2006

Posted on Jan 2nd, 2006 by Swan : Problem Solver Swan
As we begin our new journey in 2006, let us consider the world of 2005 and hope that this will be a better year.  Natural disasters abound and poverty and corruption overshadowed the otherwise beautiful world and made it bleak for me.  Personally, it was a year of adjustment-- new house, new job, new baby....I almost feel like a new person.

Let's make this year better than last.  Quit focusing on power, money and fame, and do something good for someone in need.  Buy a lunch, give a hug, drive a buddy to work.  Instead of hiding the good in you, let it show.  The world will be a better place for it. 

I will, won't you?

Money, money, money

Posted on Jan 4th, 2006 by Swan : Problem Solver Swan
I've just taken over the financial tracking reins in our family-- pay all the bills, on time preferrably....it is amazing how much money one family can spend: first mortgage, second mortgage, groceries, gas, household items, food.

Spend wisely young grasshopper--- I just gave my resignation notice for 2006, therefore, from now on I shall be called "thrifty."

Happy Thursday

Posted on Jan 5th, 2006 by Swan : Problem Solver Swan
Just because no one ever says HAPPY THURSDAY-- I am saying it to you!

I hope that everyone is able to do one thing different today-- challenge yourself, treat yourself.  Haven't been to the gym in a long time?? Go!  Haven't had ice cream in awhile-- get some!  Drive a different way home from work, call up someone you haven't spoke to in awhile, read a poem or even better-- write one!  I'm taking a walk on the beach at sunset because I haven't done it in a year.  Change is good. 

Here's a poem I wrote today (a silly one):

Run, jump, skip, hop

Sunny day
Come out to play
Why don't we anymore?

Bills to pay
Traffic delay
Now we are all "grown up."

Who's to say
you may
or may not act like a kid anymore?

What a week

Posted on Jan 12th, 2006 by Swan : Problem Solver Swan
I hope that everyone is having a good week-- I know I am!  I am back at work, bringing in the baby sometimes and just being around her makes me feel special!  She is wide-eyed and beautiful-- she can even play patty cake already (not even 9 months-old)!

Anyways, I feel that I am so blessed to be part of nature and the universe.

I used to think I belonged to some other time (an old soul), but now I know I belong in the here and now!  There is no place like the present!
