Makes Me Smile...

It doesn't matter how I'm feeling, when I see a dog hanging out the window of a car it just "makes me smile!" Don't really know why and doesn't really matter, it just always lightens my mood. Animals have an unconditional love that can't be beat. I'm grateful they bring so much joy to our lives and we can share this world together!

The Web...

"In the spider-web of facts, many a truth is strangled." 

Learning to listen to my inner voice is hard sometimes. It takes practice and patience to be still and trust that what I KNOW is what is right for me. Even when the world fills my head with facts and opinions it can get confusing. It's a delicate web, that if built in the right place, can withstand almost any weather.

A Mother...

~ Happy Mothers Day ~ 

I love Mothers Day not for the breakfast in bed, not for the thoughtful gift, but that it's a day that celebrates the best job in the world! Growing up, there is nothing I wanted to do or be then a mother. The choices I made throughout my life didn't always work out like I'd planned and my vision of what kind of mother I wanted to be had to be altered, but I was still the best mother I could and that is good enough.  I love offering those in need of a little "extra mothering" that special touch that only a mother can give. And it doesn't matter who they are, we all want our moms and to be loved ~ there is enough LOVE for everyone.

Present Moment...

I had cancer thirteen years ago and today I was talking to a lady going through cancer treatment. She was saying how she now treasures the "present moment" more then she ever did. A good reminder to not wait until death knocks at your door to enjoy the moment your in!

Believe...

"Always believe something wonderful is about to happen!"

What if each and everyone of us believed this? Would that be awesome...

The glass is either half full or half empty ~ it's all how you look at it, and why not ~ just believe something wonderful is about to happen!

Open Door...

Today I was stuck working in a big building all day which is fine as long as I know I'm able to head outside to see the daylight and get some fresh air sometime during the day. But today that didn't happen and when I left I just wanted to run as fast as I could through the open door and scream I'm free, I'm free. I've never been a person who could stay inside a big store or building all day - I HAVE to get out, other wise I feel trapped and caged in. Crazy I know...

Annoyed...

I really enjoy cooking and I do a lot of it, but I get annoyed with myself that I'm forever messing up the front of my shirts because I don't put on the apron I have. I really don't know why other then - it's not a habit - I don't know! I do know that I don't like having to spot clean my shirts all the time and hope the stain comes out. Maybe with some awareness and writing about it I will remember to put my apron on !!!
