UN NRML
18 March 2009I saw this on a license plate yesterday. I like it! I often refer to myself as ‘non-standard’, but ‘un-normal’ works too. Of course, the vehicle with this license plate was a creepy white panel van with a ton of bumper stickers on the back window. I tried to get close enough to read the [...]
Adversity, Disappointment, Disillusionment
15 March 2009If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.
Today was a hugely frustrating and disappointing day. I am frustrated that my months and months of hard work with Corky just fell FLAT when i hauled her to a [...]
Looking Ahead…
13 March 2009The Grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.
That makes sense, doesn’t it? I think I have all the bases covered. I definitely have something to do…there are many things and people that I love, and wow do I have stuff to hope for! I could live [...]
Stress and worry
12 March 2009OK, one more entry for today…
Worry gives a small thing a big shadow.
This is true…I feel that this morning I am worrying about things not really even an issue yet. I am spending my morning stressing over something that may or may not become an issue, making it HUGE in my mind. Silly me!
Here’s a [...]
I lied…
9 March 2009…I do have an inspirational quote for you:
It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat [...]
Acceptable Mediocrity
5 March 2009Getting ahead in a difficult profession requires avid faith in yourself. That is why some people with mediocre talent, but with great inner drive, go much further than people with vastly superior talent
It’s hard to accept one’s own mediocrity in a certain area. We all want to be the best, don’t we? What exactly [...]
de do do DO! DO IT!
4 March 2009 There are two kinds of failures: those who thought and never did, and those who did and never thought.
Think things through, dangit! Think, then DO!
To travel hopefully is a better [...]
Quixotic Day
3 March 2009This morning I caught my friend’s broodmare online 9on her webcam) giving birth. It was incredible…makes me excited and terrified for Taylor. Her mare is also a maiden (a mare who has never had a baby before) and had a hard time accepting the foal. Part of me is very thankful that Taylor is at [...]
Thought for Today
2 March 2009One day a farmer’s donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.Finally he decided the animal was old and the well needed to be covered up anyway, it just wasn’t worth it to retrieve the donkey. So he invited all [...]
Spaghetti overload
28 February 2009Ok, so I am sitting her at my office on a Saturday afternoon. Yep…workin’; on a Saturday yet again! I ate a huge lunch at Fazolis today, had a huge dinner last night at Milano’s. Life is good – I’ve eaten at Milano’s the past 4 weekends in a row! Long live spaghetti!
I am not [...]
