No matter how old I get...

It amazes me each and every time I am slapped in the face with the realization of the way that society truly is today. I can not believe the number of people out there that missed so many life lessons. Simple lessons like "do unto others as you would want them to do unto you". I mean, this is one of the simplest things for someone to do. I guess it is just to much to ask of people for them to remove themselves from their self-involved bubbles long enough to actually consider their actions. I personally try to treat people in a way that I want to be treated. It is not a perfect world though so this does not always work out as ideally as I would like. Rather than acting immature and childish when it works out in the opposite way that one would hope. Not only that but people that seem to be missing genes DNA markers that help to promote ethical behavior. Of course, if everyone were to act this way then what would all the drama llama's have to occupy their time?

So I really feel like ripping someone, or a group of someone's a new one right now. How is it that an entire organization can treat someone so unfairly? I guess it wouldn't bother me so much if I wasn't close to someone who had been wronged by the organization. I guess I should know by now that life is not fair and corruption trickles down from the top and permeates into almost everything in one way or another. I guess this is where my beliefs kick in and I know that I should be the bigger person. That I should cast out the demons and trust in God that everything will work out. It is also hard because it is not my battle to fight. I was not personally wronged. I in turn am part of an organization that apparently does not prove to be an example of what they stand for. I don't even have the ability to deactivate my account! I do not even want to be associated with a group that will come up with some loophole bogus accusation against someone because someone knows someone. That is some BS that I do not wish or choose to be a part of. Has anyone else ever been put in that type of situation? When you knew that what was going on was so innately wrong that you wanted to stand up and shout from the rooftops how you felt? That is how I feel.

It's a new year, it's a new day!

So, I don't ever make new year's resolutions but decided that I needed to and needed to take control of some aspects of my life. I have dropped the whole soda habit, which was the only habit I had as far as food, beverages, etc. I also have joined forces with a friend that lives close and we are keeping food journals, counting calories, and have committed to exercising 100% more. We just weighed in Sunday, and each lost 6.5 lbs in the first week!!! It is amazing how much support it adds when you have someone you trust and hold each other accountable. I had thought these mere resolutions would be it for 2011, but now I am seeing another need. Not necessarily a new year's resolution, but just a resolution to myself. I think you can make these at any point in time. This secondary personal resolution I am making comes after a wise friend of mine told me about her Facebook detox. It isn't that I am copying her, not in the least. I actually am not detoxing from Facebook. Her reasoning is what spurred this new resolution to myself. I am 28, almost 29 years old, and surprisingly can name many drama filled women who I guess never grew out of the high school mentality. So I am going to attempt to detox from drama. That may be a little tough. What my goal really is though is to think about eternal significance. I recently went through my FB friends list and deleted quite a few friends. It is not a competition to see how many friends you can get. I am going to be deleting more as the days come as well. I am not asking for people that don't want to be deleted to send me a message. I am not asking for anything. The people I am deleting are those that I have not spoken to in years, or those people that act friendly on FB but act like they don't know you in person. I am going to dub those people FB fakes. I know how the people in my life are that hold importance. I am blessed with a great family and friends. I am blessed each morning I wake up and get to enjoy another day on this earth. I am going to be positive and optimistic, if not for me, then for my children. They deserve an example that shows them how great this gift of life we have been given truly can be. I am going to remember to be thankful for the small things, and remember WHO to give thanks to. Oh, and if anyone has a problem with this, then go ahead and delete me, because I don't want to be on your friend list.
