In order to discover new lands, one must be willing to lose sight of the shore for a very long time.

Quote of the Day
Far away in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them and try to follow where they lead.

Who’s in your Google Reader?
I will admit I definitely one of those people surfing the blog world when I should be working. I have seen so many amazing blogs and online journals, but several blogs out there have caught and held my attention for me to want to have easy access to them whenever they are updated. I don’t have any specific categories that interest me more than others in my google reader. They’re a mix of subjects from the arts, women’s issues, spirituality, and information, but all very insightful. So here’s a taste of my reader list which will be expanding as I continue to new and exciting blogs out there:

The struggle continues
It’s less than a month to my 27th birthday. Unfortunately, my 26th year of life has been a beast. I have several car incidences (crash, break in, break down), school realities (failure, probation, dismissal, re- admittance), life/lifestyle disagreements(mom, move, job, weight, men, break down). Overall, I’m exhausted with the direction my life is going. I know by comparison, my life is pretty blessed, I have a home (for now), I’m healthy (everything works!), and I have a job (eh). I just don’t feel like being here anymore, I want to move and get settled in my life, I want to finish school and be done with it. I don’t want to work, I have things to learn and work is just getting in the way! I feel trapped and I know I’m trapped, so I try to make the best of the situation, but the best still isn’t good enough.
Sorry, I needed to get that out.
My goals for September so far :
- Post at least one positive thing everyday
- Keep up my homework for all my classes
- Exercise everyday
- Try not to cry for the rest of the month
- Keep in touch
- Eat healthy
- Work on the business
- Go somewhere different for my birthday
Face your deficiences
Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them; but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight.

No Coffee, So far so good
No coffee since Tuesday, I’m still ok. I have avoided the caffeine fueled frothy goodness for two days. Now I need to add to that list, no cookies and no vending machines. I think I just exchanged vices. 3 diet goals to next Tuesday. It hasn’t been too bad yet, but we’ll see my attitude on Monday.
I got a call from my realtor about a woman interested in renting my house, but she has two rotweilers. First I had the couple with the pitbull and now this lady. Doesn’t anyone have dogs without vicious reputations anymore – like a poodle or a cocker spaniel.
Goal for the Week
After a really good look in the mirror, it became more obvious to me to that I really need to make a health goal. I am lacking in the discipline department, so I am starting out small. No coffee for the rest of the week. No Starbucks or Panera or any other random coffee place that may cross my path. No coffee. I can do this. This will not only cut down on unecessary calorie intake, but also save me some cash. A positive to effect for my money goal. Exercisewise, I would like to go to the gym everyday this week, but I’m a little behind in school work due to my car getting broken into and all my homework being stolen. I just received the books that I had to reorder to complete my assignments, so I better get cracking on those this week. To even have time to go to the gym I would have to wake up super early and go before work, which I haven’t worked up the actual gumption to do yet. That will be my next week goal, but for now let’s just tackle the coffee.
