Happy New Year 2007!!!
Happy New Year 2007!!
What have I been up to. I can not believe its been this long since I have written a blog. I have been thinking about blogs and have started some but.... Perhaps Christmas took over. Presents. Food. Family.
I can tell you that I have not missed television, not once. Well perhaps once when I pined for the sounds of ‘It’s a wonderful Life” floating in the background as I wrapped presents. Instead I listened to a ton of music. A lot of music.
I got out more Even today I sat outside at a coffee place and watched birds fly around.
My senses are heightened. I listen more. I listen to music more. I am more eager to seek out friends. I go on walks everyday. I have lost five pounds, perhaps more. I go to yoga now.
I am organizing my office more and more. I laugh more. I am constantly laughing. I laugh at a funny line in a book, something I have never done. I am happier. My man and I are more in love. We sit at the dinner table together every night and talk about our day. We laugh. I cook more. I plan meals more and yet I eat less.
I am not on the internet as much. I play with my dog more.
I am thrilled. I am not as sad. I used to get sad in the mornings after watching the news.
Now, I read the news and choose what I want to read.
I received a letter from a friend recently that said we live in a sad world. At that moment, the moment that I was reading that letter I thought to myself what’s so sad. I don’t think anything is sad. Sure people will always be in need and we have war but people are helping people and there is always hope of a better tomorrow. You see, I do not watch the news I have created my own way of receiving the news and my own way of thinking about the world. Instead of feeling helpless like the world will end tomorrow or I will die from eating too many eggs or too much broccoli I am hopeful. I am more tolerant of annoying people that I see on my outings. I say hi to strangers with a smile. Today someone asked if they could come over and pet my dog. He then proceeded to tell me that he had lost his dog recently and how sad he was. We talked. I said that I knew it was hard. The old me would have hid under my headphones & the new me took off my headphones.
I am creating my own world to live in. Television has lost its power over me.
Happy New Year and may you find peace and fulfillment in 2007!
