As the weekend approaches warmer weather is on the horizon— this is a good thing as life continues to throw curve balls at us from time to time. MINDSET gotta have the “glass is half full” outlook. It’s that time of year where the school year is rolling into the last Trimester. Case studies are rolling in and out– there is no end in sight.

The weather plays a big part in my mindset, the sunshine is a key part to what drives my mood and coping skills as it does for most Americans. My child is turning 9 tomorrow and I look forward to celebrating with her and what a day it will be …..stay tuned for that reflection tomorrow ! Have a Blessed day everyone………..

UGHHHH… not the way I wanted to start my Spring season with a damn cold. Who has time to be sick? Not I. Off to the store to buy Vitimin C and Puffs with Lotion. This will not get me down as I have lots to get done today, starting wtih Mass to welcome Lent. Today is Ash Wednesday. It’s very rare that I am able to take the day off and enjoy the season.

As I reflect on what is to come in the month of March and April I am excited to welcome the challenge that this month brings with spending more time in prayer. The first challange today was to fast. Typically this is not that difficult for me as long as I stay busy. But today my body keeps reminding me how hungrey I am. – LOL. Tomorrow is a new day. I hope the sunshine keeps coming!

Today I leaned on my faith and put God in the drivers seat as my MIL had open heart surgery. She is older in age and a bit fraile. There have been times in my life when God has tested me and put me through some very rough waters. I was raised in a strong family of Faith, and this has shaped my way of living as I always turn to God with every task that weighs on my heart. Surgery went well today- another prayer answered. Thank you Lord.

Prayers are not always answerd, but today mine was. . TRUST….. that is what I had to do today….

Sundays are not as exciting a they were when we were kids- The chores that must get done are never ending…the planning for what needs t oget done in the week ahead can be very overwhelming– not to mention getting things organized for what the kids need on top of it all can be just to much to handle on a simple Sunday.

As I sit today on this Sunday morning looking out my picture window thinking of all the things I must get done today and the things I am already talking myself out of doing I wonder who else feels this way. I know my friends all feel this same Blah but across the world, does anyone have a diferant outlook to a Sunday. I would like to change my thought process all together about Sundays but it seems like this is how it has been since I can remenber. Well gotta start the task list…….

I never grew up with a dog but somehow I was convinced that a Dog was the best pet to have when you have children. Many circumstances came my way after marriage and the moment we decided it was time to start thinking about getting a dog– Rollie was part of the family.

I can not dismiss the fact that Rollie was the BEST choice we made in adding a member to the family but I had no idea what I was in for. (Not to mention I am a bit of a germ freak.) Training a puppy in itself is something you never forget- The sleepless nights with potty breaks, cleaning out a cage daily when you come home from work, One mess after the other, SURPRISES at times when you walk in the door to the mischif they get into, saying goodby to items you love because they have been eaten or sucked on, the drull, the sneezes, the smell that comes out of their butt, OH YIKES>>>>> Getting a dog does a number to your aging process. But today…. today I love the dog.

After a long week of the same old routine, something can come up unexpected and change everything. That is the kind of week/experience I had. It’s the little things that can throw a person off — A phone call, a word, a look from someone.

Emotions can be tricky , they are normal to have but some are hard to deal with. Always second guessing, did I do the right thing? Maybe I should? If only ? BLAHHHHHH ….as my mom always said ” tomorrow is a new day, don’t worry about it”

Thanks for joining me!
