Colds

Someone passed their cold onto to me this week, doesn’t make me happy. Went and got some medicine today. The doc says it isn’t too bad, and the drugs should clear it up. So just a word from mother, wash your hands and don’t be around folks who sneeze alot. As I recall, we have been around a few children this week that were sneezing and had runny noses, all that fun stuff. Yuck!!

Just take care of yourselves, take those vitamins and stay away from people. You won’t get sick.

Even though I am a little under the weather, I am keeping up with promise to myself that since I have had this little unscheduled vacation, we are heading up to the mountains to get in some skiing this weekend. Should be great, they have had lots of snow this week!!!! So I will check in with you all next week. Have a wonderful weekend!!! Stay well!!

It is a wonderful life!

Greetings!!

Being a mother and a woman you know I have alot to say, at least that is what they all say. I hope in the weeks ahead I will bring you some entertaining thoughts and ideas and maybe some insights, being of the advanced age that I am. At least I hope I will. I appreciate Jim inviting me to share my thoughts.

My life in recent years has been pretty much the same thing. I had been,until just recently, working for a law firm. That experience ended on the 18th of January. It had been a 5 year relationship that, until just recently, I thought would never end. A word to the wise – never think anything is never going to change. Out of the blue it does. I have had this experience of things ending before, but in the back of my mind I thought maybe this time it wouldn’t. But it did. As the last 2 weeks have passed by I have had many emotions flow through my heart and head. It is a process of mourning that I think alot of people go through. I was told it was just a job, which is true, but for over 5 years I had also thought of these folks as my friends and kind of an extended family. So for that emotional side of me, which you will come to know, it hurt and it was sad. But when it comes to the bottom line it is all just business. So there you have it.

As always, it is onward and upward for me. This is the perfect time for me to look at my options and figure out what it is I want to be when I grow up!! I think that is a never ending quest for each of us. I know I love life, even when you feel kind of down, it is great!! I love to be with family and friends, and the old saying still applies, “Eat, drink and be merry!”

You don’t know what tomorrow will bring, so enjoy each day as it comes and cherish the things around you that mean the most to you. Don’t let the things you want most in this life pass you by. I have a unique opportunity to look at and assess again what I may be looking for. Take a little bit of time today and think about your life, it is always good to recharge yourself every once in awhile. Keeps the blood flowing!

One of the best things about this little unscheduled time off is I hopefully will get to ski a little more the next few weeks!! Yeah!! I mean what is it all about, at least in the winter, skiing!!!!!

Take care and try to be good. I know that is still a tough one for me.

If you have any exciting job opportunities out there, let me know.

Have a great day!
