Happy New Year!

This is my last blog entry for 2011!

2010 was an awesome year and 2011 was even better and I can only suspect that 2012 will out do them all! I started a fun new position at a preschool and met some great ladies and kids and made some lasting friendships this year. I bought a new little car and landed my first apartment which i call "The Hobbit Hole" because its in the basement of a old Victorian house and so cute yet short in the bathroom (If you are six feet tall your head will hit the ceiling) .

I went on a few great hikes around Colorado! A five mile at Palmer Park and the daunting Incline as well as learned line dancing and how to do a simple swing dance and how to Zumba! I started beading and photography!

I am thinking of goals for 2012 and i want to organize myself and keep up with my blog and home journal. To laugh more and play more and to have fun! To spend a day just playing with my camera somewhere fab.....

To let those I love live the way they choose without judgements and criticisms in my head. To love more.....To be in love and let myself fall in love....

Life is grand!

Happy New Year.....

Walter & Cheryl

Today I went to my old company where they were having a open house. I talked to old friends and old bosses and I went on a cool thing called the bio mat and almost went to sleep. I was so relaxed! I left smiling and so happy and at peace. It got me to thinking ;)

I went to see the muppet movie with my friend Kevin last weekend. People, I use to dislike the Muppet's. Really. I decided to give them a try. I have never seen any of their movies etc. They just creeped me out..big time. I was in for a surprise and delight. I LOVED IT..serious. I love the muppets! I laughed and was glued to the screen. This is a huge step for me! ;)

The main character Walter was born into a real human family and the trouble is Walter is a Muppet. :) He really did not belong and until he found the other muppets.

That is how it was when I found my old company. :) so today when i visited them all I was so happy...My people....Into health and wellness and happy and positive and accepting me for me....Love you guys. Life is good (mg)

HOW TO START BEING A POSITIVE GIRLIEPOO

I have not been here in a few weeks! I have had more then a few people come up to me and ask me how i stay so happy and positive and I tell them that it was a habit that I had to learn and then practice and develop. Two years ago when I first started practicing it I would be positive about everything all day long to the point of it being silly. Yet, it helped me develop my positive lifestyle. I would say happy things about even the most awful situations and was a bit irritating to a few people and the ones that love me knew that I was in learning mode and they just smiled at me. For months I would spend the whole day just practicing it and saying good things. I smiled....and I laughed.

Now..where am I? I am real now. I allowed myself to go back to Cheryl and what Cheryl believes and I now pull out my positive attitude daily. When a situation is wrong or gross ..I call it wrong or gross now. I do not find the good in all bad every time. Yes, I still will look for good in all and I still smile and I still pull out my positive attitude and yet i am real. People are now able to talk to me and get a real answer and not a Pollyanna "oh lets be glad" answer...

I am sharing this because I believe my two years of just being a positive robot were needed to develop a new way of thinking If you want to be a happier and more positive person I challenge you to go into the Positive thinking boot camp like I did and just think about what you say all day long and only come back with something helpful and happy and do this for months or two years like I did. I still do that 99 percent of the day and when I get into stinky thinking and try to justify it I simply empty the old excuse bucket (mg) and know that its old habits that are creeping up.

Have a great day....and be happy life is good....(mg)
