remember that it is all temporary

or would you rather spend your time and life doing things that make you and those you love happy and smiling?

A new friend of mine here in the wilderness reminds me of how I used to be with grace under pressure. Her business has taken a downturn like all of our businesses and yet she maintains a spirit of optimism that I strive to emulate.

She does nice things for her employees…like appreciation dinners and lunches. She is celebrating the holidays with friends and family.

She is not letting the day to day stress take it’s toll to the point of paralysis where I let it go.

Since I have a choice I am not spending anymore time with misery. :)

I really want to go to Texas for Thanksgiving and see my children.

Life is far too short to be lonely and away from home.

to wake up in the morning with regrets, so love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don’t, and believe
that everything happens for a reason.

If you get a chance, take it.

If it changes your life, let it.

Nobody said life would be easy, they
just promised it would be worth it.

‘Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. And enjoy your life.’

I received this in my e-mail this morning and wanted to share it with you.”

I have a new affordable internet advertising venture for Montana businesses that will provide me immediate cash flow. I met with the publisher last weekend and see that this is an exciting project!

I have also decided to renew my real estate license and get on with what I do best…helping people get into their homes. I have been out of that game long enough!

Feeling much better now that I have a definite direction.

that is bouncing through the wilderness came to visit me last night.

Been sleeping most of the day and still feel really bad.

the Universe has opened up and a multitude of opportunity has fallen from the skies.

People are backing me in all 3 of my business ideas in ways I had no idea would happen. I even got a P/T work at home job that I can do on my own hours over the Internet.

Guess if I throw enough mud on the wall something will stick. :)

out of town for the first time in ages. Saw some areas of Montana I hadn’t seen in many,many years. Had a business meeting for a new venture. Did some clothes shopping at one of my favorite department stores that we do not have in the wilderness. Spent time with a wonderful friend who has been a huge blessing in my life.

I needed that break more than anyone could realize. :)

and nothing has really changed for me…that is a scary thought! Maybe it was a time of incubation. This morning I noticed the time passing more slowly than usual. My thoughts are clearer and my soul is peaceful.

It could be the quietness of the snowstorm or maybe I am on the brink of new adventures. Time will tell. :)

goals working with children to be more “realistic” my zest for life totally disappeared! Then I realized I have been listening to everyone else tell me who I am instead of my own heart and God whispering in my ear to go for my dreams.

As soon as I added them back into my life list my heart started feeling lighter, a smile crept tentatively across my face and the feeling of anticipation is aroused.

I feel alive again. :)

There was a time in my life where cooking from scratch was ecomomical and quite tasty…

Now I realize I can buy prepared food for me that takes less time and much less waste and is almost as good as i can cook…if I need to I can add spices…

for now that is ok…maybe in the future I’ll have a reason to get in the kitchen again and stir up some good home cookin.

But for now my time is free to do other things. :)
