Well, I am trying to make my way back here. Why? I don’t know. I guess I need to have something to sort out all the new and exciting things that are happening in my life.
Seriously…my life is getting exciting.
I am feeling better and I have goals. Real goals.
Yep.
Jen is on her way.
Anyway….just bear with me as I work on my layout and organize some of my old pages. I am hoping to have things up and running again soon. I think I need to make some lists, though. My brain just doesn’t categorize mental lists like it used to.

Okay – time to come up with a new name for my blog. I just found out that there is someone in my Blogging Jens Webring with the same blog name as mine. She started her first. That means I should find a new name. Eeek – this always drives me nuts. I want a blog name with “Jen” in it. And nothing trite like “Jen’s Journal”. There are a million out there like that.
Hmmm…what to do. What to do. I’ll keep you posted.

This new little extension has just made my life a whole lot easier. I added both of my blogs and I am able to just click F8 and it opens a nifty little window that lets me type my whole blog post. I can upload pictures and add links and … oh goodness, it’s just a handy little thing! Click this little link below.

| You Are 65% Thankful |
- You are a very thankful person – for both the big and little things in life.
- Your optimism is powerful. Getting through hard times is fairly easy for you.
|
Okay – so I am quite a bit more optimistic than I was years ago. I kind of have to be…my body does not handle stress very well and I can’t afford to spend days at a time trying to prevent panic attacks, stress headaches, stomach ulcers etc. I have learned to shut out the bad and focus on the good when I am having a really stressful day. Unfortunately, though, I think I have swung too much the other way now. I find myself shutting out the bad to the point where I am very good at ignoring the unpleasant things in life – even those unpleasant things that I have to face. I’ve become less of a worrier, but more of an avoider. So, “where’s the balance?” I must ask myself again. I am really bad at finding the balance. I’ll make that New Year’s Resolution 1 this year…find the balance.
But, for now, I will focus on today. What am I thankful for today?
My daughter – an amazing young girl who is currently trying to balance the stresses of preteen life.
My family – supportive and loyal…and quirky and irritating…and generous and kind. I am lucky to have them.
My friends – I need to make more of an effort to really enjoy them and get to know them…and not be afraid to let them get to know me.
My faith – while it might feel out of reach these days, I know that it is something that I can always seek to strengthen when I am willing to make it a priority.
Happy Thanksgiving!!
And I now officially welcome my most favorite time of the year….the Christmas Season. Yayayayayayay!!! I looove this time. Yay! Happy Happy Happy! *insert the happiest, joyfullest (not a real word), perkiest image ever!!*
Yay!

Okay, I got the comments working and I learned *A LOT* about wordpress tonight. It simply rocks. I’m not happy with the current colors right now, but I’ll tackle that tomorrow.
I am soooo glad tomorrow is Thursday. I love Thursdays. It means that Friday is almost here and that makes me very happy. Let’s see if I can make it through tomorrow without another one of my killer headaches. Ech – I really hate headaches. I just can’t function when I have one.
