My crazy schedule

Good morning,

I didn't wake up until 8:30 this morning. Wow. Well, I was really tired last night.  I should explain.

I'm a night person. I frequently stay up til after midnight and sometimes I go to sleep and then can't sleep and get up and read or write. So, it catches up with me.

The point here -- I used to handle the weird sleep patterns better. Could it be that as I get "older" I need more sleep? Who knows. Since I refuse to admit getting older, I think I avoid the question.

But here's the important piece. Because I live the life I love -- I work for myself, set my own schedule... it doesn't really matter. I can sleep later in the morning. I can stay up later at night. Now don't get me wrong. I work a lot, and I love everything I do.

Point:  When you follow your dreams, live the life YOU want ... then your sleep patterns are yours to choose.

Ask yourself -- am I living life on my terms? Do I get up each day and do what I love? Is there something I need to think about changing in my world so that I can have that?

Happy Searching.

I could say TGIF -- but when you live the life you love, everyday feels like Friday, or Saturday or Sunday.

Have a great day.

Here we go

Good morning,

Well, today is the Iowa Caucus. Part of me says, "who cares! and I 'm already tired of the politics." The other part of me says, "here we go with our nearly year of politics and I'm hoping that whoever gets the presidential office CARES about the needs and interests of the boomers." I guess we'll know some important results in about 10- 12 hours. Glad I'm not in Iowa.

Point: For us, boomers, to get our needs met, we need to take them into our own hands, be proactive and NOT just depend on Washington to meet them. But, taking charge ourselves -- that's really good news.

It's really cold in NYC where I sit today. Winter has arrived. Let's make that good news. Use being inside more in a positive way: meditate, make lists of your goals and desires and actions to take, pursue your hobbies, become an advocate and write letters and emails about what's important to you, be loving with your mate OR take on a lover if you're single. 

Point: In cold weather, utilize your indoor time powerfully and have fun with it!

So, that's it from the desk of the Head Boomer on Jan. 3rd. 2008 --- which we know is the BEST year ever. Have a great day! (This is fun -- I love doing it.)

Excitedly,

Ann
