Dawning of a New Year

I am a little late in writing this post, but I have finally gotten around to it. Better late than never.  With the new year, a lot of people are making their resolutions. Deciding on what they need to work on improving this year. I haven't really gotten around to thinking about it yet.  After all, what does a bad pixie like me need to work on?

There have been a few revelations on my part lately. A few good long looks in the mirror and some outsider insight into things.  Thankfully someone else sees the things I somehow missed...

I am still on the fence about my one main goal for the year.  I think it may be one of a few things.  I don't want to say what they are, as then I am committed to those things. I want to try keeping my options open for now.

    I am not much for actual resolutions at New years.I do try to take a look at the year past and see whare I want things to go and if I was doing I hesitate to say the "right " things to make that happen , but at least working in a forward direction .that said if I see something in my life that is in need of fixing/changing at any time I try really hard to get at it right away,or at the very least note it and prompt myself to take a better look.Whatever 2011 brings you I hope it also brings joy, and wellness

    Go ahead and voice one Pixie; I've always thought it's meant to be more of a goal rather than a crippling commitment.

    I've added Fairytales to my scrolling blogroll over @ VSL; check it out under the heading 'All & Sundry Poisons' sometime.

    Fern- I try to make only one or two. Not so much a resolution for the new year, but a life change instead. Small changes throughout the year? Sure! I try to do that too. Otherwise why wait?

    Venom- thank you for adding me. I will have to go take a look.

    As per your request-

    I am working on a huge one for ME this year. I have stood by for too long and taken the backseat in life. Now that I have taken things back, I am doing for me and to hell with everyone else! Especially those who tell me or have told me- I can't, not to, don't you dare, what are you thinking? and all the other incredibly undermining things that make us doubt ourselves- when we damn well shouldn't!

    I know the way I 'used to be' and I am looking forward to getting back to that. Those were the good ol' days and I had a lot more fun back then. I did what I wanted and nothing could stand in my way. I am excited!

It's been a while since I have posted and I apologize for the time in between what I've posted recently. Having been traveling with my career, many times I'm exhausted when my head hits the pillow at night. I'll try to do better this year. Pixie Promise.

Teach a man to fish

The old saying " Give a man a fish, he'll eat for the day. Teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime. " has to do with teaching someone to do something. But what if they don't want to learn? It can be frustrating for anyone, how you can make something so easy for someone else to do and yet they still manage to screw it up. I know a few people in life like this. You can give them specific, written directions to follow, step 1, step 2, step 3 and so on... everything but hold their hand or do it for them. They still manage to blow it. There are people who leave you scratching your head in wonder, if they really just don't get it? They try, they honestly do and yet they fall short over and over, time and again. They either rush thru things, ignore things, skip things or try to just finish it now and come back later to clear up rather than do it right from the beginning. Um, no. It doesn't always work that way. I have always asked- if you didn't have ...

Bad Pixie? Yep, that's me!

I have recently found a website that is authored by a woman who is dealing with how her life has been changed following her husbands traumatic brain injury. In reading through her notations of his behavior, outbursts, threats, and several other issues she has come to deal with as they present themselves, I can't help but notice the profound number of similarities between her husband and someone I know very well. The one major difference is the timing of the occurrance of the brain injury. Her husband behaves this way as a result of his brain injury. The person I know behaves the way they do and may recieve a brain injury (think frying pan to the head) as a result. Although I would never do it, believe me, some days it is mighty tempting... A good friend of mine shared a bit of medical insight on all of this. "Post concusion syndrome or low grade brain injuruies do have a profound impact on personality, and are very often missed when the injury involves no LOC or very sh...
