Lists

2006 has been kind and cruel so far. unfortunately, i've been focusing too much on the cruel. okay, perhaps cruel is a but too dramatic, but i'm kinda feeling that way right now.

Ten Things I am Bummed About:

1. I've been having headaches daily for over a month now. Currently on antibiotics to see if it's a sinus infection.
2. Two beings I love of the dog-variety have been put to sleep in the past month. Sad to see them go.
3. I came really close to having a $10k contract this month, but it fell through on the client-side.
4. Most of the month, I've been feeling pretty low energy despite getting exercise and trying to eat healthy.
5. My COBRA dental insurance ends next month and it doesn't look like i can extend it. (Individual dental plans are either
WAY expensive or crappy)
6. I haven't made the time to see a bunch of people I love and whom I haven't seen in FAR TOO LONG!
7. I have not yet found an internship doing something I am truly excited about for this semester.
8. My computer is getting dangerously close to not working anymore.
9 All this work in the Leadership Intensive Training is leading me to think about all that I am not vs. all that I am.
10. I have resorted to writing 'Ten Things I am Bummed About' lists to vent it all.

AND SO ... to balance this all out and get perspective ...

Eleven Things I am Happy About:

1. All of the above doesn't matter at all in the greater scheme of things.
2. I am in love with an incredible (truly incredible!) woman who amazes me on a daily basis. Oh, and she's hot!
3. I made a commitment to my men's group that I would stretch everyday and I'm about 97% in integrity with that.
4. I'm beginning to learn more about money and how to make it work for me.
5. I am going to Tahoe for 5 days this week!!
6. Almost every day this month I've taken time to lay in the sun on my bed.
7. The Leadership Intensive Training is beginning to help me move through some old, thick barriers.
8. I feel really good about all the work I have been doing for the Rhythm Society lately.
9. I knocked off just about everything on a 6-month old To Do list this month.
10. I am physically stronger than I have ever been in my life thanks to a regular work-out schedule.
11. I am still very much in love with who I am even if I struggle periodically with liking my baggage.

bonus:
12. I am done with making silly lists for now.
