It's been a rough week.  I've been dealing with depression and have been feeling very antisocial.  Everything came to a head last night and as I was laying in bed, I did a little psychoanalysis on myself.  The result was a major breakthrough in understanding myself and my patterns of behavior.  I had some big "A-ha" moments before shutting my eyes.  Now it's the next morning.  Life goes on.  I have to go to work and get on with my day.  But behind the scenes, my mind is asking, "OK, what's next?  How do I make the changes that I need to make?"

Seriously:  this is the biggest realization of life I've ever had.  It affects everything in my world.  I can't ignore this one!  I have a feeling that I will be working through this stuff for a while to come.

The last two weeks have been very interesting in my life.  These two weeks have been filled with one opportunity after another.  When I speak of opportunities, I am referring to those relating to job/income opportunities.  Nothing is happening yet but the opportunities are right before me.  I've had opportunities come my way in accounting, real estate internet marketing, ministry, mortgage acceleration, and mortgage loans.  The opportunities have been coming at such a steady rate that it has been a bit overwhelming.  They have ranged from single short-term projects to part-time jobs and even to full-time opportunities if I wanted to pursue them.  Wow.  I'm feeling like pursuing all of them and seeing what happens.  Eventually, some will have to fall by the wayside due to time constraints and the most important will rise to the top.  The hard thing now is figuring out how to deal with each opportunity on a daily/weekly basis so I can figure out which opportunities are the "right" ones long term and which ones are just for "right now". 

Now if those opportunities could just start happening and bring in the $$$, I would be really happy!

Last night I went to see Mamma Mia.  I had been looking forward to this movie for a while because (1) it is a musical, and (2) I love ABBA!  So a whole movie based on the music of ABBA was something I welcomed.

Now let me tell you, this is not a great movie.  But it is a FUN movie.  I had a smile on my face through the whole movie and I found myself singing along to the music.  I hate to admit it, but I knew almost every word to every song.  Scary, I know. 

If anything, I would say that this movie is like High School Musical for adults.  Here's a short clip:



I will be the first to admit that there is definitely a cheese-factor to the movie and Pierce Brosnan has no business singing in this movie whatsoever.  But if you like the music of ABBA and enjoy a happy, fun movie, you are sure to like this one!  And by the way...Meryl Streep was fantastic!
