2012 Here I Come..

Life just takes you along, you don't really have big choice about it do you?  Like buying a ticket to a different country you choose where your headed but if you hit a fucking snowstorm and land in Kansas, its still your fault, you chose that plane! 

Well I'm not in Kansas, I'm in Sandy but still.  Ive made all of the choices to get me here, and I of course accept all of the consequences of my decisions... But life just fucking brought me here and dropped me on my ass, lifted me up gently by my hands, dusted me off.. then kept fucking going.

I have a new job, one where I have time to blog once more, so if I do have anyone out there who ever strolls by ThreeDragonfliesOnTheMoon I thank you.  I've taken another step towards my goals.  I did get in a wreck and my car has 4,000 dollars worth of damage (estimated before taking it apart to fix it), so Im on foot once more but work is close to home thank goodness.  I am a receptionist.  I dress in business pants and smile frequently while looking pretty, and I get paid to do it.  

I discovered some volunteer opportunities I plan on taking advantage of now that I have some more time and a little extra cash ;)  I'm really looking forward especially to the following three:

The Utah Rivers Council is my preference.  I read an update stating that UTA is planning on destroying many parts of the Jordan River Parkway and I about freaked out...  Here is a link to that and if any one does stroll along here please, for the sake of our community and the creatures we share our environments with, write a letter to the following asking to preserve the little nature we have left:

Gov Gary Herbert
Utah State Capitol
350 North State St, Suite 200
PO Box 142220
SLC, UT 84114

If the link over Jordan River didn't work you can go to the following web address:

Well, all in all I'm happy to be where I am and I'm so extremely grateful for what I do have.  Im excited for 2012!  My family is well and I am greatly appreciative of that, my boyfriend and I are keeping our heads above water in our nice little home, and I'm starting school again!  Whew.  Everything will be ok, I just have to keep on keeping on, right?  I got a kindle for Christmas and I put an app for Positive Affirmations and an app for Motivational Quotes on it.  I try to keep one of each on mind for the day, every day. 

Affirmation of the day:  "I can handle all the changes that come my way"
