Maxine

Don't ask, don't tell!!!! Today I wanna be like Maxine.....Why? Don't ask, don't tell!!!! hee hee

Oh well, if you must know.......This has been one of those days or should I say months. I have read some hubs lately where some folks did not come out and say it but from their conversations, it appeared that they felt a little like Maxine...also. Maybe, maybe not....

Today has just been one of those days that things just have not flowed exactly right....you know the kind that just literally get off to a bad start from the day before and then something else comes along and then something else and then here you are feeling like Maxine. In fact the month of January hasn't been its best for me but I have grown on Hubpages and I am so happy about that. No, I am not where I would like to be, but I have grown. I am learning some great information from those who have been on here a long time and I am enjoying the ride.

I have actually been writing for four months, on Hubpages for three..not long, you say for writing. I am one of those who has always wanted to write but it is not all about the writing either. It is about making some extra money online and writing in the process. I have written before but never to this extent. I have a lot of things on my mind and when I put the metal to the pedal so to speak, it usually just flows...not that I have everything stored in my head....no, but if I have to research, once I get it into play what I need to write...it seems to just create itself. As I saw one person here say, I am a thinker. I think a lot and I try to stay in subjects in which I feel inspiration and know that I have a tone for. I do like to research as I am gaining knowledge when I do so.

Let me give you some of my background so that you will know why I am writing and that I have semi-retired a little early. I have been in the mortgage profession for 30+ years. I have managed, underwritten loans, originated loans (loan officer) processing, quality control and compliance...plus an early bout with due diligence and was working during the mortgage meltdown. After working contract just after the full time sector went backward, we decided to move back to my little bitty hometown. There are no jobs here much less something in the mortgage industry. So, rather than driving 30 to 100 miles one way to work...I have set my sights on making money online. I have found that Hubpages who has been extremely good to me is better than some of the other sites and I enjoy the comments and friend and look forward to more benefits of the old timers here.

I just wrote an article on Life - The Funny Side and I guess with my thoughts on Maxine I thought that maybe we all needed some more laughs. The truth is that laughter reduces stress, blood pressure problems and all sorts of ailments, so I am about to open up a whole new way to think tonight to get anyone out of a bad mood or who has been tackled with the blues.

Come on....let's laugh a little and we will be ready to punch these keys a little harder on Monday...and actually I work on Sunday a little also. Let's clear our mind of tired old stuff, helplessness, melancholy, pity, poor me, regrets, caution, cowardly and plain old worry. It does not help matters a bit and we need to laugh and refresh our minds and soul. We need to relax, regroup, revamp, revitalize, renew and form a positive imagination of what lies ahead.

So let's just see what Maxine has to say.....

Like I said tonight we are getting Maxine's idea of a wonderful day. Of course we do not take life this way for real but we can have a lot of fun making believe tonight that we are going to let Maxine tell us how to act.

I don't think Maxine has been on Hubpages so she has been given the treat of her life. Hubpages has been good for me and it will do her some good as well and probably straighten her out on some issues.

By the way...if this doesn't make you laugh...then maybe you just need to close your eyes and let your mind wonder back to something that made you feel significant and made you laugh.  You know the professional tell us that we can increase our memories of the bad and the good....and tonight, my friend we want the good...So have at it!!!! Do a little dreaming..
