As you can see...I'm so incredibly sporadic with my blogging that I have probably lost all my bloggy friends...but hopefully you'll all pop in and actually get to read something new.

I have learned, although I always knew, that I am a forward thinker. I am always looking for the next best thing. Rather than jumping the hurdle right in front of me I'm already thinking about the finish line, or the next race. What I'm saying is that I'm not good at living in the moment. So...like everything else I do in life, when something bothers me, or puzzles me, or I just need to know all the facts...I turn to my researching. Call it a gift, call it a skill, call it what you will...I am an expert researcher. If I could get paid to do nothing but research all day I would have finally found the job I'm a shoe in for. But I digress. So today I have researched every thing under the sun as the "living in the moment" thing has become the newest addition to my ever growing list of New Years resolutions...although funny enough they all generally relate to the same thing. Happiness. I want to stop being negative. I want to stop gossiping. I want to be happier. And now, I want to "live in the moment". I looked into a gratitude journal, which led me to a blog where someone was talking about their list of things that make them happy. Not necessarily things they are grateful for...although in a roundabout way it's the same thing. And then I came across this website. For all those that don't feel like clicking on the link it's called 1000 Awesome Things. And the more I read the more I thought "oh man...I love that too". It's the greatest website. So I have decided I want to start a list like that. Although due to copyright laws I should probably come up with a new name. How about 1001 Awesome Things?? Just kidding, but I do need a title. Maybe I'll make a list of my favorite things. Being an extremest this shouldn't be hard because it seems like EVERYTHING is my absolute favorite thing. You may remember a post I had about extremes from my previous blog but basically for those that are new to this...I either love things or I hate things. Things are either going great or they're over. It's either too full or empty. If I had a nickel for every time I uttered a phrase like "this is the best song EVER" I'd probably be writing this blog from the comfort of my lanai in Jamaica. So maybe "a few of my favorite things" will be the title of this adventure. Not sure. I also haven't decided if I'm going to do this in a journal or on here. I think it would be fun to it on here and possibly even easier...plus it might inspire someone else.

Well I'm off...to make my list. Happy New Year!!!
