Creative Meanderings

Just to let you know, I hate waiting….

It makes me not sleep well at night, which leads to a tired and grumpy me during the day. Put meetings on top of that and I’m a very mean bear!

Hopefully, the waiting will end soon…. 😛

It’s officially the year of the dragon – my Chinese lunar animal. I also happen to be a fire dragon, which I am told is the worst kind for a female to be since she can be rather head-strong and quick-tempered. Me???? 😛

While I don’t put much stock in horoscopes or even the lunar calendar predictions, it is always interesting to see how my personality fits into these pre-set constructs created by whomever to make money and continually put people in a box. For the most part, I fit quite well, the personality descriptions of a Cancerian-Dragon, but do I let it define me? No way.

Anyway, just a bit of a random post on the Lunar new year and a small touching on my Asian-side. 😛

By the way, I’m thinking of using the dragon image as a template for my next tattoo…. 😉

When the new year came around, I did my usual thinking and re-creating of a daily and hourly schedule for my life routine. This activity tends to bring balance back to my life and often helps me to focus my energies on what is important in my life.

In a day, I can be extremely productive or extremely unproductive. I suppose this is true for just about anyone, but when I am unproductive, I get very depressed and down on myself. Thus, I try hard to make lists each morning and evening so that I can clearly focus on a few activities and when they are done, I can instantly see my success.

One of my things to do each day is to blog – here and on other sites. Last week was a wash in trying to get back on a routine and starting up with work again. However, I’m making more of an effort this week – we’ll see how long it lasts….. 🙂

Also, I decided to attempt to be more social this year without being dependent on the man to be my main source of entertainment and outings. So far I’ve been quite busy, but this usually dies off or goes in cycles, so I’m not really too fussed about this area.

Finally, I’ve refocused some of my attention (not enough) back on God. In doing so, I have asked Him to broaden my horizons as I did many years ago. In a matter of days, I was approached about a possible management job…. It isn’t the greatest of timing and lots of factors must be considered. However, I am taking it one step at a time and we shall see what comes forth…. Be careful what you ask for! 😛

Anyway, that’s my blather for the day!

😀

I hardly know where the week went and my grand plans to start writing more regularly on my new schedule have been a bit slow to get habitualized.

Strange how having so many long vacations actually causes more stress and chaos than just continuing to work all the time. The constant adjustment of sleep and eating schedules, organizing time to get this or that done while other activities and matters encroach on the spare time available, is all an upsetting process to the body, mind and soul.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not at all complaining about vacations, but there is something to be said about consistently working if working must be done at all!

So, now it’s the weekend. I probably have a million things I should do and yet won’t do. At least for this weekend, I’m just going to try to do some reading and a lot of resting up. I’ll start to get used to working again – just in time for the next vacation. 😛
