Most mornings I wake up around 7 am and before I can make my Dunkin Donuts Pumpkin Spice coffee I am thinking about this blog. My goals are to make this blog relevant. How do I do that? I only know that being grateful works. Its a learning process, as I still get upset at events outside my domain and complaining is not being grateful. But, I realize as I complain to Stop complaining and just take a breath and say--BUT I'm grateful for...and then I list reasons: my home, my family, my friends, my next door neighbors. (Truly wonderful people-and everything I am not--they are Born Again Christians, gun owners and Republicans.) I am a left leaning regular Christian who doesn't go to church as often as I did in my younger years.

My desire is to be rich and famous (as it has been my desire since I was five years old) and to take care of myself and others with my money. Through this---I am grateful.

And to meet David Cassidy. My childhood idol from The Partridge Family. I've shook his hand at EFX in Las Vegas. I shouted to him (I had front row seat) You are Fabulous. He thanked me. I was in heaven. But my goal is to share a meal with him. Interview him and just thank him for making my life interesting.
