Z is for Zzzzzz

Today was day one of two days of moving for us. I loaded the SUV and our other car before 8 a.m. Then we stood in the hot sun with the movers. It was 80 degrees today! Therefore, I am exhausted. Actually we both are.

We have to meet the movers at the storage unit in the morning for day two. Then we will have to unpack over the next few days. I didn't mention that come Monday we'll be back at work. So, yeah we are tired.

What we are also is beyond grateful that God has blessed us. He blesses us daily but this is BIG and to some degree overwhelming because it's so big. Crazy thing is that I know there's more to come.

In the midst of our gratefulness I will be catching some Zzzzzz. Yup, I can't wait...

I enjoyed this challenge and excited that I made it through it. Great people stopped by my blog and now follow it. Without the challenge I am not sure if that would've happened. And now I say, "goodnight!" Thanks!!

Y is for Yesterday...

Sometimes we forget the lessons we've learned along this journey while focusing only on the pain that has been caused. Each step of the way we connect with certain people and go through experiences that are there to help us grow. YESTERDAY is what fuels our tomorrows.  It is imperative that we don't hold onto the pain of yesterday but look at the positives that came out of that moment.

I take each of my yesterdays, process them, decipher what was learned (whether good or bad) and do my best to use them for my personal growth. You can hold onto yesterday IF it benefits you. If it doesn't let it go...

BTW- Today and tomorrow are both moving days. We went through a lot of yesterdays to get to this moment... YEAH!

X is for X-CELLENT!

Yes I said, X-Cellent! I could only come up with x-ray and didn't want to write about that or xylophone. Most of my posts have been so serious so since today is my Friday I decided to write something a little lighter. What a better way than playing with words?

I hope that everyone has been having an X-cellent week and close it out with a bang. Mine has been quite challenging but I made it through it. I can't believe we are at the end of the challenge, and that too is
X-cellent. I have more followers than had before I started and have followed people I might not have  found during my blog search. I am glad I joined the challenge...

So... have an X-cellent day and don't let anyone steal your thunder. Ever.

BTW-tomorrow morning is moving day! We should be moved in completely by Saturday night. [insert excessive celebration here!]

W is for WARM...

No matter where you are in your life, it is important to have someone that keeps you warm. That one special person who can inspire you with their eyes, and hug you with their words, is a warm person. With snow on the ground and a cold wind to match, being warm is an added plus to the beginning or end of your day...


Warm and welcoming will do over cold and complicated. Pay attention to the signs, remember your feelings count, and find that special someone that will keep you WARM... You guessed it, I did...

V is for VACATION...

I need a VACATION but not in the normal sense. I need a vacation from selfish and jealous people. I have recently met a group of people at a new "place" who I realize are very catty and juvenile. I didn't play well in the sandbox when I was young and am having a difficult time now trying to play in it. I do not understand why you can't be friends with more than one person in a group. I thought that ended once you successfully moved through Erikson's stages of development. I mean, doesn't this end by high school graduation at least? 


I am annoyed because all of them are older than me. We are all over forty. In the words of Rodney King, "Can't we all just get along?" I am not a jealous person at all because if you are blessed one way, God blesses me another. I focus on my desires, dreams and goals, and the safety and health of my family. I don't care what others have or don't have. I am not impressed by things either. I actually had someone imply that I shouldn't be friends with someone else. Yup, more than once. Again, she is older than me. 


I didn't sit down to Vent but I needed to get it out. Now I can let it go. Until something else happens. LOL! I will never understand why people can't get through the day without trying to mess up someone's day. Mine wasn't messed up but I was taken aback by the behavior. Well, tomorrow I will sit in the corner of the sandbox away from everyone. Grow up people! 


I still want a vacation...

(I didn't confirm the stages were Erikson's but you get the idea. It's been a long time since I've been in a psych. class and I didn't feel like searching on google.)
