Today was cold and windy. Fresh snow had fallen, and it was the perfect day to stay in, stoke a hot fire, and munch on crackers and cheese (one of my weakness's). As I sprawled out on the living room floor warming my toes by the fire, I decided to succumb to my shame. I am not proud to admit this, after all a woman like me should know better than to waste my time and brain power participating in such an activity. Afterwards I always feel dirty and mildly brain dead, but something about it always keeps me captivated and coming back for more. It almost becomes an addiction and I find I am unable to stop myself. I just keep going for more and more until I run out and no longer have anything left.
I guess you might be wondering what on earth I might be talking about? I can't believe I am going to admit to this. It is so embarrassing, but one should confess their sins, right?
Today..... well......while I was all alone in my house, bundled up on a blanket keeping my body warm while the beautiful light from the fire flickered around the room, I.......I........God help me......I watched 6 hours of Desperate Housewives!!!!!
Whew! I suddenly feel like a burden has been lifted. I no longer have to hide my shame and embarrassment. What a relief!

Favorite Quotes
"Success is not the key to happiness.
Happiness is the key to success.
If you love what you are doing,
you will be successful."
- Albert Schweitzer
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
- Mark Twain
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won’t feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
-Used by Nelson Mandela in his 1994 inaugural speech
