Ever Wonder...

When I saw this I thought "ahhh, never thought about it that way. It's kind of funny when you stop and look at something in a new way." That's one thing I admire about comedians, is their way of looking at life and finding humor. It's amazing how one small twist of thought can change the way you see. So just take a moment and just wonder...

Why the sun lightens our hair,
but darkens our skin?

Why don't you ever see the headline
'Psychic Wins Lottery'?

Why is 'abbreviated' such a long word?

Why is it that doctors call what
they do 'practice'?

Why is the man who invests all
your money called a broker?

Why is the time of day with the
slowest traffic called rush hour?

You know that indestructible black
box that is used on airplanes? Why
don't they make the whole plane out
of that stuff?!

Why don't sheep shrink when it rains?

Why are they called apartments
when they are all stuck together?

If flying is so safe, why do they call
the airport the terminal?

Joke...

Laughter is the best medicine...

A man goes into a bar with his dog. He goes up to the bar and asks for a drink.

The bartender says "You can't bring that dog in here!" The guy, without missing a beat, says "This is my seeing-eye dog."

"Oh man,” the bartender says, "I'm sorry, here, the first one's on me." The man takes his drink and goes to a table near the door.

Another guy walks into the bar with a Chihuahua. The first guys sees him, stops him and says "You can't bring that dog in here unless you tell him it's a seeing-eye dog."

The second man graciously thanks the first man and continues to the bar. He asks for a drink. The bartender says "Hey, you can't bring that dog in here!"

The second man replies "This is my seeing-eye dog." The bartender says, "No, I don't think so. They do not have Chihuahuas as seeing-eye dogs."

The man pauses for a half-second and replies "What??! They gave me a Chihuahua??!"

Words...

Words are powerful...

I had lunch with a friend yesterday and as we were talking I happen to say "I don't want to be stupid about it" and she corrected me and said "I don't want to be foolish about it, not stupid." That small statement brought me the reminder I needed about how just changing one word in a sentence can make all the difference in my thinking. 

Anyway...

Can't say my confused state is any better today but I've decided to "smile anyway." Resistance gives me nothing but my confusion plus a side order of misery. Not going there today! I will stay in the present moment and accept "what is." I will believe "this too shall pass" and embrace the day. My hope is that my smile will uplift someone else's day and that will uplift mine.

Confused...

I'm going to sleep tonight hoping for clarity. I feel very confused about what I need to do with my meal planning business. I wish I had that go to, pick up the phone and chat with person, to help flush out ideas and sort all the jumbled thoughts in my head right now. So I will try and stay present, and accept life on life's terms. I'm confused and that's okay. Tomorrow is a new day!

Duck suit...

"Sometimes you have to work hard at seeing the value you offer. You have to unzip your duck suit, that waterproof layer that insulates you from allowing in praise and recognition. Let it in, baby, or you won't ever let your powerhouse self out. The people who admire you have been given this special task in life to help you see yourself."

words from ~ Inspired & Unstoppable

This is my challenge... Letting the world see me! I've been zipped up and insulated along time. Where I was in my life, it was my protection, but I don't need that any more and life is calling me in a new direction... Will I listen and let it in, so that others can help me see myself as I truly am? I have to say, it is really really scary! Intellectually I know I am safe and all is well but jumping off with the faith that I will have wings to fly is another.

People...

I met with a very nice lady today who helped me get started with a program I'm interested in. She gave me two hours of her time and was so gracious. I have had numerous people help and who continue to provide time, knowledge and ideas in my life. I am grateful for these beautiful people. This is a BIG thank you... to you all! My life is made better because of your giving.
