Seeing as the last post to this blog was a long, long time ago and in it, I promised to blog a lot more it’s only fitting that I get around to posting something now. Goodness knows I tweet everyday!

Good intentions usually come about when well-meaning people promise things to others in the hopes of keeping something going. I am well-meaning to a fault at times so I’ve come to realize that I really do need to enact some restraint in getting involved in too many things to ensure that certain things don’t suffer. As much as I’d love to participate in everything that’s going on, balance is my mantra and finding that balance can be so difficult.

No 2009 resolutions. No giant revelations. Just hoping to have some simplicity this year balanced with accomplishments, learning and helping people in their own personal growth without losing sight of my own. Oh and more blogging – less tweeting. I’m certainly not the first to say this…

Not too much for a girl to ask is it?

Not to sound like a Hallmark card but life does take us where we need to be. All of the choices and decisions we have made over the years have helped to get us to be where we are.

Whoa.

What if we’re unemployed? Stuck in a dead end job or under appreciated by our Dilbert-esque overlords?

You are right where you need to be.

No. This isn’t some kind of Neuro-Linguistic Programming and I’m not going to make you repeat this mantra. Think of it this way. Every experience we go through leads us to a deeper understanding. Understanding of situations, other people and ourselves. Even the really cruddy things that present themselves in our life can be opportunities for growth and change.

If you’ve gotten where you are without reflecting on all that surrounds you, then I’d encourage you to examine your previously unexamined life. Starting NOW!

If you still feel genuine suckage about where you are at, then watch the live puppy cam. That’ll lift your spirits.
