This time when it feels like I've missed a week it's because I have

How many posts can I use the tag "excuses" on? This would be why there's no book out there in the stores with my name on the spine. :)

February is a month of many celebrations in my house: birthday, V-day, anniversary, birthday. Each week holds something new. By the end of the month I'm wiped. But it's a new month now, so I'm back. Not very exciting, but here and ready to blog some fascinating tidbit.

Right after I come up with it.

Where my mind has been lately:

Happiness - how do you acheive it? is it long-term or a fleeting thing you have to chase daily? what do you to be happy? what makes you happy? does happy = contented = joyous ??? they somehow seem different to me, on the scale of contented, happy, joyous

Do the right thing, people - what would the world be like if everyone did the right thing? boring, probably, but heck, it seems like I hear more and more stories about greed, corruption, theft, murder....you get the idea. as part of my job I get these daily summaries of all the bad news all over the world - every day. I need some sort of counter balance that sends me all the good news that's happened. Oh, but wait. For some reason that's not news. Yes, there's some out there, but most of what you see is bad.

And now to counterbalance that vibe I'm going to leave you with a few quotes that resonate and bring me that fleeting happiness...

The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt. ~Sylvia Plath
-so get over it.

Easy reading is damn hard writing. ~Nathaniel Hawthorne

The story I am writing exists, written in absolutely perfect fashion, some place, in the air. All I must do is find it, and copy it. ~Jules Renard
-totally relate to this - heck, it's perfect in my head. If I could just do a Vulcan mind-meld with the computer I'd be set.
