On a much lighter note my God Son celebrated his 1st birthday on Saturday. Happy birthday De'quon Boucher. Though he gives his more a run for her money he is a wonder. She forwarded him celebrating and having a BALL with his birthday cake!! My smiles for the weekend!!

I have started to recieve Rev Run's Words of Wisdom daily to my inbox. I watch his show a lot and always like to "hear" what he says at the end of his half hour. Even though we may think it's a script. His thoughts though are really encouraging and mind opening. I researched his old words and I ran into this one that seem to hit it home.

Good morning

You must set your goals and continue to adjust and fix it daily! I heard someone say that an air plane is off course 90 percent of the time and the pilot has to keep adjusting it over and over until it reaches its destination Im not sure if that's true but It made me think We must set our goals and continue to adjust until we reach our destination and goals. Stay on course!

It seems like I am adjusting ALL the time. And I can't seem to see my destination. Not even the tip. I dunno. I'm ready to land my plane and start walking at my destination and enjoying it. But who's to say what is "destination". Life? Death? But I am trying to stay on course. Really trying. But some days it is sooo hard. So hard to keep focus. So hard to be fully encouraged to continue trying.

Another adjustment has been made and I hope that I can finally see some sort of destination soon.

Good morning. Many people are DECEIVED and give up too soon when their dreams do not manifest over night. They simply quit too early! We must keep on keeping on! The scripture says... "Be not deceived God is not mocked whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap. Keep doing the right thing!!! Stay strong! The scripture also says Be not weary in well doing for you shall reap a harvest if you FAINT NOT!! Your dreams are about to manifest! Keep on keeping on!!!!

God is Love

The only thing that I go into 2008 sad about is Shiba's health. She's really lagging and getting weaker and weaker as the days go by. I remember when she ran at amazing speeds. Doing things like it was nobody's business. I was so proud. She used to stand tall and proud. After a few hours no movement. Kept her poise through all the long hours of works. Hardly had I to stop and give her time to rest or catch her self. Her energy level was great. Now, she needs support to stay upright. Before 10 minutes she needs some power. It's heart breaking.

Poor Shiba. What am I to really do with her now? She's causing more of a headache now than anything else. It takes more work to get things done. She's dusty and really soon to be on her last breath. What can replace her? Who can replace her?

I've started my search. I mean I love Shiba but sometimes you just have to think about moving forward. I decided not to go with any of her sisters, brothers or cousins. That would be too heart wrenching. So instead I started looking at her competitors. And I decided on her.

The HP tx1000z series. This is no ToSHIBA satellite but it will have to work. Lol!! This ultraportable, lightweight, and powerful new HP Pavilion Notebook PC features a high-definition, diagonal 12.1" BrightView display that opens for standard use or conveniently twists for viewing files and movies in cramped spaces. Cloaked in HP's elegant Imprint finish, it's also packed with other optional features, including a fingerprint reader. yayyyy!!! It also has a versatile, convertible, 12.1" display. The high-definition, spacious display means comfortable viewing that won't strain my eyes. It looks super compact. I have the additional benefit of opening it like a classic notebook, twist it backward for presentations or to save space on a plane, or fold it flat like a slate. There is an option for the screen to be a touchscreen and used with the included stylus (which stows on the notebook) so I can easily add writing to onscreen content.Drawings and illustrations could also be done. (Not that I can draw to save my life.) The advantage of touchscreen is tapping the icons, file menus, and doing limited handwriting. YAAYYY!!

But Imma wait till Shiba is much closer to her death. (Say... two months). I'm sure the change over for me won't be that tragic for too long. I mean how long can you be sad with new electronics around.?

If someone asked me that question I probably would not be able to answer. Who am I really? I would probably just say I'm Renee Jorja Robley called an array of "sweet names" ranging from Ren, Penze, Penz, Renze, RenzePenze, Reno, Robs and some others just derogatory lol.

I'm also rude, crass, lacking tact, dependable, loving, funny, moody, determined, computer obsessed, shoe loving, always ready to take a nap and passionate.

I sometimes ask my friends what words they would use to describe me. Rude always seems to come up. But I don't think I'm rude, I'm just open/truthful/smart mouthed. And they love me like that. They know that they're getting my most honest answer and though sometimes I may not be able to "put it over nicely" they know exactly what I mean.

I hate beating around the bush and majority of the times I answer you're getting exactly what I mean. My dad says I'm belligerent. I think once I got insipid. Do those two words together mean "warmonger" Lmao... I got that once too.

But I'm me. You see me you get me. Sometimes people don't get it. The ones that do know that I am as passionate about them as they are about me. They know that I am reliable as a friend.

They know that there is only one Renee Jorja Robley!!

So it's 2008. And I'm quite happy to have rung in the year with my family. Even though we may have been on the road at 12. We were heading though to out Jewel to celebrate the new year in style. Though there was some stress before about the tickets, and getting them and where we wanted to go, I actually enjoyed going out and having some fun all dressed up and among adults whose main purpose was to have clean fun.

So with 2008 in full swing I start a new year, with new experiences. I hope that I really am able to look back on 08 and say "It was a good Year" and hopefully this year will be a life changing year.

To all have a PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!!!
