Ready for battle and poetry

Monday, February 25.  Hi all.  Again, I feel like I'm talking to myself although I know there are readers out there.  Today was a great day!  More and more like it as time goes on.  This too shall pass.  Did some real estate and school follow up today.  I'm also seriously looking to take a drawing class.  Made two more drawings.  The drawings don't elicit the same emotions as writing does, but it is still helpful and a good challenge.

I think that the less severe reactions to writing and drawing are because acceptance is settling in and resistance is easing.  That is good, no?

Today I did two new things.  First, I submitted one of my poems to a poetry contest.  The winner gets $1000!  Probably a whole bunch of junk email too!  Anyway, I really liked one of the poems I wrote so said what the hell and submitted it.  We'll see.

The second thing I did was wear camouflage underwear.  Not sure why I bought them in the first place but I thought wearing them would put me in a fiery mood.  And it did.  I felt a lot of energy today, a lot of positive thoughts about the future and what I plan to do.  Things are better, in fact they're great, and will get better!  I am going to do big things.  I know it and I feel it.  No pics today, after all it would be weird if I took a picture of myself in my underwear!

Thanks and I'll see you all tomorrow!

Hi Janna!

Thanks for the nice words and encouragement. Should I know you from one of my friends or family, or did you stumble on to the blog somehow?

In either case, cheers!
