I have just discovered that I have a strange internal need to try and fix people, organize them. I worry and worry and connect with the people who struggle...I should absolutely be concentrating more on the strong and mighty people and learning how to become one of them.

I don't just want to get by. I want to LIVE. To continuously feel like the dog in the backseat with her head out the window; tongue hanging out and enthusiastically breathing in the energy of life. I have a current of electricity running through me and it will be used for something great--this I know.

New Non New Year's Resolution: stop having the kid run things. I KNOW we are totally bigger than she is and know more stuff. I'm sure of it.
