ioi , Brigadoon, moods...Weekly updates.

I’m going to start giving weekly updates about some of the small things that make up large parts of my life. Most of them will speak for themselves, if you have questions please feel free to leave me comments about them.

ioi moment o the week:

Let me introduce you to “ioi moments!” This is something a friend and I came up with over our Christmas break this year. It all comes from a habit of mine. When I find victory or happiness in something I tend to raise both hands straight above my head and take a deep breath in. Over the past year this became known between a few friends and myself as my “Victory Stance!” When someone pointed out that the common shorthand or text talk term “lol” looked like a drowning man, I realized that ioi looks like a person with their arms raised above their head. There are two acceptable ways to call this moment 1) pronounce the letters used to create the visual of this person with their hands raised or, 2) just call it a “Victory” moment, using ioi simply as text symbol.

I have chosen to make ioi moments a weekly update on my blog – and I may even begin using it daily on my Facebook, Twitter, Skype, etc. Why did I make this decision? Because we always claim that God is victorious over all things, we claim fullness of joy and a realization of prosperity in the Lord. Yet, how often do will still complain about how things go wrong in life. I tend to complain allot more than I should. I have running water, a loving family, a safe home and a free country. That is more than most people in the world can claim. I am blessed, yet I don’t always see it. So, I am making it a point every week to point out a victory in my life. So, be keeping an eye out for these ioi moments, they will be coming.

Brigadoon update: Last rehearsal was a blast. The ticket sales committee is beginning to meet, sword fight choreography has begun and the vocals are sounding amazing.

Poetically worded mood of the day: Significance is found in the eye of the beholder, in this moment I contentedly find my own insignificance.
