Beyond Beauty

So it really is in the eye of the beholder?

After years of wanting to be beautiful I finally feel that way.  There is quite a difference between being told you are beautiful and actually believing it. It took me forever to have this chance to look in the mirror and think “Wow! I really am pretty.”   Unfortunately this came at a point in my life when I also realized that beauty only gets you so far. The rest has to do with talents, ability, emotional stability.

Yeesh! If only I had figured this out earlier. I could have been working on my talents instead of waiting for my looks to arrive. So my new goal is to grow my talents and find out what I really want from life.   This blog is part of my journey.  Time to let go my fears and see what I am capable of.

Wish me luck…….

Whatever shall I do…

Hello World,

I would like to take this moment  and share my pity party with anyone who would hear my cry. Am I alone out here or is my voice so similar to others that it has become a dull beat lost in the rhythm of sadness?  Ah it is not as if I have nobody to listen. I am sure that my family and friends would lend a sympathetic ear. I have a wonderful circle of people in my life.   Yet they all live so far away or they have families of their own now. I don’t want to bother them with my weight. They have their own to carry.

Sigh.  Life gave me lemons, but I was to lazy to make lemonade. Instead I just threw them in a pitcher with a packet of sugar and expected it to taste great.  Life takes effort, love takes time and the world waits for no person.  Age creeps up beside me like a trusted yet ominous friend.  I feel the hands of time ticking away at my soul.  Tomorrow I will do it… I am not prepared… Later when I have more skills… Oh the excuses I tell myself!

Perhaps tomorrow will be a happier day where I can let go my anxiety and enjoy the world as it is. Only one way to find out and that is to sleep now and awake in the morning with a open mind.

Adventure, Danger & All That is in Between

Welcome to my blog of doom… oops I mean blog of good cheer.  I plan on using this as a release on this emotional rollercoaster of mine. Yes I am the stereotypical tortured artist. Though these days I prefer to think of myself as the constantly learning artist. It’s a much brighter way of looking at the world. I prefer bright these days. There were too many dark ones I spent wallowing in pain and lameness. My new quest is to find all the beauty I can in this loco mundo.  I know it is out there just waiting to be enjoyed by the likes of all that are hopeful and optimistic.   If you are so inclined, please leave a comment on any post of mine and feel free to share links and photos to your own adverntures.
