Today is a good day to have a great day

One of the best things about writing my blog is the fact that hardly anyone reads it. So it is mostly just cathartic for me.

I actually take time to decide what picture I will use for each entry carefully. They mean something deeper to me whether it's food related or just a picture that still makes me remember the moment I took it.

I think over the title a lot as well. In my head they all sound witty or catchy.

But the fact my readership is between 0 and 4 shows none of the effort I put in means anything.

Yet it does matter to me. I would love hundreds or thousands of folks to read my thoughts. Yet I'm actually happy with myself with what I write. I'm not a narcissist thinking I'm amazing.

No. I'm just happy to be putting my thoughts, dreams and soul out to the universe. As I mentioned this is helping me as I work on building my new reality.

I have never been a positive person or very goal oriented. I can blame this on my upbringing. But that's not fair to anyone. Especially myself. I'm an adult now. Anything in my past is up to me to understand how to deal with it. If I want to let my past control me today and tomorrow. I have let my past control me. Thus the negativity and wandering through life.

I work on seeing my future as bright and putting one foot in front of the other to reach a goal. I fail a lot. But I get up and keep trying. To quote someone from Maine once told me " It's better to aim for the moon and miss by a mile. Then aim for a mud puddle and hit dead center".

I may not have been the person I wanted to be yesterday. But today is a new day to have great day.
