I always look forward to your posts ~ don't stop!<BR/><BR/>Maybe it is the time of the year, the bad economy or the first week back to the day job ~ I have passed the 40 year milestone and have similar feelings still ~ I'm just not as eloquent at expressing them! I actively worked at trying to change some of the things I am disappointed in this year ~ and after much work and stress I am pretty much in the same boat. Looking back though, had some of these changes happened, I would have ended up in worse shape. I guess there are many of us corks out here floating about!<BR/><BR/>Wishing you a Happy New Year ~ may all your dreams come true!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15545037290973245425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22108565.post-50866630690611097892009-01-08T13:11:00.000-08:002009-01-08T13:11:00.000-08:00My plans are to not grow any older...jkAnyhow I pl...My plans are to not grow any older...jk<BR/>Anyhow I plan to work harder and put out some more designs in my shop etc...You know how it goes.

Years ago I felt just about the same when turning 40...I think it is par for the course.<BR/><BR/>A zen master I read about one time had a powerful technique called something like "cork on the ocean" which required visualization of the cork which may toss about in even a hurricane but can't sink. The cork can't and doesn't try to control the sea, it just floats.<BR/><BR/>I really like that analogy and have found it useful ...oh...since my 40th birthday party ended.<BR/><BR/>You will have a great 09 Mon Oncle!

But NOW- FAB!<BR/><BR/>I had an interesting reading this winter- you know, charts and stuff- and a big thing that was said was to no longer do things for what you EXPECT might be the outcome - rather do things that make you Happy. Its been a big "click" for me...when you go with the flow eventually you find that - hey - this a groovy ride, man!<BR/><BR/>And I agree - no resolutions- who needs the pressure!?

I'm picturing you opening a little shop (online or brick and mortar)...yes?!<BR/><BR/>I haven't made any resolutions, because I seem to fail miserably at keeping them. In 2008, all I did was keep this one sort of mantra/goal in my head all year, which I kept repeating to myself and was able to stay focused on. It worked! It really kept me pointed in the right direction and was almost a self-fufilling prophecy. So, I'm doing the same for this year and hoping it works again :).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22108565.post-59712862621851377872009-01-07T12:49:00.000-08:002009-01-07T12:49:00.000-08:00You and me both, then – it's the year for my big 4...You and me both, then – it's the year for my big 4O also.
