Friday. Another day in an unending line of days.

Back Again

Well, David Schechter has inspired me to start this up again. I'll try to keep the rants to a minimum - sorry Jessica, I know how you love my rants - give me a week though, I'll want to cold cock another company head by then!!!

I've been thinking lately, a few months away from 39, that perhaps I really should think about what I want the next stage of my life to be. I really don't want to be an executive assistant forever, even though I'm excellent at it. I think it's time for a real challenge, a new challenge, a new path. I just have to figure out what that is. I have been thinking about Project Management again. With my organization skills, I think I'd be naturally good at this.

I wonder, too, how difficult it would be to become an editor at this stage. Heaven knows (as well as a good number of my friends and colleagues) that I am a pretty good editor. But that is a long, hard road and I might be a bit to tired to walk it now. Maybe if I started small.

Anyway, things on my mind lately: the end of the shuttle program (depressing), the national debt (depressing), house cleaning (morbidly depressing), Nukes in Iran (terrifying), the last Harry Potter film (depressing) . . I need something happy, OH I KNOW - IT'S ACTUALLY COOLER TEMPS IN FL RIGHT NOW COMPARED TO CHICAGO!! Melt you unfortunate bastards!!! MUAHAHAHAHAA - or just come visit me!

Also, after much trying, my sister is PREGNANT - think GIRL everyone. I don't particularly want a nephew!

Missing my Zen

Why do I always allow myself to lose my zen? I allow myself to be lazy regarding myself. I stop meditating, I stop analyzing, I stop being mindful and actively working towards my own betterment. I stop being and let my negative self reassert itself. How do we, in our busy lives, maintain that which keeps us happy? How can we keep focus on working to attain our better selves in the midst of noise, work, tech, life?

What reminders can I use that I won't begin to "not see"?
