Life's Lessons.....

Set up my blog yesterday....named it Life Lessons.....becauae a couple of years ago, my friend Gary suggested that when I started a business or wrote a book or whatever I did next...well, that it would be a good name for anything I would ever do.....I liked it alot!

I love to look at the horses every morning when it's Oaklawn season. And for a total, go-with-my gut handicapper....I do pretty darn good most days....usually end up with an imaginary bankroll bigger than the dude in the paper....

It was funny. Yesterday. First race. Horse named Life's Lessons was running. If I had been at the track I would have HAD to bet on it....duh?!?!

This morning...checked it out.....Life's Lessons came in DEAD LAST!!!

You know, I don't believe in coincidences......so I wonder what THAT means?!!

hmmmmm......i bet Kevin will play me one of those forgotten songs....and all of you... my closest friends will sing along......"I'm aaaaaaaa LOSER!"

I am thinking that it doesn't get much better than that......thanks, Gary.....LOSER!

ROFLMAO!!!

Things I Am Thinking About....

Follow your heart. A friend said that to me yesterday. I am thinking I would have to FIND my heart in order to actually FOLLOW it.......I am working on that.....honest....I am.

Vulnerability. Yes, Del, I have given that one quite a bit of time since Sunday. And the truth is, I have taken down 3 or 4 of those walls this week......and the response has been GREAT!!!!

Change. Nothing changes on its own. Everything has an effect. The change that happens in me is enough to transform relationships naturally. That is what my horoscope said this morning......and I liked it....others at coffee said it was dull and boring.....but I found it profound and relevant.

Puzzle pieces. I have decided to take a different approach to the puzzle. Instead of trying to develop the image from every side....whereever I can find a piece that fits....I am going to focus on just five new pieces. I will choose them carefully from the table and then I will figure out how they fit together to reveal the solution in that one area of the picture....and I will continue to focus on the one piece that I have been picking up and putting down for quite some time because I know that it is the central piece that will define the life I want to be living......the rest of the pieces will still be there until I can get back to them.....

Pinocchio. No matter how many times I hear it told.....no matter how many versions I consider.....the lost & confused Pinocchio becomes a REAL boy in the end.....every single time....I love that!
