find something to be thankful for everyday

or you can call me, “well-nourished”
:P

The smell of G’s cologne
Ha-ha life’s ridiculously funny
The memory that keeps calling me to be alive right now!

Baby is on her way.. Just 2.5 months

I was able to rescue a tiny field mouse from the clutches of my cats jaws & claws last night. They must just have found him & began “playing” with him as I opened the door to let them in. I scooped him up in my garden gloves. He had no real intention of letting go so he just hopped from hand to hand every time I tried to grab him.

It’s really kind of cool to see the pink hands with fingers so human like and his little nose twitching. After 15 mins I released him back into the woody area under leaves. I kept reminding myself of the experience all day & it felt good to save a life, even it was only that of a mouse.

getting sleep, I couldn’t sleep at all Saturday night.
Whew…

Rolling up my sleeves & forcing myself to get things in order
maybe I need the anger & frustration to be my fuel
since complacency isn’t getting me anywhere

i need to channel warrior fierceness

making it through work part of the day
but also feeling taken advantage of
something is going to have to change
and I’m going to have to be the catalyst

co-workers who laughed “with” me instead of at me
making the stupid comments of the previous night
seem humorous and not hurtful

letting go of silly words

thanksgiving leftovers for dinner

Happy Thanksgiving

I have so much to be thankful for
and yet I feel slightly guilty-
sitting down to dinner with family &
friends can, at times, try my patience

but instead of seeing the difficulty
I will try and focus on the bountiful
blessings of the day
and take the higher road if my ego gets bruised

I will try & really focus on other people
& not how I might feel in a situation
that brings up certain feelings I’ve
been feeling for a while when it comes
to particular relationships

perhaps I can just let it go
and embrace the day as new & fresh

at work inspiring me to get my own things in order for my future move

a much needed massage from my friend & co-worker
