Mardi Gras, Gras!

So it's Fat Tuesday I hear!

Time to party or at least enjoy the day before these coming 40 days of Lent. I am excited because...

One: I will be ordering delicious Mardi Gras beignets (yum!)to celebrate

And...

Two: these coming Fridays will be full of vegetarian options for me wherever I go...well more options than now and more people willing to eat vegetarian-style with me.

Here's to the Pensive 40 of 2011. I hope to grow closer with Christ...that is my prayer for Lent.

Peace Out, and See you on the flip side!

PS: The title above is no mistake...I am going to make it a very 'fat' 'fat' Tuesday. Go strong or go home :)

How fat you may ask?...my Tuesday will be signing up for the next season of the biggest loser...holla!

Emotion Spectrum

So sometimes life is not fair and that is okay...I can live with that but, not jumping from emotions of great disappointment directly into 'glass half full' mode.

I used to do that time and time again always avoiding feelings of disgust of failure, downfall, defeat, and unrest...

...always telling myself...no worries it will be okay...but doing that right away.

That used to be me a while back and now looking back, I can see the difference.


And it is amazing how much I have grown as a result. If something or someone (which is usually the case) sucks I give myself time to rage and let feelings come out.

I have realized that all of our emotions are good and like the color spectrum are ever-present. I can't just use blue and go to yellow - thus avoiding red...I want to let red have a moment in the spotlight.

Booyah world and the emotions spectrum...I'm gonnna use you up...in moderation with maybe more yellows and hopefully less blues...and hues of red here and there.

It is interesting what feelings add to the human experience...we'll see where else they may lead me.

PS. no clue how this all came about or why I wrote on the topic...

But HEY, why not!?
