Watched some of the games on the first day of the NCAA Men's basketball tournamen. Michigan, Carolina won. Expect State to do the same tonight. Can't help but feel that something is missing from the tourney this year. My thoughts are occupied with how cool NEXT spring is going to be!
Now, if this should happen to FOOTBALL ... anywho, watching 'Ellen', and Paul Rudd drops an Adam and the Ants reference!! That is the Digg - The Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon in full effect! Oprah 'skyped' in, and I like her with her hair down.
Yes, I have ALWAYS thought Oprah was attractive. Big, little, it made me no never mind! Don't watch the show as much as I used to, but catch it in bits and pieces. Same with her boy, 'Dr. Phil'. Though this week, he has been doing a series on young marriages and the was something about women who abuse men, it didn't hold me.
I don't think anything is going to hold my attention until I get to Nebraska.
LOVE RUNNING MORE
This is the only way I can describe why I am optimistic about what lies ahead for me. I mean, it isn't something that everyone is doing and other folks are better at it than I am. Still, is doesn't mean that I am not getting something out of it, and that it isn't worth the effort.
As soon a someone can convince me that it is better to be awash in self pity, guilt, and doubt, I will do that. But they will need to be pretty persuasive! Can't ever recall where any of that stuff got anyone anything. How can it? How would they ever be able to recognize when 'good got better', if they are being so mournful?
You could have them write out their version of what would make them happy, but if you put them in there, would they really know what 'it' is? Give them a map, would they have the courage to go to where 'it' was?
One of the reasons I talk about how to get into shape, is that out of all the things that was going on in my life, the absolute one thing I had control over was me (and my thoughts). I think that if you have an interest or passion, when your life start to lap over the rim, you should go to what you know. Figure out how equate your problems in terms of what you know. Then, solve for them.
Euclidean Geometrey, Quantum Physics ... they are hard. Life though, isn't. It may not be EASY, but I believe ('believe' as in I KNOW) that if a person works at what they want, they can have it. Every now and then, I feel a shiver in my soul, thinking about going to Nebraska. It won't be something I roll out of bed and say, "What shall I do this fine, fine, day? I know, lets ride and stop in the middle of nowhere and pitch a tent!
I don't expect anything bad to happen, because that is not what I am working for. Is it a mission to failure? No, not if I take care of all the things I have to, to build my life.
Now that I am at the 'end', I have to wonder if this is even coherent. I am closer to being 'balanced' than not, and that is something I think undoes a lot of folks. So used to dealing with the storm, the calm seas makes them nervous.
NEXT: The song for this spring!

You've seen me write about Cousin Shane. We've always been very "in tune" with each other, even when we lived far away from each other. We'd talk and discover that we had both played an album the other day that neither of us had listened to for some time; or we'd say something at the same time. We still have that strange link, and we call it our Cosmic Cousin Connection. LOL
Like you, although I'm watching a lot of the tourney games, the gild is off the lily. ND didn't even get in, Ball State isn't in, Butler and Illinois were eliminated in the first round. What the heck? I'll cheer for Purdue while I can, but I suspect they won't make it all that far. Kind of disappointing when you don't have a team to really cheer for.
Hugs, Beth
Holding patterns happen to all of us, and I know you are in one until you can get to Nebraska. Hope you enjoy the next year until you are where your hearts desire is :o)
