Springing back from...

It's been almost a month since I have written???  Oh my.  And boy have I needed to write.  Maybe that's why I am locked in a mood.  But it's a new month.  And this too shall pass...

So...since my injury-that I can't explain-but finally am taking the time to care for it, I haven't worked out. GASP.  OH NO.  WTF?
Yes, working out really lifts those endorphins to a new level.

I passed up an interview calling...we will say.  I could be mad, upset, hurt, disappointed, frustrated.
Like I have said, opportunities don't just knock at your door.  You need to take every moment as an opportunity.  Every post on facebook, twitter, every sicker, laugh, slip of the tongue.  You can find opportunity in ANYTHING!

You just need not be disappointed if those opportunities do not work out. I repeat...Don't be discouraged...

And if you make something happen but something/someone undoes it, and it takes you double the time to make it happen again, don't be disappointed.  Be persistent.  Voice the vermin...

Installation went up in the house...nice start to Springing back from Sandy!

Hope everyone's holiday was pleasant and Welcome Spring!!!!!!!!!!  Kind of.

So the position of Staten Island Borough President is open...hmmm..who's behind me? 

And this too shall pass...

Last year on this day, last January 3rd, I ended my blog post with:
"But one last reflection question I must tackle: Do I believe in anything I do or say?
So my mantra this year is New Year New Thoughts.
I have chosen to create new intentions for the year and believe in them.
More Clarity and less Reality.

“Reality is merely an illusion, although a very persistent one.”  Albert Einstein"

After reading back my blog posts, twitter posts, and thinking about conversations I think I had with people (yeah I tend to forget a lot), I come to the resolution that I do believe in things I say or do.  I had to have believed in them at that moment in order for me to say or do them, right?  The intentions in which I had created in 2012 were brought to the surface, yes, but were they brought to the sky?  No, but I will work on that further in 2013. 

Clarity came with the sea waters of Hurricane Superstorm Sandy. The reality in which I thought I lived was an illusion.  Something that really wanted to push forward or backwards much of the time.  It was one that pushed me to limits; Pushed me to dive; Pushed me to soar. 

And out pushed 2012 and in has come 2013.

And my new Mantra is My Best Will be Good Enough.

I am a quote whore!  That's my literary side...feeling it? So these are some quotes that caught my eye to help me through this process:

 

Success lies not in being the best, but in doing your best. ~ Author Unknown

My philosophy is that not only are you responsible for your life, but doing the best at this moment puts you I the best place for the next moment.~ Oprah Winfrey


Don’t waste your time striving for perfection; instead, strive for excellence — doing your best. ~ Sir Lawrence Olivier


With that said, I have a lot to look forward to in 2013.  A better, best me.  Only the best, my best for my little one. I ask you to help me in this endeavor as you are all amazing individuals doing your best! 
And with setting a mantra, goals need to be aligned ...to be announced shortly.

Happy New Year to you!
