Anger Management

I have been inspired by the road ragers, annoyed movie-goers, mall trampers, and the like to write a book. Since childhood I have been saddened and frustrated that people  "don't care" for strangers and don't treat them like their own family members. Yes I mean that. My husband received a nasty letter on his car right after Thanksgiving when it was about four inches over the line. If it was this angry person's own grandmother's car of course the letter would never come to mind. Also hubby's friend was confronted yesterday by perturbed stranger because he said he was talking too loudly at the bar they were in. My other friend butted in and almost got punched. Because our buddy was talking loudly? COME ON!! Is it harsh to say that we just don't care for people we don't know? Really attitude can make or break a person's day. Can we teach this in schools? Does it have to be posted in the media? What can we do? Yes it matters because everyone wants to be respected. And more situations I hear of or experience is really making my blood boil. People die from arguments. Stress an kill or harm one's health. This is an issue no one is taking action on and yes we should. I just need to figure out how to structure the book. On the alcohol note yes getting pissed off can also lead you to drink.

I'm alive...

and more than well! I got married in October! Smober since January with one relapse shortly after my last post in July however all is well. I do have some internal "stuff" I'd like to share but this year has been the best year since I can remember.

I do feel anxieties now and again even on the Citalopram but exercise (the rebounder, Pilates, and yoga) melts it away. I am reading Gabrielle Bernstein's book "May Cause Miracles" and that is huge. I catch my self doing the stinkin thinkin then I do her meditations. I still feel 'lazy' sometimes and I would, like you, do something I love making money from it as a full-time job. All I have to say is go for it. I'm thinking of writing a book based on visualizing what food you eat is doing inside you. I'm hoping that would help America's obesity epidemic. There are already plenty of food effects mood and beauty diet books out, but none I've seen about grossing yourself out by picturing what that pizza is going through your body or your stomach pstretching from pounds of junk food. Maybe I'll just do that right here or start another blog. Or website.

Writing here is total therapy for me, and I already feel better from my current negative thoughts. The common ones most peeps have like, "I'm not good enough", "I'm lacking interest", and "There's too much competition." Like Bernstein says you have to believe in miracles, and many have come to me in this best year of my life! I'm in an art gallery and sold two pieces already, I got married to a diamond in the rough, I now just have the occasional five ounces of wine with food and I am completely grossed out by smoking, I'm the fittest I've ever been and dropped any physical self-esteem issues, and I know I am pretty damn cool in general. That secret is to eat well, exercise doing something you love, and know that only you have access to your mood. Don't stew, just turn on the switch.

Love,
