I am..

The Basics - STOP, DROP and ROLL

Disclaimer: The cluster map (see right column) where it shows where visitors to my blog are from have been archived. So what you see is basically just where I am. Thank you for visiting. I still know where most of my guests are coming from.

Today is Sunday,12th of July 2009. It is the end of the weekend but the sun never peeked out today in Buenos Aires, it is very cold here today. I woke up later than usual, or should I say I forgot to set the alarm, this girl was sleepy and it was just cozy to lie in bed under a thick blanket. Nice!

So I was here most of the time and I went to the store to grab some groceries (wanted to cook for dinner) and had sandwiches (miga) for lunch with a large mug of tea. It was a perfect day to listen to some good notes and I got to thinking that what I needed to get through this rough patch I am in - is a good rattling and shaking! So I go back to the basics - STOP, DROP and ROLL (remember the fire drills we used to do in school as children!) the most 3 important words for fire survival.

Here goes:

STOP - the denial for it has to cease NOW . I should say it out loud - there is no future in hoping to change where I am now. THIS IS IT, get it!!

DROP - the rose-colored glasses for the reality (my reality = what I believe in ) is that BIG changes are on their way. Drop any hope that absence and distance will bring anything positive. We all know absence makes the heart grow colder - fact!

ROLL - on with life. There is no turning back from this moment on. I just have to roll on forward and keep on going. No hurt feelings.

I have always hoped during the darkest moments of being away from Argentina (3 or so months ago) that one day, there is someone out there that is the other half of me who will love me unconditionally meaning no qualms, no ifs, ands or buts about it. That would be great.

But for my part, I am working on the basics - STOP, DROP and ROLL. I've got it..I've got it...just have to keep practicin' at it.

I am good. Thank you.
