WE ARE UD...

WAY TO GO FLYERS!!!

"Whole world could change in a minute..."

Those are some of the lyrics playing via iTunes on my system right now. It goes on to talk about a few nights you don't regret and dreams you could chase alone or make 'our' own. It got me thinking (as I am tired of writing another technical story about something that I really question anyone reads anymore), what are dreams you chase alone? Don't you always need the support of others, even if you don't admit it? And aren't regrets another way to learn...and you need people for that!

The SfI journey I took late last year, yes that was my personal journey, but it was supported by strong people who I knew where there to catch me if I feel or doubted.

"Haven't you people ever heard of, closing the g*d** door..."

Clearly we have moved onto a new song.

Snappish

Really - if you are having a bad day, snapping at someone else is never the way to go. They will get irritated and snap right back at you and since you are already pissy, you won't understand why. Or at least I will snap right back at you.

So, it's either don't snap at me or don't snap at anyone. I will leave it up to you to decide which one of these is true!

It is...

...what it is and that is all.

Does anyone actually believe that???

So what is up with Facebook? From what I have heard, people are sometimes on it constantly. And while I am ALL apart of catching up with old friends...do you really want to 'friend' someone who you haven't talked to IN YEARS? I am not writing on the wall to a person I have not talked to in 10+ years.

Now - to the friends I know? Sure, why not? But even then, be careful because you know your boss is out there too...

And to update in 2010 - Facebook is great for catching up with people from old times and new!!! Amazing what time does:)

It's a new month!

So maybe it was actually a new month almost a week ago, I am just now finding time to blog about it.

Today was Go Red for Women day to promote awareness of heart disease in women. I was proud to see a lot of men and women alike wearing red. And even if it reminds one woman to take care of her heart, then more power to all of us matching!

That brought up a thought, we guard our hearts for our emotional health (some of us more closely than others and sometimes not nearly enough - and with the wonderful "You are Single so let's remind you" Valentine's Day coming up more so), why don't we guard it that closely for our physical health?

COME ON LADIES!!!! Let's remember GO RED everyday!

Climbing down from my spontaneous soap box now.

I see the rain...but where is the ice?

So today, in this lovely metroplex I live in, they shut schools down early around (at least my kiddo's) due to 'impending ice'. It is now after 5 and I am still waiting on the ice that caused the school to shutter and delayed the opening tomorrow.

Aren't we always looking for a reason to protect ourselves against 'impending ice'? I think so. We make up reason we can't do this or that. Reasons why we need to be somewhere at some time. Reasons we can't see that person, or talk to this person. Why do we do that? I am going to try something, I am going to try to not protect myself against the 'impending ice' and live life for not what might happen, but for what it is. Let the walls down, have fun with Life. A wide open chance at new challenges, ups and downs.

Let's see how that works for a while.

It's Friday!

Remember when you were a kid in school and Friday was the best day of the week because it meant no school for two whole days??? Now, as an adult, we look forward to no work for two whole days and yet...are the weekends as relaxing as they were when we were kids?

I am the first to admit that the weekends are less relaxing in our house due to the many activities the kiddo has...and the wonderful friends we have, and the fact that I love to spend time with them. Frankly, they sometimes stress me out. That being said, why is it, that even at my somewhat older age, Friday nights still seem daunting and if I want to just head home after whatever practice we have and sleep, I feel like I am doing something wrong?

Tonight is a prime example - I am in the mood to crash. I have had a rough couple weeks at work, busy (yet wonderful) time at home and woke up with a wicked fever at 5am yesterday - which didn't stop me from drugging up with aspirin and heading into the office. Emotionally I am pretty sure I am this close to a breakdown (not the commit me kind of breakdown, the cry in the pillow or sitting on the stairs for no apparent reason breakdown and seriously, what good does that do?!?). YET, I feel like it is Friday night and if I go to bed right after I put the kiddo down, I am the biggest loser on the planet.

I think it is time to rise above that feeling; so tonight, for all you not yet old but no so much young adults out there, I am going to say it is fine, nay, wonderful that we are a point in our lives where if we want to go to bed at 9, we are totally allowed to and no one or nothing can make us feel badly about that.

GOOD NIGHT (or at least it will be after I take this Tylenol PM)
:-)
