Is it Worth It?

If you are chasing your tail wondering if you will ever find yourself (like I am), and you have started taking the process too seriously, YOU HAVE TO READ THIS ARTICLE! I laughed so hard with every quote from the person being interviewed. And I have to let you know, I am a sucker for profanity – I can’t help but laugh when someone lets their hair down and slips out a four letter word. (Although, in this article the use of the socially unfriendly verbiage wasn’t necessarily ‘slips’, but funny nonetheless.)

Here is someone who had spent decades looking for himself and had decided to give up. The very name of the article “Search For Self Called Off After 38 Years”, as if this were a report on a crime scene is hysterical in and of itself.

Lines that cracked me up the most Well, I don’t want to give too much away, but here are some great lines - “From now on, if anybody needs me, I'll be sprawled out on this couch drinking black-cherry soda and watching Law & Order like everybody else." , and, "The only books I'll be reading from now on are ones that happen to catch my eye in the supermarket checkout line on the few occasions I leave my apartment to buy more Fig Newtons," I will leave the rest for you to read. My more favorite parts have the bad words. LOL!!!!!

Welcome!

This blog will be about self awareness, actualization, appreciation and the like. I do not claim to be an expert at any of them, but since I am so consumed with the subject I thought I would use this as my experiment. Goodness knows that I have researched the topic enough by reading books, magazines, watching videos, meditation, going to group meetings, personal counseling, taking classes… you name it, I’ve done it!

This also gives me an opportunity to try out another blogging tool. My favorite so far has been blog.com, but I want to expand my horizons and use other tools.

I hope you find this a useful place to think your thoughts and explore the ways to learn about yourself. Maybe one of us will eventually become an expert (if you are not already!)
