Five For Friday

Here are Five Things I Like and Five Things I Don't Like. Just because.

Those Mini Goals.

I wrote a couple days ago about setting mini goals for myself and yet I never posted any.Yikes! Can you say procrastinator? Better late than never, here we go!

Wheeeee Mood Swing!

Ok so my blog is like a giant mood swing today. Yes, blogs have moods too!

My Heart Song

Every once in a while, a song comes along that really speaks to you.

Coping Skills

I might end up with a few entries today, I have a lot on my mind.

Today, I read a blog post from Attack of the Redneck Mommy titled Love Harder. I started following her just a couple days ago ever doing a Google search for "Funny Blogs". It just so happens that not only did I find a funny blog, I also found the blog of a mother who has lost a son. Love Harder struck a chord with me. In case you decide not to read (though I think you should just because it's a great post!) she basically writes about people asking her how she copes and how although the pain is not visible outwardly to everyone it does exist.

Challenging Myself...

One of the most difficult lessons in life, or at least in mine, is learning that you have the ability to pave the way towards your own happiness. You and you alone, are the only person who can make you happy. Happiness is not the result of a fantastic job, a great relationship, a rocking body or a dream house. It's easy to get caught up in thoughts of  "I'd be happy if I just had ___." But why? Why do we need to put our own happiness on hold until ___ comes along? What if our unhappiness is the one thing preventing that one good thing from happening. Let's be honest, unhappiness is unattractive. Bitterness is revolting. Anger is repulsive. Frowns are ugly. 

Facebook and Such

Some of you may have noticed that I am no longer active on Facebook. I have also disabled comments and the ability to post to my wall.

Vacation Recap

Friday July 15th

We got up extra early to start our trip. I had Robert drop me at Enterprise and he ventured on to the grocery store to buy snacks. With a little charming on my part, our car was upgraded from a Impala to a Cadillac. I met Robert back at the house, loaded up and hit the road. I was totally digging the heated, cooled, massaging seats.

My Sweet Boy

Maxwell James Spears - July 2009.

How? How has it been 11 months since I've seen his beautiful face? Heard his infectious laugh?

Uninspired...

Uninspired. Unmotivated. Call it what you like. I just haven't been able to put down words. I start, stop, erase and close the window. So least just skip a theme and just do an update of sorts.

I've been staying busy. I haven't made it to the gym as much as I would like, but I'm still going at least 3 days a week. My general life is physically more active than it used to be. I'm taking more time for the things I love. I read more. I play with Meghan more. I cook more. I go out more. I listen to music and just dance around the house more.
