"And above all things, never think that you're not good enough yourself. A man should never think that. My belief is that in life people will take you at your own reckoning." Isaac Asimov
It has been quite awhile since I posted my last blog. 2010 has been a busier year than I ever expected it to be.
First of all, my intention for this year was to work less and play more. Well.....I have been playing a bit more but I have been working alot more!
My employer requested that I write a business development program for up and coming people in our industry. At first I did not even entertain the request as it was in total opposition to my plan. But after having the request presented to me a few times and in talking it over with myself and others, I decided to accept the task and develop the program. I am happy to say that I am well on the way to completion of said program as it has been eating up every spare hour and has created a bout of chronic TMJ!
When I started the project I not only questioned the time factor I also feared that I was not really capable of the task. This has proven to be untrue and now I see that I am and was very capable of this project. So the question residing in my mind now is why....Why do I still sell myself short? Why do I still have times of doubt? Why...after 22 years of playing the game at the top and setting new levels for others coming up behind me to achieve, do I sometimes still feel like a 12 year old?
Human nature , I suppose.
Well now that I am into this and seeing a light at the end my only concern is , When will the TMJ finally go away?

Face To Face
It all started about 12 years ago.
It was insidious at first. A few instances of m asking a question out loud when no one else was present and then having the answer come out of my mouth as well.
My Mom was still alive at that time and she would chuckle when I mentioned this occurrence and say, “Your talking to yourself…and you’re answering yourself. We all do it as we get older. As time passes you will talk more to yourself than to any other person.”
Oh well. This has turned out to be true! It has been day after day of me muttering to me all day long.
When my daughters observe and comment, I simply say, “I Love talking to myself and value my own opinion”.LOL
But now…..this other person has been getting spirited. Debates are more likely than not. Indecision instead of validation. And then this past month…..Well I know exactly what I/She has been up to.
I/She has been taking things…my things, my husband’s things, all kind of things, and I/She has been hiding them somewhere. I/She has been unable to locate so many things at this point that my hubby thinks that there is a real possibility of a Black Hole existing in our house somewhere!
So today I confronted Her/Me. “We have to learn to communicate “ I say. She/Me turned a deaf ear to I/She. No response. Sure…..after hiding all my stuff She/Me decides to shut up.
Menopause….It’s a Wonderful Time of Life!
