A good weekend
You know what, the Friday I was saved by you guys. I was already feeling better, after I wrote the post. Then I thought of reading some of your old comments to cheer me up. I ended up reading an old post of mine (where I was b****y about R’s wife) and your comments there. That made me giggle. That put a spring on my step and my shoulders didn;t droop anymore. The day went very well afterwards. Oh, V did get hired. My inputs were there too and to all fairness there was nothing bad to say. The guy must be only a year older than me, but does he look old! Anyway, I am not worried any more. I will do my work well and we will see. He could be an ally too. One never knows.
I found the best seller “The Secret” by Rhonda Byrne in my hand this weekend. I have read about 30 pages or so. I am still a skeptical about that good thoughts alone can change things. I mean I can buy it that if I have positive thoughts and visualizations, it would help me be better. But there was an example where a gay guy was being hassled at work. He practiced the positive thoughts for a while and all the hasslers either quit or got transferred. well, that was a little tough to take. I wish he could have just got stronger by his inner positivism and stood up to the hassling better. When the hasslers can’t bother you, they give up. Anyway, I figure that from when I was 4 yrs old or less, I have been daydreaming all the time. I can so easily conjure up good daydreams. If nothing else, I will be in a better mood. I will figure out solutions to problems. So going to try this positive thoughts thing for a while. Need to read up the rest of the book too.
Went to a fancy plush gym today. I liked it quite a lot. They have aerobics, spinning and power yoga classes. I am thinking of joining next week. It was good to go there. It is going to be good fun to be active again. I used to get major highs from working out. Though this time it would need to be more intense and less lengthy. And then I am eating relatively better these days. All together I feel I can expect some steady weight loss once I sign up.
Watched a few movies this weekend. Yesterday I watched about half of “Step Up”. It was playing on tv and I caught on about mid way. It was nice. Then I watched “27 Dresses” on DVD. It was quite cool and cute. I loved it. Then today again I took my mom to the nearby movie multiplex and we watched a hindi movie “luck by chance”. It was based on the hindi film industry. A very nice movie. Loved the lady protagonist. Could so identify with her.
A new week starts tomorrow. Of good eating, working and working out.
Love to you all.

I think you are on the right track girl. I also go back and read once in a while, keeps me focused and steady.
Glad to have you back Ini, missed you when you were gone.
I like 27 dresses too, thought it was light and funny

The gym sounds really nice. Let us know if you go for it. I loved the movie 27 Dresses. Cute. And I swear, I have some dresses uglier than hers. Big bows and everything! What are some of those brides thinking.
Have a fabulous day.
Hugs, Bobbie

Oh, hello sweet Ini - I truly have missed you, you know. I’m so glad that you’re sounding so “up” and optimistic. You’re so smart, and have so much going for you - I’m glad you’re starting to see that. “The Secret” is just a mish-mash of new-age (and some old-age) philosophy which all boils down to being no secreat at all. You get what you focus on, and the stronger and more single-minded you are about it, the quicker you get it. So what else is new, right? If you really want to understand the quantum physics of creating our own reality (which is what we do of course by every choice we make) take a look at the Seth Material by Jane Roberts. I started reading it back in the ’70’s and it’s become my personal lifetime philosophy. In the meantime, keep up the good work, good attitude, great outlook - things are moving forward for you, Ini, and I’m so delighted to see that!
Hugs,
Z

Hi Ini…you wrote this post on my daughter, Caroline’s, 25th birthday. I was in Virginia with my mom and Roseanne (middle daugther), and we had lovely time. I will post photos. Ini, I’m so glad you’re doing well, and feeling well. Thanks for your note of concern, too.
Hey, I joined the gym too! I’m trying to stay positive…and I’m thinking….I believe we will ALL get what we want from the universe. Is that really such a big secret? BTW, I agree with your thoughts on the book. In my opinion, it can, at best, serve as a reminder of what is possible.
