I get very ritualistic at the magic hour when the year flips. What I can change and control is attitude. But, as an adult just know that ingrained habits don't usually evaporate in a nanosecond. Lifestyle changes you want to make take as long to build as they do to eradicate. It's quite sufficient for me to make that mental commitment and plan on New Year's day and then just start working toward it...whenever it comes up in the new year. I really smiled at this quote, because I loved that film and could relate to how Bridget's mind worked. She seemed like a very believable character.

True, very true. Still, can you imagine living in a world where every person agreed with everyone else? I even argue with myself sometimes.

I really suspect that people sometimes tell themselves they can't do something because they're afraid of failure. In their own esteem as much as through the eyes of others. One needs to allow themselves a certain amount of mistakes and accept them as graciously as they would another's. It's part of the learning curve. This said by a woman who after many years of not sewing clothing just tailored herself a beautiful blouse two sizes too small. It was hilarious, as when I was sewing it, it looked SO BIG! I'll find somebody whom it will fit, and who likes it, and pass it along. What I gained from the experience is from now on, I'll know my size and any more new blouses will fit. LOL.

Talk about thinking outside the box. Read this which I got in my email today. MORALS... You are driving down the road in your car on a wild, stormy night, when you pass by a bus stop and you see three people waiting for the bus: An old lady who looks as if she is about to die. An old friend who once saved your life.. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about. Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing that there could only be one passenger in your car? Think before you continue reading. This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a job application. You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first. Or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be the perfect chance to pay them back. However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again. YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS..................... The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble coming up with his answer. He simply answered: 'I would give the car keys to my old friend and let him take the lady to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams. Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought limitations. Never forget to 'Think Outside of the Box.'
