La Shawn Barber has points to ponder

La Shawn Barber’s Corner » Big Blue Balls and Other Stuff has some “points to ponder”.

She asks what our fav ideas are from the list, Bob Larson’s “rules for survival”. So I popped over there. Mine are:

• 1. Get and stay out of your comfort zone.
• 3. When you’re ready to quit, you’re closer than you think. this one is so true- I have experienced it too many times on both sides of the equation
• 5. Focus on what you want to have happen this is one I need to implement- a future rule for me, if you will
• 14. Solve your own problems.

Those were my favorites, but all sixteen were nuggets of wisdom, some of which I have learned and some I wish I had learned.

I appreciated La Shawn’s observations on blogging in this article – we need to focus on providing real content of some sort, although the viral quality of news item alerts is a valid use of the blog. Sometimes you just want to highlight something, but regurgitated headlines? that is stale before it hits the page, usually. What I didn’t appreciate was her trip to get cake. It made me hungry. And I had to take my own trip to the kitchen…. so much for my good intentions to eat healthy today.

But not to blame La Shawn, I was inclined that way from the time I got up this morning. Resistance was going to be temporary, anyway, the power of suggestion only needed to be feather-lite to tip me over the edge.

So what did I eat I know you are dying to know? I had a slice of cinnamon butter pound cake…ok? With fresh blueberries.
Now you want something sweet and calorific, don’t you?
