One of my favorite bloggers, Bluz Dude, posted about an interesting subject a while back. I’d originally intended to answer right away, but life has been a bit goofy, so it took me a while to get back to him. The post was titled Argument Clinic, and he went on a bit of a rant about women’s style of arguing (yeah, his female commenters loved that ( Read more... )

Have you ever seen The Weather Man with Nicolas Cage? Tom and I watched it for date night tonight, and it hit a nerve I've been feeling on the fringe of my consciousness but haven't really delved into yet. Here's the part that summed it up, which is appropriate, since it's at the very end, when the character is summing up his life ( Read more... )

Reflecting tonight on attitude and approaching life in a hopeful way instead of a pessimistic way. Was reading a few of my older posts, and this quote caught my eye (from: Hello, my name is Cristy...):

Nerves about my first day of work in years and feeling overwhelmed seem to be the theme of each day here lately. I'll let everybody know how Wednesday goes. It's mostly a training day, but the nerves don't know the difference. :) Hope ( Read more... )

It is really remarkable what a difference a few messages of hope and good feelings can make on a mood. Thank you, Everybody, for taking a moment to spread some sunshine my way the other day. :) It really did help. I am grateful and blessed to have all of you in my life, even in this nontraditional way. I'm still working on the issues I had then ( Read more... )

Sorry I've been out of touch, folks. And, really sorry I haven't gotten around to posting a new goal for ProjectYou. If somebody else feels like posting there, please feel free! I really don't have any kind of excuse. I just have felt this huge, funk of a dark cloud over my head lately. It's probably a TON of things happening in my life right ( Read more... )
