That’s Gratitude for ya!

The Powers That Be have decreed that today and is Gratitude Day! I know it to be true because I’ve been hit over the head with it several times today, and it’s not even noon! I was reading my friend MOCOHOLO’s blog today and she was talking about attitude and it really reinforced that attitude […]

Help out the PTB!

You all know my fondness for the PTB… those external forces that send small signals and signs that we’re on the right path, that we need to take heed. Of course, sometimes they wield a ClueX4 to smack you upside the head with a lesson you didn’t pay attention the first 50 times. But today, […]

Active Rest Weekend

“Life is not static; it is dynamic. Whether we like it or not, our tomorrows will be different from our todays. “W.L. Barth So, yeah… was an interesting weekend. I rested, but yet didn’t. It was awesome! It was actually a little scary how easy it was to not rush to the gym, or get […]

Change in the air

Yesterday, a friend of mine made the comment that it felt like change was on the wind. I made some witty response about breaking wind and on we went with a different conversation. Yeah, I know… deep, huh? But the truth is, there is a lot of change going on with me and I’m having […]

It’s Cranky Thur-Wednesday

The short weeks confuse me. It’s Wednesday, but yet it’s Thursday, only a day away from the weekend… And I was all ready to resign myself to a grumpy, apathetic week and then the stoopid PTB did it again… From the Healthy Reflection “Happiness is a state of mind, not a way of life or […]

::Flick::

So the healthy reflection today really hit me over the head, especially with the entry from last week about working with my issues. It’s so easy to let our personal limitations shut us down, or use them as an excuse. Making peace with ones limitations is a difficult thing, especially when those limits are constantly […]

Hate that…

I’ve been getting too many flicks in the head from the PTB, and today’s “healthy reflection” kept it coming… “If you met yourself, would you want to stick around and talk? Are you the kind of person others can be proud of?” There’s lots of times I think I’m not someone I would want to […]

::flick::

again with the PTB flicks to the head… from yesterday’s Healthy Reflection: “If you spend too much time working on your weaknesses, all you end up with is a lot of strong weaknesses. – Dan Sullivan, business coach Playing to your strengths It’s tempting isn’t it? It’s so much easier to see what’s wrong with […]

Owch in another way…

Stoopid PTB, and their incessant flicking in my head. Read the “going through the emotions” article in the wellness section and got flicked. This part really stood out: “You can be the hammer, making things happen, or you can be the nail that sits there and gets pummeled over and over. “ Then the community […]

A PTB Flick in the head

I have been so frustrated lately… feeling really lumpy, like all the fat is literally *hanging* on me… ya know, in that Disney’s Ursula the Sea Witch kind of way – all roll-y & undulating… bleh. And then frustrated because I haven’t gone for my walks at lunch either because something else was going on […]
