Unsubscribe

This morning I decided to unsubscribe from emails that I do not want coming to me. The funny thing is, that I do not remember subscribing to them. That means that when I join the companies I do want, they forward my name to companies I don't want. Then they forward and the next people forward, until my inbox is filled with unwanted mail. I will continue to do a daily unsubscribe until no one wants my business.

Integrity

Yesterday I was talking to my boss about my plan for the future. Things are still being formulated in my mind but becoming more concrete. We talked about the future of her practice and how my leaving would affect her. We discussed many options and decided that the conversation would continue during the next few months. As I was leaving her office, she said something that has stuck in my mind. She said that I have integrity. The word integrity means a lot. To me it means more than beauty or intelligence. It means honesty and moral principle. That was one of the best compliments I have ever received.

Hatred

Last night I watched the State of the Union address. This blog will not be about the politics of the nation but rather how hatred can show a person's real personality. The nation is split on liking the President. His policies are sound, but he is an abrasive person. His speech was strong with many good policies. The Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, sat behind him, grimacing and biting her lip. It looked like she was both uncomfortable and seething. She, like everyone else, is entitled to her opinion. Then she crossed the line. Her hatred got the better of her and she stood up and shredded the President’s speech. Along with his words, she ripped up the names of the people that were heros and sacrificed their lives for us. That was the ultimate disgrace and slap in the face. How dare she. Does her hatred live so strongly in her that she would disrespect the good people of our nation? Shame on her. She showed her true colors and that will be a mark upon her forever.

The Sound of Silence

Every morning I wake up and go about my routine in silence. I get dressed and leave for work facing the world without a sound. This morning my husband got up the same time I did. He put on two televisions and one radio. Each room had noise blasting from it. It sounded like there was a convention in my house. After about two minutes, I screamed for him to shut down the circus. I could not stand it for another minute. I like to slowly wean into my day, not be thrust into it like I am being shot out of a cannon.

Groundhogs Day

I forgot about the groundhog. I guess I was so busy yesterday that I never checked to see his prediction. He said that spring will be here soon. It feels like winter never really arrived. I hope it stays that way.

Accomplished

I took my own advice and completed a goal. I have wanted to write a book for the longest time and always said I would do it "one day". I was reading through my lectures and asked myself why I was not practicing what I preach. That is when I sat down and started to turn my dream into a reality. After months of hard work, I have completed it. It is now for sale on Amazon. I accomplished something that I thought I could not and showed myself that if you set your mind to something, you will be unstoppable. Go to Amazon, keyword my name and see what can be accomplished when you do not give up. .

Editing

I am currently editing a writing project and getting frustrated. Every time I make one correction, it causes another. I never thought that formatting a paper could be so annoying. I had to stop doing it last night because I sat for hours. This morning I am at it again.
