If only I had known

Yes I too was once one of the elite who rode the subway.  For 2 years I commuted to New York, I had no idea that riding the subway was such an unscale thing.

“Those who, you know, live in high-rise apartment buildings writing for fancy newspapers in the middle of town after they ride the metro, who don’t understand that for most Americans the ability to buy a home, to have their own property, to have a sense of belonging is one of the greatest achievements of their life, and it makes them feel like they are good solid citizens,” he told the crowd."

Thank you Newt.

It’s political time – yea

But I'm not sure who scares me most:

This nut Rp or

I must admit I'm disapointed with Obama but one must make allowences for him having to clean up after Shrub and deal with an uncooperate House.  But the idea of ANY of the Republicans currently running getting in the White House send shivers down my spine!    

What they say

The astrology people about Aquarius of which I'm one.

Traditional
Aquarian Traits

Friendly and humanitarian
Honest and loyal
Original and inventive
Independent and intellectual

On the dark side….

Intractable and contrary
Perverse and unpredictable
Unemotional and detached

Except for unemotional and detached I can SO see myself in those words.

 

I love and appreciate myself – quote from my 2012 calendar

Um, not so much. 

I'm fat, I'm lazy, I'm not a consistently good friend to my oldest and dearest friends.  Ther is always a book to be read or a garment to be knitted that comes before doing what I really need to do.  But I'm working on it.  Dr. Sanity as commented that I'm very hard on myself and I acknowledge that I set standards for myself that I don't expect others to meet.  I think that I was so sick as a kid that I wanted to be perfect in every other way so I wouldn't take even more attention from my sisters that I already did.

So here we go launching 2012 looking toward fulfilling as those New Year's goals.  70 pounds to go, 3 days of exercise a week to institute, more time on Dr. Sanity's couch so I can grow to love my self.  Also need to keep working on the not humble, tolerent or patient thing which is getting much better but still has room to go.
