Re-thinking Healthy

 So I'm thinking that being healthy doesn't just mean eating right and exercising!! It's about being happy emotionally, spiritually and physically. It means having healthy relationships with not just your family but your friends too... taking time to think about who brings the good things into your life and who brings the stress and drama into your life... and when to eliminate those people who just spit forth so much negativity that is starts to impact your life!! Not to say everyone who has drama or stress spreads negativity... but to learn how to handle it and whether to allow it to impact your life. Being Healthy also includes your career and your ability to provide or contribute... if your not happy in your career... your job sucks.. too much stress or drama at work... it's not a healthy environment for you... and even if you are contributing to your household... and your not happy in your job... your going to start to resent... bringing more negativity and stress into your life... These are things I'm trying to consider when putting together my Goals for 2014 (due date 2/1/14)... Any tips... Advice?!?!?!

So speaking of careers and such... I GOT THE JOB!!!! Yup... I start on Monday (1/20/14) for training... kinda strange that I'm starting on Martin Luther King Jr. Day... but hey... maybe I'll get Holiday Pay (yeah right)!!! I'm going to be working for Lynx Services which is a Customer Service Representative group for Auto, Property & Glass insurance. I'm excited yet very nervous about it. I seriously haven't worked in over 18 years... and that wasn't for a long period of time... I was in the Navy for a bit... and I guess I did work odd end jobs but nothing for more than 6 months at a time... and never really successful with it. I think that now that the both boys are in school and old enough to be mostly self sufficient... and Big Girl is off on her own... doing her own thing... I may be able to handle it. I've given myself a deadline of 90 days (which also happens to be my probationary period with the company) to decide if it's for me or not... I'm going to give it all I've got... even if I'm not exactly happy about the "platform" that I'll be working with... I will have opportunities to branch out into other platforms and make more money... I just pray that I like it and maybe can make some friends with it as well...

D's Birthday was a big hit. I was able to pull off a surprise... and I think he enjoyed himself. His Girlfriend, whom I will call Ginger cause she is also a red-head, was able to join us. As well as his "Band Mom", Savannah (aka Banana) and her boyfriend, his Dad, our neighbors Nikki, Lorynn, Lillie, Gus, Laura and even Maxi (my soon to be EX-son-in-law). He was surprised (a bit) and enjoyed the food, music, cake, presents and the best part... a CAKE FIGHT!!! It was so fun... poor D only got like 2 bites of his cake before it was snatched from him to chase down Nikki and smashed into her face. It was her fault for saying something along the lines of "There's a cake in the house so you know someone is going to get caked"... yep... that someone was her. Check it out...

And with that... I'm going to head out... it's Wednesday so I've got some household things to do!!! Soooo... Later!
