Day 10 of the 30 days of gratitude

 
I am grateful for my soul sister, Miss Laura.  Who says you can't pick your own family?  Both only children, we are tight like any set of sisters would be, that being said, she can read me like a book and I hate it. haha! Okay, not really, but it can put a crinkle into a an evening event.  We were supposed to go and see her King's play tonight, but on my way home from work, I told her I would just need to stop for some coffee, because I needed caffeine.  "Are you okay to go tonight?"  She asked me with genuine concern, since it's a good forty-five to fifty minute drive from here without traffic AND I was asking for caffeine, not half-caf or decaf.  I told her yes, because that kind of drive is nothing to me, but she knew better and she grounded my Jet engine's and made me stay home.
 
As we all know, my sleep patterns are comparable to Interstate 5, unpredictable, so I am grateful that my sister called me out and more than likely kept us both safe.  She has night-blindness, so she can't drive at night and I am so tired, my judgment is a little sketchy at the moment. Not a good thing when you're sharing a road with other SoCal drivers.  ha!
 
Finally, I am tired, so I am wrapping this up now. It may not be my best blog, but it is honest.  I love my sister, there is so much more to her than just telling me no we can't go to a game.  She can be one of my fiercest protector's and she can be my conscience when she knows I should no better.  
 
Until tomorrow...love your sibling, adopted, or by birth.  I am lucky enough to have had a Sissy Jo, and I am lucky to have a baby sister in my cousin Marie and  of course Sis Laura.  I chose my siblings and they chose me.  How lucky I and grateful I am.

From a personal journey to...

I have blogged off and on about a personal journey I have been on for about a year or so.  It's nothing earth shattering for anyone but me.  I hate to say it, but I kind of became a cliché.  Indeed, I had become that person who needed to find themselves.  One of my favorite quotes along the way came from Tolkien, "Not all those who wander are lost".  It kind of contradicts my previous statement, well not kind of, it does, because I talk about finding myself, but truly, I knew where I was all the time.  Are you confused yet? Think of it as standing outside of your body inside a hall of mirrors.  Like a carnival there are images of you everywhere, but only one of those images are you.  So you go about seeking the solid figure and along the way you hit dead ends, walls, other mirrors with images of yourself and so on, until you finally stop, breathe and realize if you look at the mirror in front of you, there you are.  You stop trying so hard...

Not sure what the title should be.

Brace yourselves, this will probably be a rambling post, but hey, no one is perfect and it is apparently one of the things I do best.  I think this post will be about resolutions, but I didn't want to put that in the subject line, I thought I would keep you guessing.  So mean right? Or is that clever trickery?  Sometimes I am so wicked awesome (in my own mind).  So let's get to it.  Resolution number one.  No resolutions.  For me they end up being empty promises that only make me feel guilty at the end of the year.  So for the second year in a row, I am flying by the seat of my pants and coming up with idea's of things I want to, need to and have to get done. As those of you who read my blog know, I made this oath last year and went on one hell of a year long, transformative, journey.  As I write this today, I think I might have just finished with one of the biggest transformations in my life and I didn't even realize...

Need a tip? Don't let Social Media kill your self-esteem.

This is my fifth draft on this subject and I find that the more I rewrite this, the less redundant I seem to become.  I'm also a little less cynical, since my first draft. I am trying to take the more positive approach to life, what can I say? New Year's Resolution? Probably, but that's a topic for another day. So, let's get to the nitty gritty of the subject line.  Do you ever feel like you are ignored or 'not worthy' when on Twitter?  Maybe even Facebook?  I have a friend that does when it comes to Twitter.  Yeah, okay, it's me, but Facebook isn't my problem, in fact, I know personally 99% of my Facebook Friend's, because I don't just friend anyone, which is also why I don't look like I have many friend's on there. *shrugs*  Besides, that's what Twitter is for... From time to time I like to comment or retweet things I see.  I don't expect a response or a like, but when I don't get one, I think 'Oh Crap, did I ...
