Stressful week

This week has not been well for me, I can only imagine what it's been like for the rest of the family. I had such a wonderful valentine's day with my husband...but it was abruptly ended when news of my sorta sister in law (it's complicated) was found dead. She was only in her 20's and had young children. I don't even know how to grasp hold of the situation. And as I am greiving the loss I hear news that my beloved uncle has been diagnosed with cancer. So yea my world is changing, but I can't even begin to imagine what this week has been like for the ones closer. The mothers, the spouses, the children.... why is this world such a harsh place at times. I have been so caught up in my own troubles that I forgot that there's a whole world out there hurting too. It's like "Oh poor me I'm outta work" just seems so trivial right now. With all this going on, I feel pushed into the reality that yea we don't live forever. Which brings me to that not so nice place of the all unevitable and unavoidable fact that one day my own father, my own mother, my own ________ will leave this world. And in that comes the deepest heartache I could ever know. So on this day let us all hug our mothers and fathers, our husbands and wives, our children and grandchildren and let them know that without a doubt they are loved and will be forever in our hearts no matter where this life leads. Today and everday give an extra 'I love you' so you are never left wishing you could have said it. My thoughts and prayers go out to my family and to yours. May we all find some peace in the passing.

Better Day

Well feeling much more myself now, only took 2 days lol. So how's everyone else doing? I saw that the lottery is getting quite the hefty jackpot. Now I don't usually play, but I might have to. I already know exactly what I'd do if I won. One thing for sure is buy myself a home and buy homes for some family. But something I think would be really great to do with that kind of money is to put an article in the paper asking people to nominate friends, family, or even strangers that have fallen on hard times and need help. I would do it just for the county I live in to begin with. I'd take a million dollars and help out the people that were nominated that needed it most. It could be something as simple as paying off a student loan or buying a used car to the more complex stuff like paying off home loans or paying for someone to go to college. Just a little something to help people out and what better time then now. Then I would do the same thing for the county my hometown is...

How the world can change one person at a time

I decided yesterday after a long day of work that I didn't show the people I worked with how much I really appreciated them. So after a little thought I tapped on the office door of our HR person. I poked my head in and just told her how much I liked some flyers she had printed. The smile and the thank you I received told me she was glad to know her efforts weren't unnoticed. I walk away feeling pretty good. A trip to the grocery store led me to donate all the dollars I had on me to the empty stocking fund and then for a third "good deed" for the day....I offered a ride to a woman who had quite a few groceries and was riding a bike. She said it never fails someone offers a ride when I don't need one but when i do no one is to be found. I decided to make sure from now on to watch for her to make sure she did get a ride when she needed it. Are these giant leaps and bounds into saving the world? No, but they are small deeds that show others they aren't invisible ...

A decent saturday

All in all I've had a really nice day today. It was really great to get to spend the whole day with my hubby and enjoy each others company. I don't think I've laughed so much with him in awhile. It'a a good idea to take the time to reconnect and fuel that flame from the spark that brought two loners together. It's wonderful to have someone who is a compliment to your own personality. He keeps me level headed when I need it be because I spend alot of time in the clouds lol. And where sometimes I over think stuff searching for an answer he can step in look at the surface and give a simple applicable solution. Make it a point today and everyday to appreciate the one that loves you... the one that can say you are beautiful even when you are sick as a dog and feel like poo (i know he's lying but makes me feel better lol); the one who has been the reciever of your bad attitude when you have had a bad day; the one who, when the world is falling in around you, just hold...
