OK...so I haven't written on this blog since 2012. That seems bad in the world of blogging. Some might even consider it lazy. How about we dust off this old thing and see if I still know how to type?! Shall we...
Well, 2014 kinda sucked. It had some good moments but it had a lot of bad ones too. I am one of those glass all the way empty and has dust in it kind of people so I tend to focus on the bad. I would say I will be better in 2015 but I have a bad feeling I won't be so nobody get their hopes up. OK? OK!
As 2014 winds its way to a close I am tired. Not just the "I want to go to bed" tired but tired of how my life is going. It has been a bit of a mess the last couple of years. Not to go into great detail, but it has been a series of unfortunate events. (See! I am really trying to tie this train wreck back to movies and/or books!)
I want 2015 to be better. I think about it A LOT! But, what does better mean anyway? Making more money? A new relationship? Helping others more? Going on a great vacation? Updating this blog more than every two and a half years?! Yes to all those and many, many more.
So, here is to being a better "me" in the New Year. Letting go of past hurts. Trying to see the glass at least half empty instead of bone dry. Being happier than I have been in a long time.
And what about all those movies in 2015?! Avengers; Age of Ultron! Star Wars: The Force Awakens! 50 Shades of Gray! Kidding about that last one! (So not kidding.)
See you at the movies...

I hope it is filled with nothing by exciting adventure and giddy good times!
I've been filing away almost three feet of papers trying to start my year off with a clean studio for the new year.
I was thinking that this year had been a "meh." year until I sorted out remnants from the past year.
I was reminded that after having to shell out almost ten thousand dollar for a new roof-I was hit immediately needing to replace both heating and air units racking up $10,000 more of debt. and a month later having car trouble- having it held hostage by thieving mechanics for over six months and having to cough up over $5,000 to get it back.
(To say nothing of the additional stress of quitting a job that I once loved.
The year ended with the news that my pension plan of 32 years was just given to go ahead by the government to cut up to 60% of my earnings.
It turns out, it was a pretty crappy year overall.
That seems to be the trend of this past decade.
I suppose I am blessed with with a bad memory because I had forgot that most of this happen in 2014.
All we can do is cling to
James 1:2-4-
"Dear brothers and sisters,a when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. 4So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing."
And James 1:12:
"God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him."
And Philippians 3;13-
"No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead,I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us."
And Jeremiah 29:11:
For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me. I will be found by you,” says the LORD. “I will end your captivity and restore your fortunes.
I don't post these verses to preach at you but but to reinforce to both of us that "This too, shall pass."
"...the one who formed you says,
“Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you.
I have called you by name; you are mine.
When you go through deep waters,
I will be with you.
When you go through rivers of difficulty,
you will not drown.
When you walk through the fire of oppression,
you will not be burned up;
the flames will not consume you.
For I am the LORD, your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior...because you are precious to me.
You are honored, and I love you.
“Do not be afraid, for I am with you."' Isaiah 43:1-5
Have a blessed, happy and prosperous New Year!
