Beginning again.............

............and here we are - Phew! Another new year. So this is the time of new beginnings, new promises, fresh starts, and good intentions. This is the time that we all can make changes without scrutiny. When asked why..........it's a New Year!! Maybe we can start something new that we've never done before without strange looks - and when asked why............it's a New Year!! People - this is the time to do what you've been wanting to do but didn't have the nerve - or was putting off!

And so you ask - What are you going to do? Fair question. I really think i'm going to look for contentment in 2010. Now, "contentment" paints a pretty broad spectrum so I guess I need to ask myself contentment in what? My job? My finances? My relationships? My family? Not really sure - maybe i'm not so much looking for contentment as I am a calm within. Whoa - where'd that come from?............that's deep. Let's move on---------->So how are you going to find this calm? Another good question. And I have absolutely no clue. One practical step that I am taking this year is to get a handle on my finances. A friend has developed a workable budget that I am determined to follow. (And I mean for longer than January 23rd which is typically around when most resolutions start to fail) Will this bring that calm i'm looking for? No, not completely but I think it'll be a good start.

I really believe though for any type of success that any of us are going to have we need to have support - or at least someone who will listen. So.........................you all get to be the lucky ones - lol! This is my other step towards the calm (sounds like a line from Ghost Whisperer) - this blog - this lava flow of thoughts, feelings, and opinions oozing from my being and spreading who knows where. You - if anyone has actually found this and even more, is reading this - you are invited to join my flow, my journey, my adventure. "A Life in the Day" Each day, or at least several times a week, I want to just chat about or explore life. I probably won't know what i'm going to explore until I buckle in and start to move but this I do know - if I don't send my mind on an adventure soon i'm going to implode and burn out. You can tag along for a little while or the entire voyage. I'm just not sure when i'm going to dock. Anyways - that's what this is going to be so just hold on and lets see where we go!

Let's start this journey by cheering up. If we think we've had a bad day then read this story - here's the link:
