Cinderella Man

I have been feeling really positive lately. Something in Moose Jaw sorta clicked in me and since then I have been feeling happy and hopeful. Yes, even in light of recent developments with Jordan and even though I still am job hunting and even though I still have no answer to what my new life direction might be...I feel blessed and safe and like it is somehow going to all work itself out and I am going to be ok.

Feeling this way, I have been wondering what was the thing that inspired the change. I have been re-reading Wayne Dyer's book Power of Intention and his words definitly vibrate at a very high frequency. But I knew it was something else. Then it occurred to me. I suddenly knew what the moment was that made me want to be a better, more positive person.

Cinderella Man. We rented it in Moose Jaw and I was just so sucked into it. The marriage in that movie was inspiring, but it was the way they both faced such awful awful circumstances and stayed so in love and so in faith and didn't moan and gripe about it or make it some national drama. They were scared, sure, but they held on, day after day and just kept being kind and they did what they had to do. It was miraculous. As I watch circumstances completely dictate my mood for the day, the week, the month, as I watch couples divorcing as fast as they are marrying, as I watch all of this...I want to choose something different. I want to be happy no matter HOW much sucks in my circumstance.

Listened to Kathianne Lewis speak in Seattle and she spoke of not only creating New Year's Resolutions, but a Yearly Theme. This helps you figure out not just want you want to accomplish, but how you want to live your life while you are accomplishing. It was writing my Newsletter that I just sent out to everyone that my Theme presented itself...

OPTIMISM IN THE FACE OF IT ALL.

This way I won't have to wait for all my ducks to be in a row before I can be happy. This way I can throw hope and positive expectation in front of the stuff that drags me down - like a dwindling bank account or a boyfriend who is unclear. This is my intention. We will see how I do.

Must clean the house now. My turn to do the bathroom.

Does 'it all' include toliets?
