A new wind blowing.

There are many things beyond my control. The economy, the weather, the actions of others, the size of my gigantic feet. And there are others that I can control. My reactions to the actions of others, my fear of the unknown and the size of my gigantic ass.
Ok, I may not be able to control the first two on the list, and it certainly feels like that third one has a mind of it's own, but you get the idea. I don't always feel like I have much control, and I frequently feel the strain and stress wash over me. On Wednesday I talked with a woman I admire at work, and she validated my frustrations. Good news, at least on one front, I am not crazy. On Friday, I had another great conversation with a co-worker. It was about work, but when I left the office that night, I felt like it had been a directive for my life in general. I am not a slave to the external forces of life. I can stand up and take charge, I just have to get the hell up. Well world, watch out. I'm standing up. I'm going to start making some of those changes that I need to make to stay sane. Consider this your fair warning.

You go girl. Whatever it is you need to do. Anything to destress is a good thing.

Atta girl! Sometimes epiphany moments happen at the most mundane times.

May the wind behind you always be your own. (as they say in Ireland)

Damn, lady. I am listening, watching, and taking notes. Go for it.

Relinquishing control is very empowering. Good luck!
