Life is good. I'm smiling. I have two new jobs. I'm friendly. Getting lots of hours. Keeping up with my writing. Meeting with a Professor about my career tomorrow. The sun is out and I have the day off. Doing laundry and getting the house clean.
Apearance can be everything sometimes. Even on this blog, I'm good at making "stuff" appear quite joyous; however, I have not lied to you. All these things are true.
I hate do overs in the middle of my life. According to books, studies and elders...I'm suppose to have this all together. There is suppose to be a fablous man, successful career and friends all around me.
Today, I am grieving the loss of my very chatic and drama filled life. Sure I wasn't the happiest nor was I close to being fulfilled; however, I knew what to expect every day.
So, as I venture off into my sunset I hope that I can get comfortable with being happy and content in my life. Making life decisions at the age of 29 is one of the most uncomfortable things for me to do. At the same token, I don't want to ride through jut any sunset; but, my sunset.

Making my difference
I'm cautious of sounding like a Self-Help book; because, I'm getting help from being myself. I'm learning that who I am really is eneough. If I write, orginality comes out. If I relax and talk to people they are welcomed. When I use my smile and bubbliness to serve people around me they respond.
Why?
Well I think in 2010 people are truly looking for people that still give a shit. ( I apolize for my language; but, seriously what other words can have that affect.) Wheather its in a coffee shop, airport, clothing store or a movie theatre. Where are the people that return wallets? Personally, walk you through hard buying experiences? Open the door for you when a taxi pulls up? We hear stories after stories about the bad stuff. Kids dying, people left out in the trash or being washed up. Television is consumed with crime shows, dramatic sitcoms and reality shows. Where is the good in this rough society.
That is why I love working in Retail. I have the oppurtunity to redefine Customer Service for one person every day. Maybe, the customer isn't always right; however, they do deserve a smile and a "What are you up today?" No questions or actions solely to increase business or for that extra commission. I want interactions with people to make a differnce.
Again, this isn't a refernce quote or part of my resume. If I could get a employer to believe this prior to the interview....I would! This is usually how it goes....Uhhhh only 2 months in retail; not eneough experience. Now I have two jobs that involve customers and I'm happy to do whatI love....Impact people.

Becoming a Writer
Who would have thought writing can really be a chore. Does anyone else have a hard time being creative under a deadline? I have placed these goals under me like writing about a feeling, a mediation, blog and post something on Craiglist.
I wrote something last night and it was good but I'm not really sure. I find the best writing comes from my life. The good bad and ugly; however, it has to be in the moment. It seems that when I reflect on my life I try to sound like somebody else.....somebody with substnace.
Discovering my voice within my own words is one of the most challenging things to do; yet, the simlist at the same time. So for toady here are my thoughts:
The real Me
Scattered Thoughts
broadcasting intimacy
disfusing emotions
all on one piece of paper
Searching for uniquness
finding my difference
undcovering my indivuality
this iswho I am
Uncovering the bright pain
past the dark sunshine
cleaning the glossy view
I am an amazing person
In other words....this is who I am. Take or leave it. I can't be somebody I'm not anymore.
