Well,it is Decembers 22, 2012 and we are still here. I think we will make it to 2013. I hope you all have a fabulous Christmas and a prosperous and healthy 2013. For those of you who fear the number 13, I hope it proves to be just as good as all the other numbers for you.
Wow! 2013. I remember when people were freaking out about the new millennium and how electronics will fail and that will bring the world to an end and oh Em gee, what a kerfuffle that was. People hoarding food, and spending thousands of dollars they don't have to make bomb shelters and everything else. I did a nothing. I didn't take extra money out of the bank, I didn't stock food, buy cases and gallons of gas or water. We did nothing.
Now we have a second chance. 2013, Myan calendar, world will end. What do we do this time? We drive out in a snow storm, tempting fate, to visit our daughter. Again, no stockpiling, or hoarding going on in our house.
Now I hear, there was a mistake made and the end of the world will be in 2015. They changed their minds. All I know is, 2013 is a few days away, and it will be a phenomenal year.
I am going to commit myself with my resolution right here and now. I believe in making resolutions, I believe in making and setting goals for the future, and that is all a resolution is. You are resolving yourself to meet a goal or two or three by the same time next year. I don't always succeed in achieving my goals. For example, I have not lost weight in the past 12 months, I have actually gained. I haven't gotten healthier I have gotten sicker. So.....with this logic in hand, if I resolve to become sicker, and if I resolve to become fatter, do you think the opposite will happen? I will lose weight and get better? Is it even worth giving it a try? I am not disheartened, I am determined, 2013 will be my year. My year to health, and maybe a little wealth. We will see. So, make goals, set agendas, and make a real effort to accomplish it. It does not matter if you do or not, your effort will bring you that much closer to your goal each year.
Share your hopes and dreams of accomplishments with me. It is one little step towards a commitment.
Merry Christmas to you all
Love you
Me

The End Of The World - --- NOT
According to the Myan calendar, some believe it to be the end of the world, others, like myself, believe it to be the end of the cycle and it starts all over again at the beginning. I think I can equate it to the Chinese calendar, they have the year of the dog, the year of the cat, the year of the rat, and it goes on. Once they hit the last animal, it doesn't stop, it just starts over again. I believe that is what is going to happen tomorrow.
I feel really bad for the doomsday preppers. They have prepared for years for tomorrow. Hoarding food, bottled water, guns and ammunition. Practicing hand to hand combat, hunting, stealth, archery and who k ow what else. What are they going to do tomorrow or the day after when the world is the same as it is now? All that hard work for nothing. Reminds me of all the people who thought the world was going to go into chaos when the date hit 2000.
Although I am not a believer in the doomsday prophesy, it is interesting, so what will we do if the Mayans were right and tomorrow or the day after, everything has changed. I really doubt it would be tomorrow because that is the last full day of the calendar, which, by the way is the winter equinox, so it would have to be the day after. I am certainly not prepared, and I really don't want to live my life like that. Worrying, buying a little extra each time I do groceries and hiding it in a vault. If the world ends tomorrow, THE WORLD ENDS! There won't be any survivors!
I certainly hope I am right and it is the beginning of a new cycle of that particular calendar. If I am, I will see you over the holidays. If I am wrong, I will see you in heaven. Either way I will be seeing you.
Take care
Love ya

LIFE - Sense of Humour Required
I often read blogs, editorials, statuses on Face Book, letters to the Editor, or even comments made on statuses on Facebook or a picture or something, and often they are very negative. I understand that the world isn't perfect, people have challenges, and sometimes people are just in a down right crabby mood.
With that said, I have to say, this is life! It's not a dress rehearsal. This life is what YOU make of it. We can't rely on others to make us happy, that happiness comes from within. I do my best to surround myself with positive people, who smile a lot, laugh easily, and can find joy in the smallest things. I have a fabulous group of friends who are exactly like that.
Not only do they do all of that, but they put up with me and my complaints. They patiently listen to my tales of woe, about my aches and pains, and then promptly change the subject and talk about more pleasant things.
You see, I have been in a rut, and I must have been one of the most unpleasant person to be around with all my complaints. I am so grateful I have amazing friends who didn't drop me like a hot potato and run away in the opposite direction. For that I thank you! It must have been challenging at times
Thinking about my friends, life, and everything that happens, reminded me that we can't take life to seriously. We need a sense of humour to get through a lot of the stuff life throws at us. Some of us will get sick, some of us will go or stay broke, some of us will have one thing after another happen, and it seems like its a never ending list of things gone wrong. What we forget to do during these times is remember what has gone right. For example, the other night I did not sleep at all, I read till 1:30, and then tossed and turned till 6:00 a.m. when I finally got up and started my day. That night, I went to take my bed time meds and realized I didn't sleep because I didn't take my sleeping pills!
Petty issues surround us every day. We can either let them bug us and ruin our day, or we can laugh. I am going to do my best to laugh at the petty things and not let it get the best of me. I will rejoice in what I can do, and try not to get upset about the things I can't. I am not claiming it will be easy, it's going to be down right difficult, but I will do my best.
There will be days where I will want to do something, and I won't be able to, and I will do my best not to get down about it. I do know that if I do get down, I have a fabulous group of friends and family that will pull me kicking and screaming out of the hole.
For now, smile, laugh, brush the troubles off your shoulders, see the rainbows after the rain, the silver lining in the clouds and know that we are all part of a bigger picture, and five years from now, what you are upset about, angry with or worried about will probably not matter. Remember, we are here for a good time, not a long time

You Should Write A Blog
A friend of mine was over and we were talking about his blog, and he said,"I am surprised you don't have a blog." So I told him that I did but I didn't have anything ,positive to say, so why write one. He agreed, then started talking abut how I could blog about geocaching or any of my other hobbies.
This got me thinking, because I have been in a slump for the past couple of years. I honestly didn't realize it. I really thought I was handeling things quite well. Apparently I wasn't. Time to change that.
Let me explain myself to you so you can understand me better, for those of you who know me well, go ahead, skip the next couple of paragraphs.
I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, then I went and got an MRI and we discovered I have probable MS. I went to see a neurologist and because she is a second opinion in a small medical community, she has to be very careful and check me for everything under the sun. Before she calls it MS. I am not complaining, I am grateful that she is doing this. Anyway, my friend suggested I write a blog, but I never did because I didn't want it to be sad and depressing, which it would have been, had I written previously. It would have been filled with oh woe is me writings. Who would want to read that? Not me, that's for sure, I am still wondering who would want to read my blogs anyway.
So here I am, a geocacher, adventure loving woman, who has hit a brick wall, and for the past two years have been trying to find a way around it, over it, under it or through it.
You are welcome to join me on my excursions of weight loss and gain, medication modifications, exercise, play and adventure. I am going to do my best to laugh play,have fun anyway I can. I am also open to suggestions, and ideas of different ways to explore this wonderful country of ours. I may never be able to climb up to Della Falls, kayak around the island, or do any extended hikes, but I am determined to try, and I am determined to have a ball. So I ask you,,,,,who wants to join me on my rollercoaster ride of fun and frustration?
That is a question, but you don't really have to answer it.
Have a great one
Love ya
Me
