Day 1

I started a blog a few months back and titled it "rant, rave and complain." I was going to use it as a format to write about all the frustrating things I encounter on a daily basis. I have since changed my mind. I saw Maya Angealou on a program last night and she was talking about how words are things and the power they possess. She talked about how words get into your home and your belongings, your clothes and eventually you. She actually thought she killed a man with words once and stopped talking for 4 years. That got me to thinking about the title of my blog and how if all I am writing about are negative things, that may be all I get back in return. I tried an experiment today and tried to think only positive thoughts and say positive things and by doing so hoped to feel mostly positive feelings. It was pretty successful today. This blog will be a diary of my quest to find my true purpose here on this earth and try to create a better me in the process. We are always telling our son that we are trying to raise him to be the best human he can possibly be. Yesterday I asked myself if I was the best human being I could be and my answer was no. I decided today to change that. I am adjusting my attitude, language and thoughts. This is day 1.
