Inspiration

While tweaking my profile on Facebook, Archbishop (new Cardinal actually)Timothy Dolan is next to Eminem and Ellen DeGeneres. Three public figures who are so drastically different!

I enjoy reading Cardinal Dolan's blogs--because now that he is based in New York, we do not get to hear his radio messages like I used to. Especially this time of year with Lent beginning on Wednesday.

What folks hate about Eminem, I admire. He isn't afraid to say what he is thinking, even if it means his music is tagged as "explicit." He sure has endured a lot in his young age and I like that a white boy can rap.

Ellen's lifestyle doesn't jive with my Catholic values, but she is a good role model with her kindness, generosity, and sense of humor.

Wouldn't it be cool to eat dinner with all four of them at once? Quite the interesting topics of conversation I'm sure!

Perpetual Grumpiness

I hate myself lately. By 6 p.m. I am the worst form of evil....so tired and grumpy. This isn't good for my disposition or anyone within a 6 ft. radius. I'm raring to go at 5:30 a.m. but by 5:30 p.m.--watch out! Is it my age? My lack of exercise? Hormones? Stress? All of the above?

Whatever it is, I need to take action! Beginning tomorrow, after a long night's rest, and mass, I will go for a walk. It's a start...on my way to a new me. :-)

Friday Night Funk

One should look forward to the weekend but it seems like when Friday night rolls around I have absolutely no energy to do anything. Nothing, nada. No initiative--just want to crawl into bed and sleep. Work sometimes sucks the life out of me. :-(
