Sunscreen!

Taking a super quick 5 minute breather from applications then headed to a mtg. chhhhaaaabing! not sure where I am going but hoping that my mapquest directions get me there.

so a few things. I hope you all had a wonderful xmas! I know mine was much different from most years but nonetheless good!

My new years resolution....(after some long thought!) is ...........
to live in the here and now- the today!!! so this is my goal for the next year. I've gotten really caught up in my setbacks and i'm not sure why. the last broken foot put a toll on my fitness level and my self-esteem. I want to be where i was and i'm not gonna get there unless I start small so... i'm sucking it up and starting small..

some of you may remember this song (esp. if you graduated in '99)... it popped in my head today and I thought i've got to look up the lyrics and take some advice from it.. so here is what i'm taking with me for the next year!

"If I could offer you only one tip for the future..... my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience…I will dispense this advice now.

• Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh nevermind; you will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded. But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked….
• Don’t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday.
• Do one thing everyday that scares you
• Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, don’t put up with people who are reckless with yours.
• Floss Don’t waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes you’re behind…the race is long, and in the end, it’s only with yourself.
• Remember the compliments you receive
• Stretch Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your life…the most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don’t.
• don’t congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either – your choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s.

• Dance…even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room.
• Get to know your parents, you never know when they’ll be gone for good.
• Be nice to your siblings; they are the best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.
• Understand that friends come and go,but for the precious few you should hold on.
• Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young.
• Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard; live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft. Travel.
• Respect your elders.
• Don’t expect anyone else to support you.
• Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it."
