My rabbit hole has not been a happy, contented place lately. I usually am a fairly positive person that sees the bright side of whatever the Queen of Hearts can throw at me.  I have become a fair and objective human that tries not to hurt anyone in the process of living my life or doing my job.  I have been grateful and appreciative to God for what I have and understand that what I want is not always what I need.  I know to be careful for what I  wish for because sometimes you get it and it's not what you expected.
 Lately, I have had a hard time seeing what I have and instead see what I don't have. This makes it hard to be grateful for anything.  I have not been feeling well physically and I know it is time for my regular tests to see that my physical issues are balanced.  I have been eating garbage that I don't usually eat and I am sure my sugar is out of whack.  I am stressed and crave those chocolate creme filled cupcakes all the time.  All of this has got me thinking that it's time I get off my ass and get myself back on track or I will wallow in self pity and the Cheshire cat won't even be able to make me smile.  God, I've become depressing!!  So when I am done here I will put yoga on the tv and hope and work for the best.
I posted I will never forget 9/11 last night before going to bed.  Naturally, today there are a lot of things going around about it. I watched David Letterman's and Jon Stewart's poignant monologs on their first show after that horrid day.  I watched SNL's first night back with Mayor Giuliani who guided the city with such courage and wisdom.  I realized something about myself.  I will pick my self up by the bootstraps and get it together.  One of the reasons I will do that is because I am a New Yorker.  I was born in The Bronx.  Not Bronx, NY, but The Bronx, because there is only one and it is in New York and there is only one of those too.  I have seen people come together as one and my heart is there.  Where I live now is far away from there geographically, but  when bad things happen to people around here, people band together f or the common good and help each other.  Why?  Because they are Americans. We will not let anyone get us down.  We will triumph because we are strong.  We have big hearts to help others not as fortunate as us. And we will be the best we can be when life gets tough.
Maybe I have had it too easy lately, ( yeah, right!) and have lost appreciation for what I have.  I don't know but It will get better and in my heart I know that. So let the Tea Party (the Mad Hatter's, not a political thing) begin. Life goes on and I am here to stay.
