People often ask me what my favorite color might be.  I’ve always found that question extremely difficult to answer because I love ALL colors so much.  When I was a kid, I favored green.  It made me feel happy and alive.  But as I’ve matured, I have found that a lot of my work has shades of blue and aqua mixed together.  Blue and aqua would be two colors, but it is in fact my favorite. 🙂

Blue is the color of the clear sky and the deep sea. On the optical spectrum, blue is located between violet and green. Surveys in the U.S. and Europe show that blue is the color most commonly associated with harmony, faithfulness, and confidence.

Not sure why depression is linked to blue because this hue makes me feel really good inside.  So most days I am definitely feeling blue and love it!

As I start off the new year with new work I am reminded to strive to be my personal best.  For my entire life I have been labeled a “perfectionist” by family, friends, bosses and coworkers.  I used to think this was a bad thing.  A judgement call against me.  But today, psychology has established that there are two types of perfectionism.  Normal perfectionists pursue perfection without compromising their self-esteem, and derive pleasure from their efforts. Neurotic perfectionists strive for unrealistic goals and consistently feel dissatisfied when they cannot reach them.  I was happy to learn years ago that I was in fact “normal”. 🙂  I always have goals in mind that I know I can accomplish and I write up a plan to achieve them.  I work hard to get through the outline I created and when I arrive I have a deep satisfaction in my efforts.  Like anyone else, I do not like setbacks, but I do not let them “get me down”.  I just rewrite the plan to get me back on track.

All of the goals I have set for myself in 2014 are attainable.  Today I start the work!  

I hope each of you reading my blog can strive for “your own personal best” this year and not some unrealistic standards set by society/your family/your mate/etc.  Set goals…..write out a plan….and get busy!
