I'm in a Rut!

I'm in a Rut!
I'm in a rut!
I'm in a rut!

What do you do when you're in a rut?

I tried hiding first. I figured if I just stayed buried deeply in the woman cave, I would get out of my rut. Didn't work.

I tried drowning my rut. All that got me was my belly hanging a little lower over my belt. Oh, lawd! That can't work.

I tried other things and all that did was make me sleepy, eat chips and giggle myself back to sleep. There goes another belt loop. Get your lazy butt out that rut!

I tried to bully myself out of the rut. "Girl, if you don't get yourself out this rut, I'll kick your ass!" Just like my students, I didn't listen to me.

I tried to imagine my way out of the rut. That didn't work cause I got distracted by my rut.

I tried to laugh my way out my rut but then I took a nap because laughing was exhausting.

So, today I've decided to just forget about my rut. Not even think about it and slowly but surely, I'm getting out.

A little battle royal with my Wii gaming system last night, got my big butt moving, which gave me the energy today to declare, "I'm not in a rut no more!"

I've found the bridge that will allow me to cross to the other side of a new possibility. The day is off to a roaring start as a result and I'm learning that I am stronger than my rut, bigger, faster. My rut can not defeat me. So, fuck you rut. Your days here are number - at least for today!

Positively captivated

What do you do if you don't care about what you're doing? Either find a way to care, or move quickly on to something else.
 

Life is far too precious to fill it with even a few moments of mediocrity. You have within you the power of passion, so make sure that power is turned on. Go beyond merely observing what's happening in the world around you. Connect with it in a robust and meaningful way. Enormous mountains of value can be yours when you simply choose to resonate with the beauty of that value.

 

Be positively captivated by the possibilities. Truly care about whatever you do and it becomes outstanding. Within your passion there is always another fortune ready to be expressed and achieved. Feel the great, inexhaustible substance that is your purpose. Put it into what you do, and what you do will be magnificent.

 

-- Ralph Marston

Life, 140 characters at a time

My desire for writing has become incredibly limited. It seems that my life is a series of 140 characters, tweeted sound bits, capturing the bits and pieces of my life with little in- depth critical analysis.

Maybe that's what life is calling for. I've spent a lot of time analyzing my life so maybe a tweet IS the sum total of what needs to be known and understood about ME and MY adventures.

Writing is what I did to capture the moments in case I forgot them.

Memory is an evil thing sometimes. It tricks me into believing the illusions of the world. Those illusions provide me with great comfort though and the justification for protecting my inside marshmallow core.

I remember how my memory failed me in the Park n Fly coming back from Barbados two weeks ago. I wanted to cry and I was helpless, without opportunity to fix my problem if I couldn't remember. How is the self titled "Opportunities Broker" without opportunity for the fixing of a problem? Good question! That day I had no answer. On the precipice of panic, I just could not remember.

How much else have I forgotten? I know I've forgotten way more than I've ever known but as I enter into the challenges of being over 40, I know what I remember about my life. I am truly blessed for what I've forgotten, for what I remember, for what I've experienced, for what I've seen, for what I've done, for what I've been, for what I've yet to be, for who I was, for who I am, for all I've known, for all who have known me, for all who I have yet to meet.

I hold all of it as just ME!
