Manten La Perspectiva Correcta

This morning I watched my favorite tele-evangelist, Joel Osteen. His message (to us hethens that weren't in church) centered around keeping the right perspective.

Although, I have definitely heard this before, I found myself really inspired and dedicated to implementing a change effort in my own attitudes and perspectives.
Recently, I have found myself, asking myself, how did you get in this situation? why is this happening to me? I have decided that I need to keep the right perspective and remain focused on my ultimate goals. Also, I need to be confident and comfortable with the person I have become and know that those that really care about me and value me will be in my corner, regardless.
Grad school has allowed me to take time out for introspection and determine, am I being real and am I continually evolving into the person I strive to be?

January 1 Retrospective Rant

So...what's my New Years Resolution? I didn't really think of any for this year. I primarily put a lot of ideas, goals and feelings into perspective for the following year, so I guess that's a good substitute.

Apologies, respect, intimate moments, publications, self-care, peace and balance are a few things that were missing from 2007. Hopefully, we will cross paths in 2008...
