Is anyone out there?

So since I've been so busy on my vacation doing practically nothing and not getting bored with it I've been trying to give my blog a facelift. As you may notice I have a new background which I like but I'm not sure I love yet. That's about as far as I've gotten, as far as I've been able to understand. This is even after dedicating several hours to it. How do people make their blogs so cute and unique?

One of the things I was able to add though was a clicker. A little thing at the bottom of the page that counts how many visitors I have. To my shock and amazement that number seems to be growing. I didn't know people actually looked at this thing. I do know a couple of people but according to my clicker it's more than I expected. Knowing this I might do some things a little different.

There is a zone between a whiner and complainer and pretending the world is perfect and there can't possibly be anything wrong with my life. It's the reality zone where good things happen and life is good but some days are bad days and sometimes life just stinks. Lately I think I have been leaning more toward the whining and complaining and not really looking at the good things in life. So here is one of my goals this year, look at what is good, find the blessings and have more patience and faith in the down times. That's what's going to make this year a great year.

And if your reading this, thanks for taking the time. It makes me feel a little special that people might actually be interesting in reading about my life :)
