A FANTASTIC NEW YEAR TO ALL!

A FANTASTIC AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR TO ALL!

Have you made a list for your New Years resolutions of things to improved on or want to do and make do? I need to be consistent and be reminded. I want to focus and remain. I want the best of me to come out, all the time and so I have written about 25 of it. I hope you did yours, too.
Mine is a list of something i have to continuously remind myself to do, practice or maintain. I just want to make sure that i don't lose focus when I get busy,distracted and depressed. Some in my list are in practice for a long time. I just fall off the wagon sometimes when I feel defensive and hurt so much. I need to be more peaceful with whatever life throws which sometimes offsets my balance, integrity and faith.

For me, loving can be a big job when always in pain and disbelief. Believing and trusting can be blurry when things never seems to improve or change for the better and good. Working hard can be tiring when there is no fruitful outcome that comes back. Getting old is such a challenge that dying young is imagined at random. Every trial and fall backs are feeding me doubts and weakness when alone and forgotten. So what do I do? What is it that i will be physically and mentally inspired to keep and be proud of ? My flaws and mistakes and wrongdoings are a part and parcel of my being human...yet this is not what I was meant to be . This is not what God intended for me to take part of and be part off. I better get stronger and avoid whining, complaining and tearing myself apart. I made mistakes, I know my faults and I am ashamed of things that I said in furious outrage. I have lost my self in the midst of failures and defeats. I accepted the end of what seems to be great and the beginning of the new unknown.

Staying sane, peaceful and grounded inside is a still a walk on the rope...but I have to insist,persist and be in my best element as what I am designed to be. A woman who is mature, confident and loving...at peace with my decisions and failures...at peace with what I can and can not do...at peace with my failings yet remains in the running for what is good, what is right and what is kind.

This New Year , I decided to give myself a good look and a great break. I have to stop being gullible and trusting too much and yet I still have to learn to just trust without doubt.
I have to remember that being a grown up woman requires me to be much more trusting on my instinct and perceptions. I have to question, observe and analyze an opportunity that seems to be presenting itself to me. I have to trust yet I have to be assertive in giving up that trust.

A new me is only an improved ,wiser and stronger me. This new year seems to be more fitting to have these good deeds and thoughts put into everyday practice. What is your imperfections? What bothers you most? Do you need some tweaking, improving and redesigning of your belief, characters and manners? Isn't a NEW YEAR the best time to make these changes?

I know,for me it is. Nothing is wrong in realizing my best character potential especially when I know it's all in my hands, in my committed heart and mind, to fulfill what may,also be the keys to positive changes not just in my life but for others,too.

Comments from my readers and critics...

Thanks you guys for sending me messages of your understanding and whatever feelings you may be interested in sharing with me. Your comments are all welcome as blogging should be a 2 way street. Tell me what you think about what i wrote , my way or style, topics and my philosophy.

Your email and comments are what makes me more interested to write,be brutally honest and be a woman i should be. If you think you can add more for my readers and me to know,learn more and be wise then the better. After all, my experiences is much more on how i took it and ran with it rather than why i wrote it and who were in it.

Your say is as important for me in growing my muscles in writings and versing. I know you can be the better writer yet I am a free bird still pecking and building what I can thru writing my funny and sad yet interesting experiences. I can learn more and I can give more with your love,support and understanding of my pen's tortured ink.

Come now, be my guest and be interactive in my journey of letters, phrases and languages. This blog is yours to learn as well as mine.

Timely quotation for my present situation...

You must dare to disassociate yourself from those who would delay your journey... Leave, depart, if not physically, then mentally. Go your own way, quietly, undramatically, and venture toward trueness at last.

Vernon Howard

SURE, I did and I'm feeling better for daringly done it.

Losing my Zen and getting back again...

I have been very sensitive these days. I have no excuse yet I know my being tired and sad and feeling discarded is playing a major role with all my recent drama.

I am now tuning in again and doing the best to live my life in happier, joyful and non preferential/ judgemental state. I am guilty of being so acerbic in my words and not mincing it when my mind is feeling tortured and attacked. I know there is more to life to enjoy and seize. I am a practitioner of delight and fun yet sometimes I get loss in a shuffle of people who try to steal my energy and youth for their own convenience and pleasures.

I am at a loss during Christmas season and that is what it is. I have this sentimental upbringing of being altogether with loveones and decorating home to feel more joyous and excited for the yuletide season. I have been by myself with my 2 boys in Canada for 10 years and most of those celebrations were either by myself or with my 2 boys or few friends. My mom is in California and all my siblings are somewhere scattered in the world. I am not married and if there is any guy i should be with, is not anywhere near me. I am not having a warm hug and kisses from someone who I thought would really care and love me. There is no mature love, a partner to enjoy the winter and wine...and laughter and food with my children.

My life is tricky at best pathetic yet many adventures can not be exchange for any currency. The excitement and some adventures are all fleeting,unplanned yet such great memories. I can not and will not want to plan what I already experienced. I like having something fresh, new, excitable and yet solid in it's offer. I want a joy i can hold on long after the experience is gone. It is part of my unique look and feel of the intricacies and complexity of some of my behavior, decisions and reality. I am not stopping my search for the genuine peace and love I can share. When I give love I find comfort, quietness and serenity in my life. When I am loved I live with contentment, joy and peace. When i am alone and forgotten ...am a little girl crying, hurting and longing...and these days, fighting.

