I can convince him to want to learn spanish and then we can do that together. I always do better with his support. Hell, I even sleep better when he's with me.

I'm reading a book that I've been reading for about 2 months now. I started it over last night. Yup, this has happened to me a couple times while reading books. I guess I know I like it if I want to start over. This book isn't completely awesome and taking my breath away like other books I've read. It's a bit verbose. I hate too much description in a book, and this one has a lot of it. So, this second time around reading this book, I'm skipping a lot of the pages because they are just so descriptive. I would rather let my imagination take over in some areas. Just give me the basic description and I'll take it from there. So much time has gone by since I started reading the book, though, that when it started to get good I couldn't remember the basics. So, I started over yesterday. Got through 200 pages just yesterday. Hell, I was on page 850 when i decided to start over... and it took me 2 months to get there. Maybe I'll finish the book this week, but I also have 2000 feeds to read. Talk about being behind! I better get reading...

I feel a change is coming

Happy New Year! As indicated in a prior post, I've been anticipating this day since Halloween. I'm glad it's here and for whatever reason, I have the most positive thoughts for this year. Not for me, my life is great. But, for our country. Things have to change. The country can't keep running with such divisiveness. Our country is filled with such negativity. We can't keep this up, and I have the feeling that more people are feeling this way than just me. I feel a change is coming. I'm certainly praying for one!

Who calls someone at 8:15 in the morning? That's the first question. The second part of the question is, who calls someone at 8:15 in the morning on New Years Day? People don't think, sometimes. That's another problem we have in this world. People don't think... or they are just evil.

Speaking of evil, if you've read my blog before, you've heard me mention Postsecret. Postsecret has had an iPhone app for a few months. Apparently, it's now been closed, because people are either stupid or just mean and heartless. According to Frank, the founder of Postsecret, "Like the PostSecret Blog, the App was designed so each secret was absolutely anonymous. Unfortunately, that absolute anonymity made it very challenging to permanently remove determined users with malicious intent." Sounds to me like it's time to stop the "absolute anonymity", but keep the app. I'm sure the 1% (no, not the rich 1%, but I guess you can lump them in too) are ones that need to be brought to task for their actions! Clearly they don't understand the meaning of life (help one another) and have improper thoughts in their mind, and likely have done something evil at some point. They need to be taught a lesson, to learn compassion and understanding. Of course, I guess that's what Karma is for. But even so, all the more reason to remove "absolute anonymity" from the PostSecret App, and everything else, for that matter. It's one reason I love all the public cameras, and DNA. You can't get away with anything anymore. Your time is coming. Do the right thing, or else! I am the 99% and I wish the 1% would stop making life so challenging! “Those who are not looking for happiness are the most likely to find it, because those who are searching forget that the surest way to be happy is to seek happiness for others.” Martin Luther King Jr.

Last year's words belong to last year's language. This year's words await another voice. To make an end is to make a beginning. I wish you the most happy and glorious new year! May your hopes and dreams come true in 2012.
