Janet and the Pink Crayon Introduction

If only life could really be like one of my favorite childhood books, Harold and the Purple Crayon.  If that were so, I'd be living "Janet and the Pink Crayon" and I would be able to draw anything and everything I want and then it would come to life.  But even if that were possible, it'd still end up just like the book where even though Harold draws exactly what he wants, it often twists into different situations containing a lot of obstacles that he has to continue drawing to overcome.  Guess the author was trying to keep it real even in a children's book.

That won't deter me though - I'll always be a dreamer and I'll continue to use my (imaginary) pink crayon to take charge of my own life and attempt to create the life I've always pictured myself having.

I'm quickly learning I can't control everything no matter how hard I try.  Therefore...

What To Do When You Feel Like You're In A Rut

(2) Chant a new mantra: "Enjoy today, quit worrying about tomorrow" - check.

(3) Cut off the long hair - check.


(4) Have a little faith that everything will work out - in progress...
