Mothers Day weekend... have a few projects to get done and need to go workout. It's been a rainy weekend but a good one thus far.
It's interesting that when I speak to people whether that be on facaebook or skype or twitter or in person; the first thing they ask is "How are you?". I am great is what I always say...before it might have been a lie but I really am great these days. As usual we can all find a reason for life not to be perfect but right now life is pretty damn good!
New job... well, not so new anymore but it's good... bout to get a bit crazy! New people are coming on board...when we find them!
New outlook... well not so new either. I'm back to being myself. I feel more like me than I have in a long while. In the past year or half a year I lost myself there for a minute. Life was a bit "topsy turvy" as they sing about in Hunchback of Notre Dame. It's balancing itself out at the moment and I am loving getting to know all the new people that I know now and am loving getting back to the fun things that I love to do...
take pictures, play volleyball, playing soccer, workout, drink tea, read, sing at the top of my lungs and just be all around connected to people. I am getting more involved in my college activities... doing things with the Black Alumni of SMU maybe even serving on the board...if not still being an active member. I'm living with that amazing feeling again, when I had the zest for life and enjoyed it because you never know when it might end. I'm back in the frame of mind.
LIFE IS GOOD.
I am again DRIVEN TO SUCCEED and am ALONG FOR THE RIDE all at the same time. I will go to Ireland for the first time at the end of the summer and will travel to the PACWEST again this summer. I am going to the NE for a few days for Memorial Day (working at all of these junctures).
I am working on getting my finances straighter ... you like that straight -er, lol. I'm a long way from being where I want to be in that realm but I am on my way and that's what is important.
On to something that is important to me...
My fabulous dentist Dr. Janet Stone Gonzalez has stopped practicing due to her cancer dignosis and was ever so gracious enough to write off the money that I owed her for a procedure that she actually paid for when I had the lock-jaw issue and no money to get it taken care of. SHE IS AN AMAZING WOMAN and a great friend. I need to figure out how to repay her and how to honor her all at the same time. I am thinking I am going to do some team in training or something so that I can help raise funds for my amazing friend. That's right she is not just my dentist she is a friend.
I don't have anything else to share at the moment but when the feeling hits me I will write again.
JUST KEEP SWIMMING!
