the 7eventh...

So its the seventh... the one day in the month that is always dedicated to ME. Everyone should make sure to take out some time for themselves occasionally. I try to do it on the regular, but with my schedule- it can be difficult at times. Terrible excuse. But, with that said, I make sure to pick out a pocket of time for Twisted (myself) every SEVENTH of the month.

Why the seventh? well for me - that is the easiest day for me to remember. Seven is my favorite number, since I saw it that faithful day on Sesame Street. Ernie picked up his rubber ducky from the tub and squeezed it seven times... and I knew (even as a baby) that '7' was meant for me. [SIDENOTE: I think that is when i realized liked boys, too]

Seven is the number of 'perfection and completion' and its the day on which I was born. And besides all that deep biblical stuff.. its my fav! *wink* LOL. Did I mention that I am corny? No? Oh, we'll get to that on a later post.

So on this seventh, my focus is on GRATITUDE. Lately I have been slightly down about my current state of affairs. Mad about my job, pissed about my lack of funds, ... body image issues-- you know, that typical gay sh**. So today, I decided to take a step back and appreciate ME. Appreciate all that I am and all that I have. The family... the friends... the steady paycheck. When you appreciate the little things, your subconscious reveals even more beneath the surface to be grateful for...For instance, I am grateful for the paycheck, but I am even more grateful for my ability to recognize that it is JUST a paycheck.. and not the last step in my BRILLIANT career. Yea sometimes my friends can make me upset, but I am glad to have people in my life that I am emotionally impacted by.

So from the angel with the Twisted wing... be thankful.
