Status Quo

Ill keep this short and sweet so I dont bore you too much. Im sure Ill have lots to write about next week.

Though its only Wednesday, this (half) week has been entirely draining. Unfortunate medical news, working at the great kohls and just life in general.

I got quite the response out of my post titled There will be no looking back, I'm impressed...

If you think I'm talking about you, I probably am. If im not but you think im might be, you're feeling guilty cause it hits home.

Never a dull moment in this life. There is always something going on.

Expect more, tolerate less. What do you really have to lose?

To keep myself from feeling exposed and vulnerable, I'd gotten very good at using the phrase "that's okay" when it was really, really not okay. There were so many times I didn't get angry when I should have, for fear of coming off as too emotional or unhinged. Well. you know what? Unhinge this! If the situation calls for it, and the difference between sucking it up and having a bit of a blowup could be months of festering in a foul mood.

I'm having a hard time with… myself. And understanding why it takes me so long to warm up to some people but others I have no problems with. I think at times im too judgmental.

Love is enough. For anything and everything. Love is the ultimate healer. However, refusing to love is emotional suicide.

Accidents happen. But when you choose the behavoir, you choose the consequence.

Less is more. Cha cha cha. Charmin.

I heard something the other day. You have one mouth and two ears. Try to listen twice as much as you talk. Good idea. Ill bring my listening ears.

You never really know till you're there. Love it. It applies to everything I think.

Wow this blog is filled with a bunch of random shit.

"It's hard to accept what you don't understand, and it's even harder to launch when you don't know how to land, And it hurts when it burns, even though you can't change a thing, all you can do is soften the blow, but you can't stop the sting. "

I've learned that, no matter what happens, how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.
I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he or she handles four things:
a rainy day, the elderly, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.
I've learned that, regardless of our relationship with our parents, we'll miss them when they're gone from our lives.
I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as "making a life."
I've learned that life sometimes gives us a second chance.
I've learned that we shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands. We need to be able to throw something back.
I've learned that if we pursue happiness, it will elude us. But, if we focus on our family, our friends, the needs of others, our work and doing the very best we can, happiness will find us.
I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.
I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.
I've learned that every day, we should reach out and touch someone. People love that human touch -- holding hands, a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.

I heart cards. Not playing cards. Greeting cards. I love giving them, sending them to far away friends, to here in town friends too. I love getting them in the mail or in person. I love buying them. Lots of them. Planning ahead for near future events. I love finding a card that reminds me of someone and making their day. I love thanking people with cards, for simple things. I love friendship cards and I love love cards. Sometimes when you want to say something but you cant find the words, buy a card. Garenteed you will find one that says it all. I love giving a happy card when someone is having a bad day. Or finding a wedding card that says im so SO happy you found true love. I could lose myself in the card aisle, easily. Target has good cards. The Shiners car wash has good cards too.

My new favorite fruit (aside from raspberries) is pineapple. And I just wanted to let you know that it is delicious and everyone should eat pineapple every day.

Well im off. Heading to arizona for the long long weekend.

Erica lynn, I love you. I'm so happy I have you in my life.
