Purpose

I am starting this blog for a number of reasons:
1. I read blogs all day and I thought...hey, why not try one out. I almost hope no one sees it.
2. There is a lot of change in my life right now and I feel sort of out of control.
3. I find myself complaining about stupid (or not so stupid) things everyday and I know it could always be worse. This is a personal reminder I am ALWAYS greatful for something.

When I was younger and I would whine about things my Dad would always make me list 3 good things in my life. I never realized it at the time, but I've come to do that internally all the time. This is basically a way for me to remember what I'm thankful for. So here is my current state of mind.

Complaint- I am frustrated that it is Saturday night and I don't know anyone in this city to call if I wanted to go out. I have no network of friends yet and I'm losing my patience. My life is up in the air.

3 Happy Things:
1. I live in one of the most beautiful cities in the country, where I am able to drive an hour and go on an amazing hike with my great dog, Serena.
2. I met great people on my hike today. I am glad I am the type of person that can talk to a wall and people seem to like me.
3. I have friends in Texas that will always be there for me and happy to see me.

Ok, that wasn't so hard. I am going to try to post whenever I'm down in the dumps, which comes and goes a lot more lately. If anyone reads this, you should try my theory....what's the worst that can happen?
