Each day when we get up all of the self help shows Oprah, Dr Phil, or many of the religions of the world say that we are supposed to get to start each day of our life anew. New opportunities and wonderful new things to enjoy. I wish that I could say that I was one of those people that has believed that. But lets be honest if there is an option I am going to take the depressed people pleasing way. It started at a young age and if I am being honest with myself then I would have to say that I have never really done anything to change the pattern. So I guess I could read all of the self help books and go into therapy or I could try a blog. Yes I may read some of the self help books and I am not anti-therapy but all those self help shows that I have watched say that a journal is a good thing. Also Oprah told me today that she has kept a journal most of her life so why not try it at least for a little while.

So the goal this week is to try and focus on being happy with where people are at. What I mean by that is that we are all affected by the people in our lives. It may be the person we sit next to at work, our friends or our family but I am focusing on not letting their needs or feelings overtake my personal needs or feelings.

I promise my next comments won't be this heavy. Perhaps some cute Gracie pictures!
