Remains of Summer

The end of August draws nigh.....and so I say goodbye to "brain frying" days, sticky nights, the ice cream man and fireflies (hm mm ) yeah, okay, whatever. I always liked the Fall or more specifically Indian Summer better but (sigh) I digress. So summer is done and done, my plans? well there is a new career move on the horizon and a new home...promotion and White Plains here I come. I am making plans to improve my outlook on life and by extension my everyday interactions. I ordered a new book from Amazon; The Tongue: A Creative Force. by Charles Capp. Positive thinking and positive talk, hence (The Secret) are not new tools in the creative quest for a better life and I have dabbled before in the use of positive talk, but didn't stick with it. A second time will be the charm. As a hopeful and dreamy person,  its not so odd for me to dive into something this fanciful. I believe in the power of words both written and spoken. Aside from having designs on career advancement, I want to work on my social life and my creative life endeavors. How shall these things be done? well I like the looks of Meetup.com for the social aspect and The Learning Annex ( success in writing and blogging seminars) the other. I have a couple of friends from work who are amicable in assisting me with my plight, only problem ....me and my hangups, shyness and social anxiety. Oh well. I am a work in progress.
