This big fella reflects how I'm feelin' at the moment. . Cold, a feeling like it will take a lot of effort to move forward, stunned by 2008 but glad it is over, looking so WAY forward to the Spring of 2009, and willing to persevere until it warms up.Keep remembering the word Rennaissance! For all the gloom and doomers out there, I believe that there is an "energy stream" out there, and it is our choice as to whether or not you tune into the positive or negative side of it. Just like when you want to jump start your battery so that you once again can get your car to move down the highway. . .it is up to us to jump start our lives to the "positive end." But also just like the anti-matter negative side of the jumper cables, the negative and the positive wires are connected and are intwined with each other. If you choose a side, doesn't mean that you won't encounter some of the negative, but for myself, I don't at least CHOOSE the negative side to start with.
Altho- it's going to take a push to get myself moving, I'm feeling up to beginning the task. As the first day of 2009, I watched several movies that all dealt with other people's lives and a lot of it showed hardships that other people have gone through to give us all such an easy life now. Ahhhh, progress. Or is it? Sometimes I think we have it so easy that we fail to have the proper respect for the lives and the possibilities that we have now. I've seen Japanese internment camps, Inuit winter life conditions, post civil war traumas and consequences, Cowboy matchmaking in Texas and Mexico, Chinese class struggles and poverty, Russian gangster life in the United States, two movies about India culture - name and family meanings, along with cultural differences from American perspectives, movies with a range of not only time, but emotions (revenge, hope, inspiration, hate, love, patience, tenaciousness, trepidation, as well, and I saw the mini series about John Adams which helped up form this wonderful country of ours. I did not see ALL of these movies yesterday or today, but I have been getting a LOT of perspective into a lot of other cultures and ways of doing and thinking about what living means to people from around the globe.
Today being New Year's Day, I decided to take a day OFF from worrying about things, and just do what I wanted to do. Now that I'm rested up again, I'm willing to start pushing myself into a new year, with a fresh perspective, and mostly a "wipe the slate clean attitude." There is something about starting a new year, that is like going to confession when it means drawing a line in the sand and stepping over it.
Getting myself back to work, will start for me when I can make some environmental improvements to reduce clutter AND to beautify my surroundings so that I am happy to wake up into my house when I finally collapse in exhaustion. So first the sweeping, the clearing away of junk, the figuring out how to store that same junk (that eventually will have to be gone through and most thrown out- but later), and I think I'll turn on Art Bell from last night's new predictions Coast to Coast radio show, turn it up loud and see what people around the world have had to say in the past 24 hours, and after that. . .play some LOUD GUITAR MUSIC to get me motivated.
Once the environment changes, the lists begin, and the return to working on projects happens also. . .but first it starts with starting!!!!!
