Wow!

It's been a long time since I have written on-line, almost a year, and like everyone is fond of saying "What a year it's been!"

The other day I was getting rid of an old notebook of mine and an entry entitled "I want . . ." caught my eye. The date was 2/12/07. "I want to lose 5 pounds." Doesn't everyone have that on their list? Yes, but unlike everyone else, I have lost 30 pounds since then. Another entry was " I want more happy and centered friends." That one has started to happen, too.

But of course, not everything has turned out so good. I am eating healthier and living better with my husband, but the start-up company we were so excited about two years ago has never shall I say...started-up. And even though I wanted it to in 2007, I'm glad it didn't. We learned a lot in being a part of its stagnation and are now starting our own company. Though I really want it to succeed, we'll see what lessons another two years will bring.

A wise teacher of mine once warned his class, "What you want for your life might not be what is good for your life." I really try to remember this when I dream of being rich or famous or even a successful business owner.

Patience and humility, maybe that's what's good for my life right now.
