a great day!!! Came down to the kitchen…turned the ipod onto shuffle…and blasted what ever came out…Bo Cephus! (hank Williams Jr) danced around the kitchen to some Bowie…made coffee and Im ready for this amazing day! I know Im going out tonight…he suggested a movie….sorry that sounds boring…Im hoping he asks me for some input…I want to be active and do something outdoors…or indoors as long as its active…then have some dinner. No movies…I hate going to the movies…I will get my way on this..because I think men just use that because they are afraid to be creative. I am a carpe diem junkie need to seize the day not watch Ironman! Unless he surprises me and suggests some documentary or foreign movie…then I will oblige because he was unique. 4 days ago

for the past month or so I have seen this woman Id say she is about 70yrs old…not quite sure but If I had to guess that would be it. I see her early in the morning on the subway…I always admire her she has long blond hair its beautifully curled reminiscne of old hollywood icons. You can tell she has not had any work done on her face…she has beautiful character and a smile in her eyes. I wanted so many times to tell her she was just beautiful. Yesterday I finally worked up the courage…and approached her sat beside her and touched her sleeve…and excused myself and explained she looked beautiful. Her responce was fantastic…she was so happy to hear this, she said it made it worth getting ready! She had a beautiful european accent possible danish…she just had that sparkle. I truly looked at her and hoped that as I age I can age just like that. It made me scared at first to have the nerve to approach and say this to a stranger…but I felt it was necessary. I hope someday that same will be said to me. Now what do I do on monday???? 2 months ago

this shouldnt be considered seizing the day…but actually it is. There is so little time in my schedule with kids and work that when she invited me in for tea at first I said no. Then seeing as the kids were still playing I gave in…I always enjoy her conversation and sense of humour so I need to remember to do this more often, we made new plans for spring break to do together with the kids. 3 months ago

tried the tea “Joy” blend for a change…didnt feel like coffee at the hockey game. It was okaybut probably wouldnt get again…will stick with the green or jasmine teas. 5 months ago

with my son Frieda Kahlo and Diego Riveira. I tend to like her work more than his, my son got a kick out of Kahlo and her self portaits many look the same with just a different background. So we saw something new. Went out for lunch and went to chinese bakery where we tried taro and bubble tea, bought some macha and other interesting teas at Davids and then hung out at the music store testing out the intruments. Lots of firsts! 5 months ago

tonight was me seizing the day. Not everyones idea of seizing the day Im sure…but seizing the moment with my child! He asked..i wanted to say no…Id rather just be angry at my ex for not being with him like he was supposed to. I felt badly for thinking that and said yes, come on lets go play some ping pong. Again one of the greatest things aboout my son is his ability to take my mind off of the stupid things that are bothering me. We played, we dont really keep score we are not good enough…but this gives us the opportunity to laugh at each other as anything goes in our ping pong games – off the roof, floor, windows, picture frames, if its rolling on the table… I will talk to him in an old lady voice calling him sonny…and he smacks the ball at me when I turn around to pick one up. Best Part of my day – glad I seized the moment and glad it was with him. (wonder If someday he will ever read this and know how great he is). 6 months ago

a window opens up…or another one is opening or the end off one thing is just the beginning of something new…sometimes we wait for that window, door, person or opportunity, sometimes there it is right before you. Yesterday I wrote about finding out the man I was starting to fall for was keeping something from me…something really big and it was a warning sign for what I could possibly be in for in the future…no matter how much my hear wanted to be with him there. `So I also went on to say how God or the Universe will conspire for good in your life..you just have to beleive and vibe out this as truth that we learn from any struggle more than from the good times. So again..when you least expect it…someone new comes along…i said yesterday it can happen just like magic…and now I can put my money where my mouth is. Tonight on the way home on the train…hard day trying to forget Mr.T.(for trouble) and just kind of that shell shock you feel when you are thrown for a loop and making yourself fall out of love….when Im walking along…I think I may have saw him first..i thought in my head hmmm yummy…but never gave it another thought. Then as Im walking along someone beside me asked me “why are you in such a rush?” I was walking fast (part of what we do in the rat race) I replied…”he laughed” He continued to walk with me towards the parking lot across the street asking me if I was around this weekend…we both work downtown…financial industry…okay…then he asked me to go out for coffee sometime. And there it was…something new, tall, dark, attractive, successful, and from somewhere totally different than me…but living close by. I said sure, we exchanged emails. And as I turned around after I said good bye I noticed he was walking away to the other parking lot in the different direction. Kinda cool, on my worst day. 8 months ago

and It was one of the worst ones Ive ever done. But I did it, then running with sandbags, rope circuit, burpees, weighted squats, rowing, bikes, lunges….and there you go. Just Doing It! 13 months ago

it occurred to me through some of he conversations I was hearing that I was surrounded by people some in remission and some dying of cancer. Three of these souls had lung cancer and another pancreatic. It made me think of my past, my present and my future. What would I do? Who would be beside me? How brave these people are. Remember to always live life in the moment because it all passes way too fast to put it off. Love while you can, where you are with all your passion and heart we have nothing to lose – love is a currency – a wave – compassion is king and we need each other. 13 months ago
