Up Life with Down Moments

My natural state is up. Positive. Glass full. Fantastic. In fact, if you called me right now, I'd be happy. You'd ask me how I am and I'd tell you I'm great. My business is doing well. I've been practicing the guitar! (My arm actually hurts from practicing - yes, my arm - I think I have a bit of repetitive stress in my left arm from these scales.) I had a fun gig at the Welcome last weekend. I've been asked to sit on an advisory board for an international company. I'm about to go to Italy with some of my closest friends and family. I won (earned) a free trip to Hawaii for Alan and me. My health is good. My house is great.

Angela would hate me for it, 'cause I would probably say, "It's all good." (You see, Angela just doesn't see it that way. It can never ALL be good.)

And she's right; it's not always rosy. I just compartmentalize very well. I can turn off the bad things and focus on the big picture. I take a deep breath, shrug it off and move on. Sometimes that takes longer than others. I'm using this blog time to shake off the latest setback. I'm sure I'll recover by the time I've finished the spellcheck.



Anyhoo - that's just a small post for those of you who think I have nothing to complain about. It's not that I don't have those things. It's just that my life is too short to dwell on them. Hell... I'm already 40 and I've just figured that out. I hope you do, too.



Namaste. ("The light within me honors the light within you.") WLC.
