Opening Day

Today is my first day as 5 Elephants. I created this blog to provide an outlet for myself and some privacy to openly complain about whatever I want. Sometimes its friends, sometimes family, sometimes work, sometimes school. But I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings I just want to get it out of me!

So, today I set a goal of writing each day. I want to have fun, exercise my brain and relieve stress.

Something I love: my first cup of coffee each day. I love the creaminess that my vanilla creamer adds. The warmth of the coffee flows through my body, sparking my brain and limbs into life after a night of slumber. I like too wrap my fingers around the cup and let the warmth travel through my hands and up my arms. I close my eyes and see a forest of naked trees, blanketed in snow, awaiting the arrival of spring and thawing. Perhaps a deer jaunts through, wearing a red scarf. Ha ha ha

In a few minutes, I will be jaunting myself across town to work. I was asked yesterday if I liked what I do. I responded, sometimes. That's an honest answer. I would however like to like what I do all the time. More people should aspire for that. That does require making changes over time and recognizing when you are settling. I would love to get to a point when I can make a change because the time is right and not be tied to the paycheck that comes with the job. One of these days that will not be the issue. In the meantime, I will continue to do what I do, until I find something that I love to do. Perhaps if I love to write, then I can love that and then doing what I do won't be so bad.

My lovely cat is staring at me. I see her questioning me: Why did you take my chair? Why is it so cold in the house all day? Why can't I sit in your lap endlessly? I like sharing your pillow, your head is warm. Very needy. She's getting older though. 17 this spring. She's skin and bones, eats pretty well, is currently screeching in the other room, and like the new rug that I got over the weekend. She will probably like the new couch I buy to go with it. She also can walk and hurl at the same time, leaving a bit of a trail sometimes. I digress.

Time has come to wrap it up for now. I'm off to the bank, then work. Why does it have to be a 4 letter word?
