Santa Fe - What Defines Us

Road Trips August 1st, 2008

So, I managed to drag myself out of the bed, after just 3 hours sleep.  I stayed up late last night and watched Batman – The Beginning.  I don’t think I have told you how much I love Batman, Wonder Woman, The Green Lantern and Superman.  But, I do.  So, I watched the movie last night and stressed out about the fact that the A/C has broken at our house again this hot summer. 

Well at 6:30 am, I was awake.  By 7:13 am, I was running through the neighborhood near my hotel.  And during my run, I predominately thought about set up tonight and the air conditioner at home.  Then I had a small epiphany again, if I focus on a positive outcome, it will turn out well.  And I realized that was critical for my life overall, is that I need to focus on the positive and that will create a better future.  There was quote in the movie last night, “It is not who you are underneath, it is what you do that defines you.” 

So, this morning I fired up my PC to post my blog from last night.  And I found one of the sweetest comments yet on my blog from Jayne Bramley.  She is an amazing clay artist.  She just exhibited last month at the Artist Nook.  If you ever get a chance you need to see her work.  It is vivid and real.  As part of her show, she created inspirational cupcakes that my baby girl thought were real.  I am sure there are pictures on the blog at The Artist Nook, you should check it out. 

Jayne’s comment this morning reminded me that I want to inspire and make people laugh.  That I should give them food for thought and that they always know I love them from the bottom of my heart.  That is what I want to define me. 

I closed a post last month with this and I will do it again:  “I am blessed, I am truly blessed, I’m blessed, I’m blessed, I’m blessed.”  It is already a great day….
