Headed In A New Direction....With Fresh Eyes

This past weekend really took it out of me.  Physically drained from emptying a 10x15 storage unit and moving its contents too and fro, ultimately getting rid of most of it.  Hopefully those things are with people now who could really use them.  As freeing as it was to shed so much 'stuff' from my life, that storage unit contained my married life.  So as I got to go through all that solo, there were the inevitable emotional land mines......exploding right in my face. 

So with that sorting, exploding and shedding behind me, I am looking at this Monday as a fresh start.  New perspective, happier things, happier times.  Enjoy the sun, the fresh air, enjoy life!  And begin surrounding myself with like minded people....as I already have.  This 2011 is still looking damn promising......and I am nothing but optomistic!

"If you have made mistakes, there is always another chance for you.  You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call 'failure' is not the falling down, but the staying down."
-Mary Pickford

NOBODY'S GONNA BREAK MY STRIDE, NOBODY'S GONNA SLOW ME DOWN OH NO IVE GOT TO KEEP A MOVING

Sometimes You Just Have To Laugh

With all the drama that is currently in my life, some of the best advice I've gotten is...."don't you just want to laugh?".  It's true....the drama has not only bordered on the edge of the pool we call ridiculous...the drama did a belly flop into that pool.  And ridiculous has splashed all over the place. I could get into specifics but that is not what MY blog, MY thoughts or MY space should be giving it's attention to....instead....

Life is beautiful. 

Yes.  I said it.  Smoggy, sick filled, downtrodden, catastrophe laden, rainy, cry inducing, scream creating, tear my hair out, panic attack  life.....is beautiful. 



Because, with all the madness....there is beauty here.  I am just grateful that I know this.  This is not a fact i search for proof of anymore...I just know. 

Progress.

Forgiveness means giving up all hope for a better past

I cannot change what is behind me.  I cannot live and move forward all the while looking in the rear view mirror.I cannot predict the future or worry about events that have yet to happen.  All I have is now.
