Ok, this is what I am normally lucky enough to
see here. Instead today and for most of the weekend
it's going to be rainy and yucky. I feel fortunate
that I'm not dealing with the snow and cold that
many are dealing with, but even so that doesn't
make me have to like it! :)
Hope everyone has a great holiday and that
you make your resolutions for 2007 come true!

In keeping with my "good day" theme today I posted a joke that made me laugh. Hope you enjoy!
"Elementary, My Dear Watson..."
On a warm summer night, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson decide to go on a camping trip together. As they lay down for the night, Holmes replied to Watson:
"Look up into the sky and tell me what you see."
"I see millions and millions of stars," Watson observed.
"Very astute, Watson! And what does that tell you?"
Watson thought for a moment and then nervously replied, "Well, astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Theologically, it tells me that God is great and that we are small and insignificant. And, uh...meteorologically, it tells me that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow.
Watson glanced over at Sherlock and noticed a look of consternation on his face. Unsure if he'd spoken correctly, he decided to prompt and response from Sherlock and replied, "Um...perhaps, I'm wrong. What does it tell you?"
Sherlock pursed his lips, looked intently into the night air and replied:
"Somebody stole our tent."
So yesterday seemed to be flowing as an ok day. Nothing exciting was happening, but it wasn't a bad day. And then...out of nowhere..it smacked me..you know..that "thing" that we all get at times. I don't know if it's a curse or what, but from that point on nothing seemed to be going well. Every turn I took seemed to hold something going wrong. I won't bore you with the details, but damnit why does that happen? Anyway, when I finally jumped all of the hurdles I could for one day and made it to bed I hoped that when I woke it would be a better day. This morning I woke up with the feeling that it was all going to happen again. Then..I got in the car and while driving to work most radio stations were playing good music. I couldn't believe my luck. Now, I like all kinds of music, but this morning I had it locked on Country and I tell you they were playing some old but good stuff. It really made me start thinking and just generally put me in a good mood. The last song I heard was by Don Williams. It's called Lord I Hope This Day Is Good. It's an oldy but a goody. Amazing how a song can change how you are feeling!!!!
Hope you all have a great day and that you let a song cheer you if you need it!

Lord I Hope This Day Is Good
Don Williams
Lord, I hope this day is good
I'm feelin' empty and misunderstood
I should be thankful Lord, I know I should
But Lord, I hope this day is good
Lord, have you forgotten me
I've been prayin' to you faithfully
I'm not sayin' I'm a righteous man
But Lord, I hope you understand
I don't need fortune and I don't need fame
Send down the thunder Lord, send down the rain
But when you're planning just how it will be
Plan a good day for me
You've been the king since the dawn of time
All that I'm asking is a little less crime
It might be hard fo the devil to do
But it would be easy for you
Lord, I hope this day is good
I'm feelin' empty and misunderstood
I should be thankful Lord, I know I should
But Lord, I hope this day is good
Wow, it's been awhile.
I guess I need to start off by apologizing to myself for being lazy about not coming on here. The whole reason for starting this was for me to have an outlet. I am now vowing to be better at this and visit more often. I think there are three reasons for this. 1) I really need to be true and honest to myself. 2) A new year is about to start. I can't believe how quickly it's gone and how little I've accomplished. 3) Reading the blogs of others is very inspiring to me. It seems they are able to find comfort and resolution. I'm hoping to find it within myself but also through friends I may make online.
Let me tell a little about myself. I'm a Kansas girl who is now living in Hawaii. I am happily married and have a wonderful stepson living with us. I'll get into it more at a later date but his mother is not an easy person to deal with. I can't tell you exactly what I do for a job, but I can say that I work in an office. Unfortunately it's not as funny as The Office, but we have some characters here! I'm on a self discovery mission. Even though I feel I have a happy life I feel like I've lost a big part of me somewhere. I'm hoping that by posting here and just getting my thoughts out I can examine some things, learn to do somethings different, and learn to accept some things.
