DRAMA; These days I have no time for it!!! Don't get me wrong, threre are troubles in peoples lives that is truely trouble and needs fixing and compassion, and I love it that God has shown me how to be a compassionate ear in those cases.... But really some people are ALWAYS in a mess, drama with a capital DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD...... Thers no time in my world for that anymore, nor the people who are constantly in it... I know that sounds rough coming from me... But I just don't have the time. At my age, my friends are starting to battle sickness, and taking care of aging parents, and yes even starting to die.... That is where I want my Ear to be these days.
MONEY; Or should I say lack of it:) Most all of you know how scary last year was for us, but looking back, I'm thankful for the lesson. Through it I've learned to REALLY enjoy the simple life, staying home and counting my BLESSINGS day by day... So now that we have the money to pay bills and life isn't as scary as it was a year ago, we still can't afford much. Now I know a 5 dollar movie with my cousin is a treat. We have met friends in town for wing night and the cost is 15 bucks for Jeff and I both, and that includes a 5 dollar tip:) I love it that we have found peace right here in our own backyard.. Jeff loves to be HOME, playing on the computer and watching Matt Dillon on TV. We enjoyed SKYPING last night from my cousins and Aunt in Cali...Can you believe we can see them right there in their living room??? That is AWESOMENESS!!!! I am finding I LOVE cooking again. and the simple pleasure of cleaning the horse stalls makes me smile. I love that I gave myself permission to stay in bed this morning till 10:00 watching the cooking channel, and then wasted time here BLOGGING (or is that a waste of time? I'm thinking NOT:) So if I don't get to Hawaii this year OR EVER, I am totally at peace with that...:)
So when was it that I got all this peaceful wisdom????? Well I'm not sure... I know it didn't come easy for me. You see I'm a doer, always busy at something, always on the run..... But the last year forced me, not only because of money, but also some pretty extreme pain in my body, to SLOW down, take it easy, help the people God puts on my heart via the telephone or FB. I've found my body isn't as sore when I don't stress it, AND the people in my life are the ones I talk to on a constant basis, who encourage me, and I encourage them. For the first time, in a long time, Life is going as it should.... I'm excited about the future.... I'm thinking I may even want to plant a garden, and give myself the TIME to take care of it... AND have lots of friends over to help me eat the fruits of my labor!!!! So if ya want to come visit, COME ON OVER, the coffee pot is always on:)
SOOOO that said, do yourself a favor and find what makes you tic, and how you are most happy... But please remember, nobody is ever truly happy in a self absorbed world of ME.... So find you, but remember to find a way to help those around you also... Be BLESSED my friends and go make it a great day!!!!!!
