Just an average day in the hood...
Life can be such a challenge, and other days it seems to go off without a hitch. Why is that? Are there days that have better karma than others? Is it MY karma?
I try to be in a sunny disposition 99.9% of the time, I really do. But even when it's bright and sunny in my world, someone always manages to rain on my parade. Must be their karma and not mine! ~L~
Today was good day though, seriously. I kicked it hard on some work projects that I've been pondering on (notice I didn't say "procrastinating"). I had the stereo-radio turned up a little and the songs floating through the airwaves were jammin! I couldn't have picked the play list better. Anyone who knows me, knows that my taste in music is eclectic, to say the least. Much to my heart's delight, they played U2's "Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For", Eagles, "Hotel California," Blondie's "Heart of Glass," Bon Jovi's "Raise Your Hands", Stevie Ray Vaughan's "Pride and Joy," Ted Nugent's "Stranglehold", right in to Van Morrison's "Brown Eyed Girl," Roxette's "The Look", and Lenny Kravitz' "Bring It On". Good tunes! It was hard to keep from jumping up and start to dance!
I want to give a shout out to two of my nieces - Lisa Marie and Wendi Julaine.
Lisa emailed me today to say that she had read my blogs over lunch and was particularly touched by the blog entries of my parents. I love talking about my parents and have many, many stories that I can relate. They would be touching and memorable to family members, but perhaps not so much to the average blog stalker. However, I am going to make it a point to relay one or two anecdotes of my parents from time to time. In doing so, perhaps you will all get a better understanding of my wicked sense of humor and from whom I inherited it.
My beautiful niece, Wendi, is leaving in a couple of weeks for greener pastures called Washington state. She had originally intended to leave last spring, but due to the flooding and condition of her parents home, decided to postpone her departure. I'm excited for her! She's a bright, intelligent, hard working young woman. I know that she'll do well. As I told her recently in an email, I will miss her greatly. I didn't see her all that often, but it was just the idea that she was around and I could see her that comforted me. I do not have children of my own, but if my heart is aching with the thought of her moving away, I can't imagine what her parents are feeling. So Wendi girl, know that you are loved beyond words.
I took the night off from the gym. (Sorry Levi!) I came home early and made stuffed peppers for supper and started loading a new virus program on to my computer - which is taking forever. (HS Internet can NOT get here fast enough)! I'm on a pretty good streak with working out and I don't want to lose any momentum, but every once in a while the body needs a break! I plan on hitting the gym hard this weekend though.
The miracle is not to fly in the air, or to walk on the water, but to walk on the earth. ~Chinese Proverb
