WOW Friday has rolled around again so fast and I am looking forward to the weekend!

But before that begins I want to take a few minutes to be thankful.......

I am thankful for having a wonderful and caring family who love me just the way I am
I am thankful for remembering the love of my parents who have passed away - I miss them every day
I am thankful for  the opportunities I am currently experiencing
I am thankful for the clarity of thoughts and the problem solving I am doing.
I am thankful for the happy times!

 

Time...........

Inspired by something I had recently read but can't remember where or what - I often wonder .......

 

If I had a year to live what would I do???

 

Would I reconnect with old friends, right my wrongs, go on a misson of spiritual enligtenment????

 

or would I................

 

 

Laugh more

Worry less

Spend quality time with my husband

Spend one on one quality time with my children

Tell them all how much I love them

Encourage them to follow there dreams

Accept the unknown

Don't worry about the what ifs

Relax

Accept people as they are

Tell it like it is and be true to my feelings

Spend time creating wonderful family memories

Capture these memories in my scrapbook albums

Create more

Keep only what I truly love and cherish.

Surrond myself with positive people who love me for me, who accept me as I am and don't want to change me.

 

 

Why wait for a year to live to have the life I deserve all the time!

The above is what I need to be stirving for each and every

day that I am alive so I can be

 

TRUE TO MYSELF

LOVE MYSELF

BE ME!





So True!!!!

Life and ME..........................

A Quirky Girl Creation

I have been a bit awol lately as I am going through a bad patch at the moment.

 

I am feeling lost and alone.

 

It is hard to explain but I  feel I need to try and get it out so I can start making some sense of it all.

 

I feel anxious all the time, on edge and alone.  I am trying to find where I fit in with all that I do.

 

An example is:

I belong to the local squash club and believe I have a few friends there - but when I try and organise a game with people no one seems available - but when i stalk look at the booking page I see that they are playing with someone else - but didn't mention that to me as in "oh sorry I already have a booking with so and so".

I am frustrated and confused with it - am I not a likeable person? What is wrong with me? Why don't they want to spend time with me?

All these things run thru my head and I just seem to work my self into a state.

Hubby doesn't get it! so I can't talk to him.

 

ARGH.............................

That is just one case - there are others but now I feel like I am complaining!

I think I need to talk to someone to get this all sorted out in my head!

 

I am also analysing everything people say when it annoys me and why is it annoying me

The mind is racing!

 

I don't think the hormones are helping matters either - so I am off to the Health Shop to have a chat to them.

 

I need to get back to appreciating all the little things that are happening in my life that do bring a smile and sense of accomplishment to me and then maybe things will start seeming brighter!

 

I guess I will have to follow the old mantra:

 

Fake it till you make it!!!!
