Once again a new year.

So once again a new year is upon us and once again we (meaning the general population) are at war with new resolutions. What is a new resolution? A way that we get to set ourselves up for failure? Another way to look at what we didn't do last year or with last years resolutions? Oh, I know maybe it is a way for us to nit-pick what we don't like about ourselves or situations. I HATE resolutions! I have been guilty of making a list and ditching it by the third week of the year.

This year I am not making resolutions to do anything. I am however going to realize that no matter what is going on in my life I am in control (to a certain extent) and can change my way of thinking and better myself.

I have a food friend who is at crossroads with her life, she asked me what she should do. I told her that she should spend some time and meet herself. So I got to thinking. Do I know myself? It is easy to say it (of course!) but is it easy to answer or do? How does one meet themselves? Do they look in the mirror and say "Hello self"? I think that in order to answer that question one has to take a look at their past and see who they were. Then spend some time alone. I mean no friends, family, no phone ( I know I know this is hard) and no e-mail, just detach for a day or two and really meditate on yourself. Take a walk, garden, volunteer somewhere, do something that is going to have positive "side effects". The answer may be there in red blinking lights or may be under a "rock" you haven't looked under yet.

I challenge any one reading this to ask themselves, "do I really know myself? or am I "fronting" for what I am afraid of?" This year I am going to try, try being the operative word here, to figure out "who I am".

No resolution's, no preemptive failure and no self doubting just the plain and simple try.

To many thoughts

I decided I needed to wright down some of the "deep" thoughts that I have been thinking. I don't know why. Maybe to get some insight, maybe to give some insight, maybe it's just that I have these thoughts and think they are interesting and want to share...maybe. I don't necessarily plan on writing all the time but from time to time.

And yes I realize that the blog address is spelled wrong for the word but right for me. Ha!

So here we go... my rambling thoughts.
