Random Thoughts

6/17/2011: Is IT really that important?
How many times do we focus on the wrong thing? Take a deep breath, light a candle, look at nature - there are MUCH more important things in the world than whatever seems negative in my world today.

6/18/2011: Don't poke yourself in the eye with a stick.
If you poke yourself in the eye with a stick, it will hurt. How do I know? I poked myself in the eye with a stick - it hurt!

6/19/2011: Some people are assholes. But I dont have to become an ass because of them. I try to fall back on this amazing thought: "Nobody can make you feel inferior without your permission. -Eleanor Roosevelt-
Last night someone said something hurtful to me and it was weird and out of the blue. It is someone I do not know that well and I was like, crap - what's up with this? I prayed, talked to my hubby to confirm my thinking (yes, this guy is an asshole) and then decided that it doesn't matter; he can not dictate how I feel about me unless I let him! Peace!

6/20/2011: Some days are just emotional. Its ok - this too shall pass.

6/21/2011 Slow traffic is not always bad; sometimes it allows you an hour to talk to family.

6/24/2011 REALLY?

6/25/2011 I love my niece Ashley SO much!

6/27/2011: Am I really that much of an ass? I struggle with drive and determination - I have it and just forget others do not or that what drives them is not what drives me. I just think so much can be done so much better but people accept mediocrity. Is it fear that drives me crazy that people are ok with what has always been? Fear of dealing with it at work because I am accountable for their actions [or lack thereof] as well as mine? I need to enhance my calm John Spartan ....

6/30/2011 My niece is going to have a baby! Baby Austin will be here tomorrow or Saturday! I can not wait to meet him! I am sending prayers and positive energy to Ashley, Shaun and Austin!

7/2/2011 I can’t put into words what I felt when I saw Austin the first time. Immediate tears and amazement! T0 think this new little life came from my precious niece and the man she loves. He is an amazing baby – I counted toes and fingers – all there! Eight pounds and 11 ounces; 19 and ˝ inches! He is beautiful! I was SO scared when I heard Ashley had to have a C-section; it’s weird when I look at her I still see her as two years old – my first Christmas sober and her in her purple ruffly dress with me that day (her mommy was sick and she was my baby girl for a day).

I love her so much and found myself just wanting to hold her and comfort her; but she is a grown woman. I am amazed at how she and Shaun really came through and did what they had to do for the safety of their baby that they hadn’t even met. Shaun was so awesome with her and Austin.

Words are so limiting … But I do know there are miracles and life and birth is just one of them!

7/4/2011 Calamity and serenity: Austin is in the NICU. He has fluid in his lungs BUT it is clearing. I am SO worried for Ashley and Shaun because what they are going through has to be AWFUL. Their little baby is there and they have to feel so powerless. I feel powerless but also calm. I know that everything happens for a reason and that God is with us all. Thank you God for life ………

7/6/2011 Austin comes home today!! Thank you!!

7/7/2011 Had an awesome visit with Ash and Austin today. Thank you God!! Babies are so precious and so are their mommies!

7/8/2011 WWCRD What Would Chef Ramsey Do?

7/11/2011 Had a great day! Monday back to work after vacation and it was ok!!

7/18/2011 DRAMA!! but at least its not my drama!

7/19/2011 Need a break to get some perspecttive but not sure how; when its family and you love them but don't like how they live and there are other consequences.

7/21/2011 Happy Birthday to my husband, Chris!

7/23/2011 Things are Random ONLY because we don't notice. NOTHING is RANDOM

9/7/2011 Wow - it has been over a month since I wrote! Been busy out living - just got back from a Motorcycle Ride to Hot Springs and back.
It is great to have friends that go at the same pace ..... and it is great to have friends that do not go at the same pace and no one gets bothered by it!!!
I have lost "friends" because they expected everyone to be the same - wouldn't that be boring?
