You know what drives me NUTS...people who accept what's given to them and expect mediocrity. CONTROL your life PEOPLE!!! Just because the money that is taken out of your paycheck for your 401K is forwarded to an investment company on your behalf does not mean that it's not your money and that you shouldn't take an active roll in managing that money. Don't just sit and complain about it and act as if it's not yours...DO SOMETHING! URGH! If you give money to someone at McDonalds you expect something in return, and I presume you look in bag to see what they give you in return. This is the same thing...look in the bag!

I'm sure you've heard the saying you are what you eat. For the most part think this is true...if you eat fatty food you will start to become fat. I wonder though if it has applicability to other areas of our lives. For instance...if you hang around stupid people, do they start to erode your intelligence after awhile? I know it seems cliche, but I seriously wonder sometimes if surrounding yourself with unintelligent human life forms can be a detriment to your own intellect. If that's true...I think I need to find a new job. Because I swear I'm getting dumber every morning when I walk into my office. I will expand on my coworkers later in my Blog I am sure.

About five or six years ago I heard someone refer to their life as a series of Walks under Chandeliers (I won't say where I heard the comment because it will make me seem a little more shallow and pop culture obsessed then I am in reality, if you have also heard the comment and recognize it's source, congrats). When I heard the comment it immediately struck me and has stuck with me all these years. It made me think of my own life and how it has been and continues to be, to some degree a walk under chandeliers. So, as I open my blog I invite you to discover the thoughts and activites that accompany me on my walk.
