Labor Day is over, so let the labor begin.
I'm not going to complain. I had the summer off. I was able to map out my days any way I wanted or needed to. I can't say it was the best summer for me. I really need a vacation! I haven't had a real vacation in years and years.
Enough of that.
It's time to start on the right foot. So to remind myself, I am making some new year resolutions.
1- Stay positive. I know a lot of things will challenge this along the way, especially the Administration. the Board and all their politics, but I must stay focused on what really brings me satisfaction at work: the students, creating new lessons, successful lessons, my colleagues, the laughter.
2 - Continue going to the gym. I will be tired, and the devil in me will be making excuses why not to, but I will silence the mofo, and keep going!
3- Surround myself with positive people. I have given certain people a lot of chances, but they have been systematically eroding my psyche with their selfishness, so I will cut them loose, and be with people who build me up, not tear me down.
4- Choose healthy meals 90% of the time! I cannot be impractical. I will have junk food once in a while without guilt!
5- Find more outlets for my creativity, and not only in a self-fulfilling vacuum, but actually attempt to reach out to the world with it.
6- Smile. Laugh. Live in the moment.
Okay that's enough. It's ambitious but it is doable! If I achieve these goals, no, WHEN I achieve these goals, everything else will fall into place.

Genie, because you have these goals, everything is already in place. And it has nowhere to grow but up.
You amaze me.
I am so impressed with your commitment to a joyful, healthy creative life.
Hope your first week back to school is mostly painless, and even a little inspiring.:)
Hi Genie -
Go to the gym for me too ... :) I've been too darn lazy this past year.
Oh Shammy!
Laziness is something I have to battle with daily. I call it the devil voice. I read somewhere that after 28 days of going to the gym it becomes a habit. This has taught me one thing. Don't believe everything you read! haha