I am praying and working harder than ever. I am healing my own wounded hope and wishes for a better life and partner. I maybe abandoned but i can not allow to get loss too far that I can not recognize the right way towards my victorious survival of life's impossible task and test over and over again.

I have to fulfill what I am meant to do in this world. Being sissy, weak and coward is not part of that. I know my calling and listening to it will make me the woman and person that I am to be. Today ,am taking back my Zen, clear my mind and be the beat in my heart's championing of new world and new strength for a new beginning...again.

Reality is only tricky if you are not a part of the excitement. I want to be generating that energy and focus my love to what is real and authentic. I can see clearly now. Please join me in my growing understanding of what life is when there seems to be none. Falling back is just another reason to strengthen my body, my mind and me.

Organizing Habits That Can Make a Big Difference

Do you wonder if it is ever possible to get organized and stay organized? Believe it or not, it is possible. It really is as simple as forming and keeping good habits. Once these simple habits are part of your daily routine, it will be much easier to get organized and stay organized. It only takes 21 days to form a new habit. Join along as we being forming habits that can make a big difference.

1. Get rid of the evidence. The easiest habit to form is one that will make a very big difference: getting rid of the evidence. For example, let's say you've just made yourself a sandwich. Simply put everything away that you used to make your sandwich. Get the bread back to the breadbox, perishables back to the fridge, flatware to the dishwasher, and so on. When you have finished eating your sandwich, bring your plate to dishwasher and napkin to the trash (or washer if you use cloth). No evidence remains that you had a sandwich. This practice will help eliminate a lot of messes around the house!

2. Pick It Up And Put It Away. Don't sit something down to deal with later. Later usually doesn't show up very soon. When you have something in your hands, go ahead and deal with it then and there. Put it where it belongs. In truth, it may be simpler at the moment to set something down and deal with it later. Get in the habit now of picking it up (whatever it may be) and putting it away the second you're done with it.

3. Nightly Pickup. Let's face it. After working a full day, coming home and cleaning the whole house just isn't the most attractive option we can come up with. However, we can do something that will make a big difference. Get in the habit of spending 15 minutes before bed each night picking up and straightening up. It will make a huge difference in your outlook in the morning when you don't have a mess staring you in the face. If you do this every night, even your weekly cleaning activities will be less demanding, because you haven't left a weeks worth of messes to deal with on the weekend.

4. Involve The Family. The reality is that every member of the family plays an important role in maintaining an organized home. Hold a family meeting to decide as a family which chores will be done by each family member. If the members of your family have a say in chore division, they are much more likely to take ownership and do a good job, especially if they know going in that the division of chores can be re-negotiated at future family meetings. Make it a habit to hold a weekly family meeting. They're a great habit to get into, ensure communication, and can make a big difference.

5. One In One Out. Have you finally gotten to the point of being decluttered and having what you love and use organized? The easiest way to keep the level of stuff you have to maintain minimal is to make sure that for every one thing you bring into your home, one thing goes out--either to donations, trash or recycle. By getting into this habit, and faithfully following through on it, you are much less likely to be overwhelmed by the level of stuff in the future.

6. Medications and Supplement Inventory: Keep a list of all medications and supplements that each member of your family is taking, including over-the-counter medications and supplements. Keeping track of these in a spreadsheet on the computer is an easy way to keep it updated. Once you have this list compiled, make sure that your doctor and pharmacist each get a copy of the list. Keep it updated so that they always have the most current listing. This will help your doctor and your pharmacist be aware of any possible drug interactions, keeping you safer.

7. First Aid Kits. Do you have easily accessible first aid kits, or do you scramble to find even a simple band aid? First aid kits are inexpensive, well-stocked and available at drug stores, warehouse stores, and department stores. Buy one for your home, one for each of your vehicles and keep a purse-sized one in your purse or briefcase for easy access. You will be prepared for almost any emergency.

8. Accurate Record Keeping. We've all faced different times when we've scrambled to find all of the paperwork we might need for something, whether it's disputing a refused claim with our health insurance, providing insurance copies, and even the dreaded tax audit. By keeping accurate and detailed records you will confidently be able to provide what is needed, no matter the situation. For your own peace of mind it pays to get into the habit of keeping accurate and detailed records.

9. Regular Family Fire Drills. Does your family have an escape plan that everyone knows in case of an emergency? It could be the one thing that makes the biggest difference to our family's safety. Make an escape plan that everyone in your family can understand, even the youngest member of your family who can understand pictures. But don't stop with just having a plan. Hold regular fire drills to make certain that everyone knows exactly what to do in case of a real emergency.

10. Keep a Tool Box Handy: Keep a toolbox in a place where everyone knows not only where to go to get a tool, but where to go to put it back when they are finished with it. By keeping a toolbox handy, you'll have the correct tool for the job. After all, it's much easier to pound a nail with a hammer than a shoe, or screw in a screw with a screwdriver rather than a butter knife. Just get into the habit of putting the tools back in the tool box as soon as you finish with them.
