Gut Feelings


I consider myself very lucky.  Why?  Because I have great trust in my gut.  I have always been intuitive and fortunate to be able to turn some of that intuition into a career in technology.  Or should I say, a career in problem solving.  Everyday, someone comes to me with a tech issue and I suggest the first thing that pops into my head, and most of the time, the problem is resolved.  Thank you God for my gift or talent in technology.

On a personal note, when a problem arises, I listen to my gut and go with the first thing that pops into my mind.  If I ignore the message, it seems that my blood pressure rises.  I pace and resist the thought of doing something I do not want to do.  I feel miserable.  But then, as soon as I succumb to it, I am calm.  The calmness in my body reminds me that I am doing the right thing.

I am lucky to be aware of this living connection I have with my world.  I believe that all people have this natural instinct but are not quiet enough to be aware of it and even fewer of us trust it.  I sincerely hope that you find an opportunity today to take a risk and trust your gut.  For it is then, that you are truly alive in this world.

Mid Life ... Crisis or Not

Image
As I mentioned yesterday, perhaps I'm in a midlife crisis.  I've been reading several articles and blogs:  The Midlife Crisis ,  10 Signs , and  Is it Real?  to name a few.  So I've decided, I am in a crisis and it is in the middle of my life.  But I'm not going to buy anything elaborate --- except maybe that trip to Ireland I'm planning this year.  I've been overly stressed and overwhelmed. I've been worried about my health and well being and I do feel inadequate in both my family and professional life though and that bothers me.  Nothing really has changed except my perception.  At least that's what I keep telling myself.  It's all me and how I look at things. And then I don't believe myself --- which causes a crisis!  UGH!

Movie Night

Image
It's family movie night at our house.  We just finished watching Earth to ECHO , a movie none of us had seen before. I liked it.  It was Sandlot ish... about a group of childhood friends, solving a problem and becoming better friends because of it.  It also reminded me of the Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind, Flight of the Navigator , or  ET as the plot envolved children and space creatures or aliens. Next up is Big Hero 6 which we saw in the movie theatre and I wrote about in November.  I hope I can stay awake til the end. After that, they may watch The Book of Life but I'm sure I'll be asleep by then.  I love movie nightA

Just Laugh

Image
I think the best people in the world are those that can laugh at themselves.  Laughing is good for the soul.  It's healthy.  It's contagious.  It makes me smile just writing about it. During the month of April, our school is focusing on the life skill of having a sense of humor.  Making light of situations is a great way to cope with the things you are going through.  And if you can find a way to laugh at it, the situation may not get you down. I am blessed to find the good and to especially find the humor in the awkward and sometimes painful situations I have lived through in my life's journey.
