Rational Mind vs Emotional Mind...

I lived in California the majority of my life; Southern California most of that time.  Now I am a Washington resident.  

Love it here.  My new home, my new "city", the people. All of it… when I think with my rational mind.

My emotional mind is having issues with it all the last couple of days.  And the rational mind can't seem to get the emotional mind to "chill".

It's most likely because this move had been planned and worked towards for years…literally.  And now I am here.  Starting a new career, a new life, making new friends, doing new things. (Remember emotional mind what we said about new beginnings… remember??)

Mother Nature has been throwing her best at this former SoCal Girl what with freezing temps, snow (a new one for me!), major wind storms, tons of rain… and then… sigh… a chunk of bluff falling off.  

Again… nothing that is really too bad and nothing that rational mind can't handle.  Emotional mind:  that bluff thing kinda took the cake… Emotional mind can't seem to get over it… it's a teeny tiny piece of dirt with a bit of grass attached… less than a two by two foot piece… and emotional mind is freaking out… looking at it constantly, wondering why we ever decided to make such drastic changes in a life that was pretty damned good, albeit pretty damned stagnant.

And the score:  0 - 1 Emotional leads...

So... shall give Emotional mind a glass of wine, a nice bite to eat of some comfort food, and send her to bed to play computer games.  

Tomorrow is another day!

1-5-15…

I love new beginnings. I love play on numbers. So what better way to begin my new blogging venture: Monday, January 5, 2015 (1/5/15… 1515).

2014 was a year of transition: leaving the "day job", moving from an area I'd lived in for decades to a whole new state. And, I pretty much did it all on my own (thank goodness for friends Tammy, Wendy, Jan and Pam who stepped in at the panic-hour to help with wrap-up and/or calm me down that it was not nearly as bad as I felt…)

2015 going forward is going to be the period of rejuvenation and new beginnings. Starting today. With the new blog which has been open and available for over a year.

Here's to a Happy, Kind, and Prosperous 2015 for us all...
