HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!

I Am Stunned

So I have been MIA for a few days, well yesterday I posted but I didn't hang around to read blogs. This morning on the other hand was a different story. I learned that Liquid from Liquid Illusion had passed away on Christmas Eve. A very sad day for so many. Between her wonderful photos and her witty, yet sometimes snarky poems, I am not sure what I will miss the most. Rest in peace...

Afriad To Try or Afraid To Fail

A well-lived life is not for the timid. The world was never meant to be approached with extra caution and fear of making mistakes. Kids know that you have to jump in feet first and be willing to take some lumps on the head if you're going to have any fun. When did we stop trying new things? Why did we stop taking risks? In large part, we're afraid of messing up. We've settled into our comfort zones and don't want to look like a fool to ourselves or others. What's the price we pay for our pursuit of perfection? No growth, no sense of discovery, few real experiences. The sacrifice isn't worth it. Are there points in your life that you wish you could have back because you didn't pursue an idea or a new interest? Those chances are gone forever--but you'll have more in the future to take full advantage of. It's been said that most people don't learn much that's new past their 20s. That's an awful long time to stay stagnant. The only mistake you should be afraid to make is not trying.

Been A Few Days

I haven't been here in quite sometime, not to long but longer than I like. Things have been crazy with the holidays and now that they are almost over I have a little breathing room.

I am still on track with Weight Watcher's, although I did gain 2 pounds at this weigh in yesterday, I was a little disappointed but I guess that is how the human body works. This week shall be better! In my defense, it is hard to do this and go to someone elses house for Christmas dinner. My mother in law covers every veggie in butter...drives me crazy. Even before Weight Watcher's I couldn't stand it. This year she made carrots and then green beans with bacon. The veggies were fresh, so that was a plus but she killed them with the coating of butter.I like butter but geezz..that is a bit much. If I was a diet pill sucker taking Fentraphen I would probably double up the dose! I mean what else was I going to do? Rinse off the butter?!?!

But that day is behind me and now I am off to a fresh start!
