That moment when I realize I have been content for a while and did not even know it!

I had been wondering where my ambition went, where my desire went. Not that I don't get spikes of those, but over all, I didn't recognize this feeling... Well there is one desire still, but I accepted I can't do anything about it and accepted it is not in my future and if it is, I will just have to let life play out...

But this odd feeling of not wanting anything more was not a bad feeling... What could the feeling be? I was calm, and I just didn't have any crazy aspirations. Then it occurred to me that I am content.  I am content!  And I don't mean I am material in a website, I mean I am happily satisfied.

I know I said this before but I just realized how long I have been content and didn't even realize it. I was so used to being in my head I was wondering if I was depressed or something even though I didn't feel gloomy. Not that I have not been happy before, but there was always something, there was always drama, or something from outside sources and it was turning me into someone I didn't recognize and I became familiar with that someone and then I didn't recognize my true self! So when I was able to breath, I wasn't sure if the air was right! LOL

Yeah, I have gotten bummed, and mad, and all that the past couple of months, but over all, they don't really put a dent in this feeling. I just recognize that I feel poopy, and I reflect on why. I decide to either fix the problem if I can or move on with my life if I can't because if I hold on to it, I won't be able to deal with the next one, before long my pile will be too big for me to carry, so I somehow have been consistent at letting go and not allowing things to come back.

Also, gardening... And believe it or not cleaning... And the animals... I guess it's a form of zen without not doing anything, but it keeps me focused on my present moments.

But yeah, Robert always said he'd rather be content than happy cause happiness is fleeting...

BFC Ink Doll Collection Complete!!

Well, if it isn't obvious, I got into doll collection, but I suppose I always was a doll collector, just not really by choice as my mom would buy me a porcelain doll every year for my birthday until I moved away for college, but even then I still got porcelain dolls as gifts from her and other members of my family. Over the years of course I have collected dolls from the 80's like the Kimberly doll by Tommy, and of course Barbie...  then I got into repainting Bratz dolls the past couple of years and added Monster High to the list of dolls to look for at flea markets etc... But one day, by chance I came across the now out of production MGA Entertainment 18" BFC Ink (Best Friends Club Ink) dolls.  These dolls are way cuter, in my opinion, than American Girl Dolls (which I really do not like at all actually) or Journey Girls etc...  They have a hard body all the way and were made in two types.  The first productions were just all vinyl bodies, much like the Wellie W...

Revisiting the name "Syren"

From time to time I contemplate this name.  It is a name I particularly love to see in written form and I actually love the sound of it when spoken.  But what does it mean?  It is a made up word or name that simply appeals to me. Syren makes me think of serene...  It makes me think of the sea.  Some people pronounce it see ren... others sigh ren... It was half chosen and half given.  I've said this many times before. (recap) When I'd audition for singing roles, the panel would always do a double take, and onlookers would be in awe of my singing... Mainly because they didn't know what to expect until they heard it.  Because of this the name was given to me. But the name Syren is derived of: siren- –noun 1.   Classical Mythology . one of several sea nymphs, part woman and part bird, who lure mariners to destruction by their seductive singing. 2.   a seductively beautiful or charming woman, especially one who...
