Change it up!

I'm having a good day. Bright out, looking warmer by the minute (but was still nice as I walked this morning) I have a big smile on my face - good Nederlandse Klasse last night, hung out with my man, watched the news (Watusi was supposed to be on it b/c she was bein' ignant at a community meeting - well actually she was doing her civic duty calling out drug dealers in her hood on upper 1st St NW - not too far from some other folks I know... All the boys I know in that hood are doin' a great job to make it better - I need to go to the next com-u-nity meeting... Watusi said it can get ignant and sometimes it's funny - you need comic relief when rebuilding a neighbourhood - why am I using the extra u this morning? Hmmm too much caffeine maybe) etc

Good night and I am having a good morning despite email failures, hardware failures etc. But my quick thought for this morning - change something today. Just for change's sake. People have told me this before and it does make a difference. Just something little - just to do it. I changed the way I walked to work this morning - and it was just nice. You see a whole new set of faces, new challenges (i.e. long waits at crosswalks or dash across traffic!) etc. But it just is sometimes go to change something because you can rather than have reacting to changes beyond your control (which most often happens). It's a nice feeling - I'm kindof a control freak - I don't like when things are out of my hands - bothers me. And the more stressed I get the more the control stuff comes in...

Let go. It feels good - just go with it (hard advice - trust me) but it works. Nowadays I am trying to let go more - and it feels good, real good. I'm not saying it's not hard - Dbud can attest to this - I still call him up & vent and get all upset over things I can't control (my job, money, people - whatever) but slowly but surely I'm trying very hard to do as he says "deep breath... thanks for your order, please drive through"...

But I digressed a little from my main point (surprise there) - changes in life happen. Sometimes you need to change it before it changes you - just to feel empowered, even if it is just changing your walk to work. :-)
