Friday Sunshine….

Posted on

I don’t know if it is cause it is Friday or cause of the sunshine, but boy do I feel really darn good today.  This has been a somewhat long week, feeling like the weekend may never show its lovely face, but I have made it, and guess what?  you have too!!

I don’t know if it is sunny where you are but I say enjoy every moment of it, cause the weekend will not be the same. 

This is how I plan to enjoy the sunshine:

I parked a little further this morning and walked in (as opposed to catching the bus from my car).

I plan to take a walk down to the pier on lunch.

I plan to open my sunroof (as long as the rain stays away)

We met in the windy city…

Posted on

This past weekend was a much needed retreat of nothing special but just hanging out with one of my close friends.

For a couple months I have been wanting to get to Chicago.  Hubby and I went for a relatives wedding about two years ago, but the trip was so rushed we didn’t get to really enjoy the city – I wanted to get back to enjoy what the city had to offer.

As it all worked out, my friend was working in Chi for the week and I met her out there for the weekend; just for a few days, but nothing is better than a few days to escape reality and responsibility every now and again…

Random Words of Wednesday: Respect, Love, Hate

Posted on

I had one of those restless kinds of nights and I had a few words playing in my head when I tossed and turned, and then as I went through my motions this morning and then sat still on my bus ride in, these are the thoughts that came in with them; I’m calling it – Random Words of Wednesday.

Respect

Respect is earned; therefore I guess it can be lost as well…

While you are busy pursuing respect one place, you very well could be losing it somewhere else

Love

Sometimes Love really has nothing to do with it…

You can love someone with all you have and it still not be enough….

We give love so freely, but at such a cost…..

Hate

The very thing you find irresistible, you can hate at the same time….

Releasing Control….

Posted on

I have a real tendency to let things that don’t go right, or my version of right, to really get under my skin.  I mean dig in and leave sores type of get under it.  My husband always tells me and has told me for years, “You have to learn how to stop letting the things beyond your control, control you”.  Every time he has said it, although correct, it has made me cringe.

Cringe, because I mean really, when you feel so strongly about something how much easier said than done is it to just let it go; to just say your piece and let that be it?  It’s darn near impossible for me – most times.

How do you? Like what do you do, to not let things take control?
