Finish What You Start

My therapist told me that the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start.

So far today, I have finished two bags of chips and a chocolate cake.

I feel better already.

For my Mom

Knowing about my blog greatly increases the chance that you will actually see it, so I figured while my chances are getting better, I may as well give a shout out.
HEY MOM!!!!
Now, one day, when my blog is famous and I have a million subscribers, you can say....look, that's my scatterbrained daughter...and she loves me.







Yeah, I love my mom, and as much as I am like my father, (which is a lot), we thoroughly confirmed that I am like my mother.
She is sweet, kind, caring, intelligent, and yes......her life is composed of a million pieces.

Hey Mom, here's to you piecing together your million peaces.

Love you mom!

For WRITERS

Sometimes I dream of a write's life. Ideas spilling out onto paper, long days near the window, looking for inspiration. Selling my first book. But then I realize, after a couple pages...this shit is hard! Here's a little help:

A Musician

Hey Delilah! Picture it....standing on stage, lights dim. The crowd is quiet. I begin to strum her beautiful smooth strings. The crowd recognizes the song, and begins to cheer. I start to sing, and the lights get brighter. For a minute, I see the audience, singing, cheering, claping, dancing. They love my music. I love to create music. It's a great relationship....

Amazingly, I have taken deep breaths and found my center. Unfortunately, it looked like this...

Calm was never my thing. Very extreme, lots of emotion, good and bad...mostly bad. Anger, for some reason, I excelled at.
If something made me mad, I was intensely pissed.
If something bothered me, I was furious.
If someone aggravated me, I hurt them.

Now, as amusing as this may sound, it just was not a convenient or acceptable way to live. Since then, I have adjusted, and been able to forgive and control.

Oh it's not a problem.
Oh no sure go ahead.
Please, after you.
Completely my fault.
Take your time.
My pleasure.
Thank you.

These are all great tools to help you fool others, and yourself, into thinking you are patient and calm. Just use them when you feel flustered and like magic...you are a kind soul.

So now, throw in an addiction.
I am a smoker. Fairly heavy.
Ok, wait, not a smoker...WAS a smoker. Yea I quit. That was my other inner peace. I get frustrated by idiots, discouraged by incompetence, angry at the world...breathe, say some kind things, and all else fails, smoke a cigarette. Problem solved.

New problem...I quit. Now reality is even more so.
No more cigarette when I am angry, or upset, or sad, or bored, or tired, or, or, or ever! For nothing.

I can say, that I am doing good. My quit date really was my quit date. I have not smoked since. AND, I haven't harmed anyone. I would say I am a success.

So now, onto a not so angry center. Time to find my Zen. What do the experts say?

Think good thoughts...

Ooo tough sometimes.

Forgive others...

I really do try.

Laugh...

At idiots and a$$h013$? uhhh...

Exercise...

I can do that.

Pilates looks calm and zen-enducing. Ready, set, downward dog!
