The weather here in upstate NY sucks! 60 degrees one day, 30 the next. I get all excited about spring, only to wake up to frost! It is gonna be so nice to wake up on that first morning, when we have our window open and the air feels warms against our skin. I can not wait!

A few months ago my doctor told me I needed to get more sun. She told me to go grab some special lights and I thought she was nuts. Except, now, I'm kinda getting it. My mood improves so much when I get sun. I grew up with mild winters and hot humid summers, and then I moved here with long harsh winters and a month of true summer (if we're lucky). So, it would make sense that my body just isn't getting the amount of warmth and sunshine that it needs.

This is gonna be a completely random blog.

I'm entering another contest here. I tend to wait until the last second...all the while writing in my head...and then typing it all out and proofing in a day or two. I'll have the entire story written in my head...so that all that's left is to put it into the computer. The last contest I entered was for Valentine's Day. I started the day it was due. I started writing a happy poem...a red heart poem. But in the end...it was a black heart poem. And, I was picked to be published in this little printable booklet. Out of 650 entries, I was in the top 50. I was so damn excited to see my name in the "winners" list. Of course, then I started thinking maybe they pick the worst ones...or maybe it's a ploy to get me to buy some overpriced product they are offering. But, no. They just liked my poem! Whoot!

So, two summers ago, we went to Illinois. As we were leaving, my aunt gave us some cd's to listen to. She went on and on about how they really do work. It was The Secret. So we listened on the way home. It seemed kinda far fetched. I did like the fact that it wasn't giving some god all of the credit for our lives. It gives us, humans, the power. Which is kinda awesome to me. Anyway...I sincerely believe in the message. I always have...well maybe not always...but in my adult years (which really probably only started a few years ago)...I've started to believe in a higher consciousness. Except, now there's this cd that makes sense of all of those random thoughts I've had.

I don't mean to say that you listen to the cd's or watch the dvd's and Poof your life is fixed. I do mean to say...that it is enlightening. It changes the way you think about life. I know it sounds crazy...but I started small. I simply decided that every time I went somewhere, I would find the perfect parking spot. And I Believed I would. And, I have, literally, had perfect parking spots since then. I KNOW, it's sounds crazy or coincidental. Maybe it is. Maybe my mind isn't changing the circumstances, maybe I just see more opportunity. Either way, works for me. I've seen it in other aspects of my life as well. So, if you get the chance, listen to the cd's or watch dvd's. If you can wrap your head around the ideas...I think it will have a positive impact on your life.

I hate reading blogs where a person rambles on and on about a bunch of crap. So, I'm gonna stop here. I'm not done...but it's enough for now.
