Wow. It's 2010. Remember back 10 years ago when everyone was so worried that cars would stop running, furnaces wouldn't work, cash registers would go crazy? I was dating a guy at that time (yes, I used to date) who had to work on New Year's Eve 1999 because he worked at a bank and they thought everything would go nutz at midnight. Well, as we all now know, nothing went nutz!!
Makes me wonder why we put so much energy and thought into what "might" happen? Most things that happen in life are pretty much out of our control anyway. We can't control the weather. We can't control the stock market. We can't pick and choose who will get sick and who won't. Yet we live our lives worrying about those things. I wonder if I can train myself to only worry about the things are I can have some direct control over.
For example: what I eat (or don't eat); how much I exercise; who I choose to be friends with; where I choose to spend my money (and on what); how I choose to spend my time - and with whom. I've said it before, life is all about choices. We can only blame ourselves if we make the wrong ones. And we can only hope to learn from those wrong choices!
May this be a year of new adventures, new learnings and filled with love and friendship!!
Hmm...was this written for me??? I need a reminder OFTEN not to worry about what MIGHT happen. Palms up.....ahmmmmm.....

You and I are alike, Sistah! I contantly worry and jump to conclusions (usually the wrong ones). If I put that much energy into other more productive things, I'd be golden!! That's what I'm going to try to do this year! See you soon! We'll be out there having fun in the warm California sun!
