Genki-ness!!

Have you noticed I changed the name of this blog? It’s what I always wanted it to be, but wasn’t sure anyone would get it. Do you remember the Will Smith movie “The Pursuit of Happyness”? They spelled happiness wrong–and they did it on purpose. This is the same thing–Genki in japanese means healthy/happy/fine, so Genki-ness would be my Japarican way of saying Happiness!

So…what to do with this blog? I’ve been thinking long and hard about where this little blog should go. I have a ‘family’ blog over at The Nykaza Family. I have a cooking blog over at Cheffin’ It (mind you it’s down for a makeover at the moment), I have a restaurant critique blog over at Restaurant Hopper–where should this blog go? I thought of hobbies. I used to do genealogy before I became addicted to blogging, but not really a fun blog subject. I used to scrapbook. Again, not a lot of input on that one. I could go all out Conservative Republican on you–but as much as I keep myself up to date on the issues–I am never one to argue. So I decided to stick with the title. Genki-ness!

Do you remember Oprah always said to keep a journal of thanks? Count your blessings per se. That will be more of what this is. It may steal content from another one of my sites. If my baby did something amazingly cool that day that warmed my heart…this blog may dip into the familial stage. If I find a recipe that brings a smile to my face, I may flash some culinary flair. As a person suffering from depression, I’m hoping something like this will help keep my feet and brain grounded in the fact that my life isn’t as bad as my mood makes it out to be. For every post I would like to find a complementary photo–something that brightens the eye as well as the heart! Because I’m not very good on living on the optimistic plane in life…my goal is to update this blog at least 3 to 4 times a week…but I really wouldn’t mind every day!

Some of you may find this path boring—but for those of you along for the ride…wish me luck!!

We’re Back!!

Wow…It’s so good to be back! My renewal was due for my domain on the 6th of August with GoDaddy.com. I paid it on the 5th of August–and got a receipt and everything–but GoDaddy never updated their side of it. So they parked it!

I’ve spent all weekend sending emails back and forth trying to get it figured out. Finally–they were going to get a scathing phone call from me today when I got home from the vet and luckily–they got it all figured out on their own!

It’s good to be home!!

I Don’t Know!!

Well, I got a new puppy thinking I really wanted one, and you know what…it’s not filling the void that I was trying to fill! I know, bad choice. Now I’m stuck with a puppy. Just imagine how bad it would be if I thought a baby would make me happy!!

Wasatch doesn’t have to stay ours. We are currently ‘tending with the option to keep’. I’ve adored snuggling with this little guy, and I really do think he is happy with us. But you know, I already have a three year old boy that I can’t keep up with–I really don’t have the sanity left to pick up after a new puppy either! His previous owners don’t get back into town until Labor Day–so I really do have a little while to make sure he’s OK for this family.

I did start back up with my anti depressants, so really–come Labor Day Eve–he may just be a perfect fit!!
