Heading Home

Tomorrow I'm heading back home to visit friends and family. It's been 8 months since I moved up here to be with Dan. I saw my family in July at my cousin's wedding, but haven't seen any extended family or friends since I moved. Can't wait!!

The Blame Game

I am on a tirade today my peep's....I was watching one of my favorite shows, The Chew. Today Paula Deen and her sons were on basically to continue on the PR trail after her announcement yesterday that she has been Type 2 Diabetic for the past 3 years. Good for her I say. I am type 2 diabetic. It's not easy, and it's not something that I shared with the world when I first found out either.

What has my feathers ruffled is the backlash that she's receiving. For those who don't know, she's made her name and fortune as the queen of southern cooking and basically has to put butter and cream into everything. So of course, because of the way she cooks, she brought on her diabetes herself, and also in others! Really?? Really people?? She's the person responsible for a disease epidemic?? She took away the free will of all, and force fed them food that made them diabetic. My god does she have power!!

This is where the blame game comes in....for those who have no other purpose in life than to blame others for their problems. The gamblers who are broke and in debt, but aren't responsible, the alcoholics....those clerks at the liquor stores holding guns to their heads forcing them to drink....I'm just sick of it!

I take responsibility for everything in my life.....everything. I made these choices, nobody forced me to do anything. I may ask for advice and opinions, but ultimately, the choice is my own. There are a lot of things in this world that can be fixed if everyone would stand in the mirror, and point the finger at themselves....they're the only ones responsible. Stopping blaming everyone else, take responsibility, shut up about it and do something about it!!

Happy New Year!!!

Here's wishing all of you a Happy New Year!! May it be everything that YOU want it to be!!

I typically don't make resolutions....I strive to just make changes in my life that I think need to be made.

One of the changes I am making this year is to keep a positive attitude. This has been a struggle for me for many years, but recent experiences have shown me the positive to doing it. I've always believed that what you put out there, is what you receive......I need to remain positive that I WILL find myself a job in my field this year!!

Another change that I need to continue is eating healthier. We have been making this change, but I could be making more of an effort. I will admit though, when both of us are working until 6pm at night, it does make it difficult. For both of our sakes though, we need to really buckle down.
