Monographs 2006
I've Got a Feeling February 3, 2006 Since the beginning of the new year I have had this strange feeling that there is something just waiting to happen in my life. I have no reason to expect or believe it is bad. In fact more that usual I am feeling positive about most things. I am not ready to declare that this something is better than sliced bread, but just the same the the feeling that my life will be positively changed is intensifying. In fact I am convinced that it is going to happen very soon. I am beginning to feel like a little boy at Christmas who finds it hard to wait to unwrap that special gift that he thinks is his very own Red Rider BB Gun. I am excited to see what it is. I like this positive feeling. I have spent a few years feeling like I was under a dark cloud an I know I had a negative outlook on many things. Maybe it is because I feel I am under less stress, or it could be that I just willed a change to the positive. I do believe that is possible. At any rate I am beginning to pay more attention to my instinct on some things. And lately , after a little investigation, my instincts have proven to be true. Life will be even better soon, I've got a feeling. And to my friends who remain, thanks for stopping by.
Another Year In Paradise January 14, 2006 I seem to have gotten off to a good start this new year. It is hard to believe that I have written and posted one hundred Monographs since I began in 2002. I find it amazing that it is 2006. Where does the time go, and now we are fully a fortnight into this year. (I always liked the word fortnight.... I don't get a chance to use it often.) Overall things don't seem much different that last year. We've still got a mortgage and power bills and of course taxes to pay. The aches and pains are an ever present reminder that I am getting older too. But something feels different as I start the year. I have a good feeling about things to come. I am encouraged about life and living. Next year at this time I'll take stock, but for now I am excited by the possibilities. I am by nature (or nurture) an optimistic person. That is not to say I am never down. I have had some very profound "down times". But overall I tend to view life in a positive, good things are going to happen manner. I guess I am that way for a number of reasons, mainly as I look back on my life and realize, although there were some down things, mostly good things have occurred. I am blessed, considering everything. My hope for my friends is that they too finish this year feeling blessed to have enjoyed it and prospered from our friendship, just as I have prospered from theirs. Life doesn't have to be dreary. Welcome the trials and tribulations, when they come, as opportunities. And don't forget to celebrate the victories as they come too. And to my friends who remain, thanks for stopping by.
