New day, new attitude, new direction

Wow, I just got done labeling a bunch of my recent blogs, and it is obvious that I have been in a real funk. The most common labels were 'Cali, grief, loss, death, pain'.  I have been a real ray of sunshine, haven't I? About as much fun as partying with Sylvia Plath or Franz Kafka or just about any Irish writer.  Well, I am Irish...

So, I am gonna attempt a remake of my attitude.  I want to smile again.  I am thinking that Cali wouldn't want me to be so sad for so long.  She was about forgiveness, love, fun, and greeting every opportunity to play or show her love.  I am going to try to be more like her, and more like she would want me to be.

I still don't like the dreary weather, the half planted garden I see through the dripping windows, or the damp chill that inhabits my bones most of the year, but, as Radar O'Reilly said in the television series MASH, 'I hope to do better, sir'...

Stand by.  Suzy Sunshine on the way.
