My Birthday!!!

Yesterday marked the anniversary of the day that I was born. I got my first birthday message around 6:30am, and they continued throughout today, and I am still getting messages today. (Grateful!)

Being that God sent a storm so that I didn't have to go to work on my birthday, I spent the day reading, thinking, and then I got restless around 3 o'clock.

"To Thine Ownself True."

I ain't the kind of girl who can stay in the house for days! Nope, that's not me.....

So, I went to Wholefoods to eat raw kale, string beans, a whole lot of other vegetables, and I had a latte.

I sat in Wholefoods and ate and talked to a friend on the phone, and then I went to the mall.....

I tried on a few things but left with nothing, and I was ok with not buying anything.

When I returned home, I had cured my restlessness and was able to pack my lunch for today and read.

The Birthday messages continued and continued, and I was told that I was loved more times than I could count......(Blessed!)

Being in my 40's, YES, my 40's, damn it......lol, I have learned "To Thine Ownself, Be True!" William, Shakespeare

What an awesome day....

BE BLESSED my people!!!!!!!!!!!

A New Way of Thinking

Today is Monday, and I had a really great weekend. I got the chance to do some things that I really wanted to do, and I also got my usual amount of rest.

However, I was moving slowly this morning, and I had to ask myself if I was moving slowly, because that is what is expected on a Monday morning, or was I really tired?

The weekend is time to do things that we enjoy and to rejuvenate in order to get ready for the next week. So, why does EVERYONE say, "I'm so tired, it's Monday." Is it out of habit, or are we really tired?

After I thought about this and really assessed how I was feeling, I'm not more tired than I normally am, and as I matter of fact, I feel rather good!! So, I had to ask myself, "Why was I giving into this Monday IDEA of being tired, when I'm really not tired?"

So, today forward, let's try and change our mind sets about Monday and a whole lot of other stuff, and maybe we will see that many things aren't that bad after all.

I don't need to conform to the thoughts of the world IF what it says does not apply to me.

Ok, back to feeling good on this wonderful Monday morning..........

People, sit for a minute and analyze how you are really feeling today and everyday.
