Who am I?
And while we're at it who are you?
I am very proud on my outlook of things. I realize that I put importance in and on the wrong things and that made me feel a little lost in who I am. I know that there are things that I am willing to stand up for and protect. I am not the type of person that wants a quick fix because I know that they aren't fixes. In a motifed version fo the old saying... that which does kill us or at least hurt...will make us stronger mentally. I am resiliant like a reed in the water, I am tough like a rock on the shore, I am Karina and I like me for me. Or the me that I am finally starting to see without outside influence. Though influences aren't bad. I just know that in past and even currently that there were things in my life that took over and I have an obsessive personality. I am willing to throw myself into things just for see if they fit. I have now modified that into trying things and taking from it what I can and moving on to the next new and exciting adventure. I have been to two concerts this week with people I have never hung out with. One a random person I men and the other a potential new really great set of friends (co-worker and wife). I am really realizing in my hard times who I can call friend. And I had hidden myself away from expierenceing things and life for far too long. I am getting better at doing things for and by myself. This weekend will be a first for going to an all day music festival solo. Perhaps I will make new friends there as well.
today's happy: A smile that starts on the inside and a hairs cut.

Indeed
Some days are indeed better than others. I am still managing to focus on me through all the crappy days. I tried a new workout tape this weekend and it kicked my butt. I only did 5 of the 20 minutes but wow. OUCH! I went for a walk after work lastnight and it was painful going down hills. I could barely raise my arms. Note to self: get lighter weights.
It seems far too many people are having bad days, myself included, but there are always good days or even moments during the day to lift us up above the drowning level.
Don't sweat the small stuff.

Update
Beans are doing super awesome. I just wish I had more direct sun on my patio area so they could really bloom. Perhaps I will have to get a heat lamp for them. See if I can glow some tomatoes. That would be sweet. I still miss my old apartment in that aspect. The afternoon sun that warmed my face as I napped on the couch is dearly missed but this place is bigger and better in some ways. We can't be happy all the time but for now... I am feeling more motivated to do healthy things for myself and to get out of the office and away from my desk on my breaks and lunch. I think it's better for everyone that way. Too much distraction and waaaaaaaaay too easy to just work instead of taking time for myself.
There is a lady at my office that is a great inspiration. She started at what I can only assume was over 300 lbs and has dropped 65 at last count. She is very proud of herself and her improving health is a huge motivation. I realized that though I complained a little bit the sore legs were a great feeling. It meant I used them.

Here's to health!!
