Vegas

I just don’t get this Vegas thing. ‘Push the button’ ‘Push the button’. Even Maslow’s Monkeys knew better after awhile.

Need to change my life. THink I'll try this

Studies have shown that it takes 21 days of consistent behavior to change a habit or create a new one, such as establishing a regular exercise routine, eating a healthier diet, or taking time each day for self-care. In just 21 days, you can also establish a fulfilling meditation practice that will give you a lifetime of rewards. You may have dipped your toe in the water with limited success, but...

Vietnam.

 Never underestimate the depth of feeling among emigrants' children. To this day, I have lifelong Cuban-American, Iranian-American and Syrian-American friends who refuse to visit their home countries due to the political repression their parents went through. Sad, but what can you do.
Friends: Do you ever think about visiting Vietnam?
Vietnamese-American: No, why would I want to visit a country stupid enough to take on communism?
Me: (Speechless.)
 And Vietnam is one of the places I would die to go to.

Falling Star

And each day is born and we get a second chance. So grateful should we be for this gift; that nothing is final ( except death) and we can redo, rework, replan, begin again.There is no failure, just setbacks. No endings, but new beginnings. No room for hopelessness, just admit the light.

It is just so wrong to have to work the day after Thanksgiving. So I went in late, left early and took a long lunch.

Galore?

Somehow I could just never rent/buy a property where the agent used the word ’ galore’ in the listing. ” Amenities galore!” or ” Windows galore!”. So cheesy. And if hey have to tell you the place is clean’, I don’t want to live there.

I just feel so much better when I read Tumbler entries. Why is that do you think?

Joy of Living

When I was younger, ( in my 20’s) I would wake up, so excited to start a new day. I felt it like a ’ quickening’ inside, a bubbling up of enthusiasm for the new day. Maybe it was just gas.

loveyourchaos: If I could do one thing, if I could have my dream job, it would be to play in a symphony. not that it matters, but I just wanted to say it Mine would be to work in a fabric store, cutting and smelling all that crisp material, wondering what it will be turned into. Possibilities are endless.

Being Yourself

I still believe in the difference between being alone, being lonely and aloneness. Being alone, well it is what it is. Being lonely is being not ok with being alone. But aloneness, ah! It still has the power to excite me with it’s possibilities. No boundaries, no edits, no limits. Try it.

booksbooksbooks: Mitch Albom’s For One More Day and Jane Austen’s Emma. We’ll see if I can get into this audiobook format thing. Also, this is the same library that I recently applied for a job at (I know I have two already but another one really couldn’t hurt). I’m waiting to hear back for the 3rd phase of the application process… interviews. Keep your fingers crossed. =D I have found that...

Failure

means to not do, say, act like we think we should. We set standards, make decisions, then when we ( I ) do not live up to this, I am devastated. The feeling of abject defeat is almost overwhelming. I wonder sometimes if I must fail in order to have to get up again, have a new goal, something to reach for. Will it always be a constant circle, round and round, over and over , the same mistakes,...

Asking a favor?

booktumbling: I have started a book blog. Actually, I started one on blogger and one on wordpress and am not sure which one I like. They are completely different. This is where the favor comes in. If anyone would please take a peek at them and let me know which one you like better, I would greatly appreciate it. Mind you, they are just the basics. I am hoping to umph up whichever one I go...

Lost Dog

My dog is dead. He died a horrible death and I can never ever let it go. I miss him so much. I see him, I hear him, I smell him, I feel his heat, his drool, his head on my lap. And he never meant anyone harm, he just loved and trusted us all.How do I make it right?

givesmehope: While I was working out I realized that I’ve lost over 50 lbs this past year by going to the gym nearly every day and eating right. After 5 years of struggling with my weight and participating in fad diets, I may still be overweight, but I’m finally starting to feel beautiful. It GMH.
