I feel like I'm getting tougher (emotionally) as the years go by. I've found that people take advantage of me and use me because I'm small, and I'm slowly making myself tougher to withstand the bullies.
I'll will not change my course of action which is leading me to get stronger and more assertive. :)

i've come to know
finally
that all of what i am and do is exactly all that i am meant to be and do. i have spent a lifetime thinking that i ought to change much... in order to be what i believed everyone else would prefer me to be.
while driving to work one morning last week i saw the hunchback of notre dame on capitol avenue. the beauty that i saw in his presence made me stop
and
look again. his head and face were
I'm definitely NOT snatching another body. Although I'm not happy about the one I'm in (which I snatched from a 60 year-old guy a couple years ago), I know I could be far worse off.
I remeber when when I snatched that 19 year-old female's body about three years ago. Man, did I have some fun, BUT I almost wore myself out completely.
SO: I'm sticking with the body I'm currently in, at least for this year. For 2014, I've got my eye on this snazzy little adolescent number.
From enjoying the relative anonymity of NYC, I am in Cape Cod and involved in a group of like minded people--almost a 180 degree turn. It's right for this time in my life and, having started with a blank slate here I feel free to be just who I am. Love it-that's where I've been heading all my life. I'm not changing anything important .. maybe a hair cut.

Learning to make veggie-fruit shakes in 2012 has improved my health. My basic recipe has evolved into:
1/2 banana
1/2 apple
1 tomato
1 pickling cucumber
1 large kale leaf (from my garden)
1 large fennel frond
1 tsp ginger
1 tsp cinnamon
8 oz Greek yogurt
Delicious, nutritious, and addicting. Never thought I'd be a green shake junkie!

In mid-2012 I listened to an audio version of "The Glamour of Grammar", and it suddenly occurred to me that the vocation I'm most interested in is writing fiction. Don't know why I hadn't figured that out before (I've been reading fiction for over four decades now). I guess my engineering career has been distracting me! In 2013 I'll continue to be a student of fiction as well as a consumer. I'll do much more writing practice, and also want to write at least one short story while developing ideas for a novel.
2012. I let go of the idea I had that youth was a number, an age. It was making me crazy that the years slip by so quickly. I am mindfully living each day. Savoring the small pleasures life has to offer...
I am not able to think of any significant changes that I made in 2013. I actually have the same needs: to change weight, self control, eating habits, exercise habits and speaking habits, and control over my emotions that I have always lacked. I believe I learned a lot in 2013 and I have learned to apply these things to my life, coming out of guilt and condemnation, realizing that I cannot change other people only me, realizing that loosing control of my emotions is not ineffective and is only a means to try to control other people. This year I will not change my focus on the Lord, on my desire to become a therapist and on my desire to lead and guide my children to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
