I remember watching this soap back in the 80’s and loved that there was a character named Jennifer. I also remember Kim Delaney being on All My Children, playing a character named Jenny. I loved being home from school to catch all the good TV. From game shows to talk shows and my soaps I watched from 12:30-4:00 on ABC and then the Oprah Winfrey show would come on. If we did have DVR back then, I maybe would have never left my room. I was a TV lover. Now, I’m so picky. I am on the internet a lot though and can waste a lot of time when I research something. I fall down the rabbit hole of google and time flies.

The difference is that I get to control what I search, versus watching a soap that pulled you into drama. I will admit to watching the Real Houewives, but I am not a drama junkie. I used to be. I am a peace seeker now…

Oh, the glamorous life…I was trying to finish this blog yesterday, but the baby threw up and life got crazy.  When a kid is sick, we stop everything.  She’s fine today.  Thank God.

I’m designing a program and working on the finishing touches for my book  Sexpot With Stretch Marks to come out January 8th, and doing a bazillion other things while raising five kids.  As a work at home as blogger/writer/entrepreneur and more, I am 24/7.  Lesson here is we must have time to play.  I don’t know what the point I was going to make yesterday except to cherish all of the days of our lives.  I have the busy disease and need to learn to not volunteer to do things or to say no more often…or yes to only the right things.  Good news is the holidays force me to focus on the important things with the kids and make lots of memories.  As I was typing this, I had to stop, throw on my referee jersey because my seven year came into the room crying because my four year old bit him for changing the channel.  Sometimes I live in chaos, so I do cherish the yummy, holiday moments as well as the everyday hugs and smiles, of course.  I make life look easy at times in blogging and on social media I suppose, because I focus on the positive when I am writing.  It’s hard to do all the things I do sometimes.  Scheduling in some special family time and some special me time this week.

Maybe we will talk about adding another family tradition this year to the Holiday season, which will be from Thanksgiving until the kids go back after Christmas break.  My eighteenth wedding anniversary is on January 4th and my book come about the 8th.  2015 is gonna rock!  Going to not set resolutions but something like blisslutions.  Maybe bliss will be the theme of the whole new year.  Makes me think of Edie Weinstein, my fellow Beliefnet blogger.  Check out her blog, The Bliss Blog.  We all need those reminders to follow your bliss.

As Joseph Campbell said:
“Follow your bliss.
If you do follow your bliss,
you put yourself on a kind of track
that has been there all the while waiting for you,
and the life you ought to be living
is the one you are living.
When you can see that,
you begin to meet people
who are in the field of your bliss,
and they open the doors to you.
I say, follow your bliss and don’t be afraid,
and doors will open
where you didn’t know they were going to be.
If you follow your bliss,
doors will open for you that wouldn’t have opened for anyone else.”

All the days of our lives…we should follow our bliss.
