madaboutmoose's Journal, 31 August 2011

So whew ... what a day!! Figured since writing this journal is really my own "therapy" I better come back and finish it up ... for me.

Did I tell you my business cards came in the mail!! Oh I wish I could show them to you ... they look so cool!!! It looks like I am really a professional!! LOL!!! All I need now are clients.

So here I am ... what shall I say?? All the sudden I've lost words. Hmmm.

I've been trying to work on a brochure ... the website doesn't seem to want to work well so it has been challenging but I would like the brochures to match my business cards. Plus, I figured by the time I pay for paper and ink ordering them is probably more cost effective. So I will just keep trying.

Distraction. DH just asked me to send him some pictures from our trip last year to Cabo. I am easily distracted, which is exactly why I have set up time to work on my business when I am not at home. Of course, I can still get distracted. Easy to do with the internet. LOL!!

So I went to a Stakeholder Meeting today ... about a new home visiting program the government has handed out money for ... thought it might be an opportunity to meet some folks who perhaps would like to contract with me for my expertise. Nothing really panned out today but we'll see ... they are still in the formative stages ... no one knows yet who will even be actually doing the program.

Tomorrow neither of us is working. We have some personal business to attend to ... which isn't particularly pleasant but is helpful and may help us get back on the right track financially. We'll have the whole day together which could be nice. DH has already announced "we'll have breakfast at home but I want to go someplace nice for lunch" ... location as of yet is undetermined!!

Wow. I am tired!! Busy-ness ... always. And yet ... I am grateful.

For what you might ask? Well let me tell you!!

1. A cloudy, much cooler day today ... a nice break from the warm temps we have had as of late.

2. I can easily slip my silver ring ... on and off my finger ... that has to be a good sign, right?

3. Even though I have no "proof" that the future holds anything positive I am feeling very hopeful about the future.

4. Cathy's wedding went off without a hitch and she is lounging around in tropical luxury for her honeymoon ... can you say vicarious vacation??!!

5. While the decline isn't big yet ... I have had a bit of a decline in my scale numbers recently and for that I am VERY grateful. Being back under 200 is only 5 lbs away. Only 5 lbs. And even more importantly ... I am feeling better, stronger, more positive, capable ... must figure out how to keep this up!!!

And so ... off to work on my brochure I go!!! I should actually go read. Time to focus on my other work. They go hand in hand ... working on myself so I can work better FOR myself. Whew. I make myself tired!!

Have a good night or good day depending on when and if you read this!!

(honest ... I am only drinking a diet soda ... no alcohol!!)

Your positivity and focus are awesome. Hope it rubs off on the rest of us. Don't forget to step off that treadmill occasionally for some R & R.

Loved your journal today. SO upbeat. I hope the day with your husband is very productive and an unexpected chance to be close and loving. I don't really understand what makes us feel positive and where the dark clouds come from but I do know what a pleasure it is to know that at this time you seem to be really enjoying the strength of the positive. Keep on keeping on : )
