Things Learned today:
If I'm in a situation I where I feel powerless ask myself " If I could really make a difference here what would I be doing" Then Do that. I've learned things like a friend of mine had a baby, and another friend may have broken up with her boyfriend. I do emphasize MAY. And another friend will be writing for a talkshow in New York!

Decisions made today:
Every day I will commit to doing something that I've never done before. (Today that was starting a blog on blogger)
I will do a personal accounting of all that I do on a daily basis.
I will refocus my life and figure out all of the goals that I want to achieve in the short term and long term. In a addition to that I will commit to taking action every day for those.

Things that will be done tomorrow:
Continue to clean up my house.
Return all rental calls.
Pay the phone bill
Connect with at least five people on my list
Mail off cards
Play with camera and learn how to use it.
Brainstorm for an hour or two on my goals.

Good stuff that I put into the mental system:
Feel the fear and do it anyway.
