Winter Winds Will Surely Blow All Your Cares Away!
December 21st, 2008
We had a huge snowfall here yesterday, and last night when the storming stopped I had an amazing time taking pictures and making snow angels!
Snow flakes falling all over town
Slipping, sliding everybody’s rushing round
There’s an icy chill in the air
Telling us that winter’s really here
Because it’s snowing, blowing all through the day
Winter winds will surely blow all your cares away!
Sometimes the World Blows Up
December 7th, 2008
…around you when you least expect it. And sometimes you’re the one who set off the bomb.
Once the bomb’s gone off, what else is there left to do but gather up the pieces of what’s left and start over? It’s at these moments that I feel most alone. How can one salvage bits and pieces- when it’s no longer clear what’s needed to get from here to there? when you no longer know if there is where you want to go?
Maybe it’s something more like a natural disaster, where Mother Nature is just doing what is best for the earth as she see’s it. BUT if I apply what I think I’ve learned… I know it’s all my own doing. So, why did I do this? Why did I blow up my own life?
I’m a believer in new beginings – I am after all, the “Angel of Change.”
So what do I change?
I thought I WAS changing- maybe I was trying to change too fast. I’m definitely impatient, impulsive… and thoughtful. Do I wait too long for the thoughtful part? Sometimes I only find the reasons for my actions much (much) after I’ve acted. I wonder if I ever learn BEFORE I act?
There are people around me who continue to serve as my inspiration. They- from my view- have it together even when the world may be falling apart around them. It’s almost like they live in the eye of the storm. They are my strength in hard times. They give me hope.
I do know that I can’t give up. I really do cherish this life that I’m living and the miracle that is me- that is life- that is this world.
Doode!

I’m in a totally good mood tonight… and I really like my new blog template! I feel more social than I’ve felt in a long time, and I feel like the real Becca is back- and better than ever! 
There could be a few reasons for this:
- I have the best friends and family ever! They help me and support me, and I know that they only want what’s best for me. And even better than that, they let ME help THEM!!
- I interviewed for a new job today, and feel really positive about it. (note to self: send thank you note!)
- I’m starting school next week!
- I’ve started to notice my thought process, and am learning to develop new strategies to cope with and learn from negative feelings.
- As my friend Bobby says, I have “positivity photons streaming from my mind.”
- Thanksgiving weekend was wonderful! I spent precious time with family members who treasure each moment of their lives.
- My mom made the most gourmet Christmas dinner ever to kick off the season. The dinner was spectacular! I was able to bask in the love and comfort of home and family.
- Although, I’ve been blogging only sporadically lately, I have loyal blogging friends who encourage me on a daily basis. I’ve been in a cave and they shine the light in and tell me to come out!
So really, I have a lot to be thankful for!
P.S. I’ll be working on this template for awhile, but I’m putting up links to my favorite blogs soon. If you see a mistake or something I forgot, please let me know!
