Lean On Me

I heard this song on the radio this morning and it brough a smile to my face and gave me a warm fuzzy feeling, kind of like a favorite blanket.  Enjoy.

Stupid Blogger!

Guys, I have tried to post to you:
Tenecia
Lisa
Nelli
No clue why, it keeps telling me to log out and log back in.  WT!!!!!
Maybe they will get it worked out soon, but I am reading.

What speaks to me today....

If you look to the very top right of the picture there is a little yellow house in the cliff side.  I am standing on that balcony looking out over the most magnificent view!  :)

Another from Kelli O's site.  LOVE LOVE this!

Better with every day, or else faking it till I make it!

Where I am at....

"The state of your life is nothing more than a reflection of your state of mind."  ~Dr. Wayne W Dyer

Working on changing the mind set.  Trying to do the things that make me happy.  Such as another furniture piece refinishing project.  I will try to post pics of this new one and the other one as soon as I finish.

Stress

This week has been particularly stressful for me.  I will not go into details as I do not believe in "putting it all out there" and that I always think others have it much worse than me and I should not even feel the way I do....... This morning I barely avoided a breakdown, I got a bit teary in my closet this morning when I could find NOTHING to wear.  (Why is it when the world feels like it is crashing down that we women can not find ANYTHING to wear???)  I am really saying that very tongue in cheek.  So while I had one foot on the banana peel slipping off into a full on pity party and my hands clutched tightly to the rod in my closet for support, it hit me as it always does that this I am feeling is but temporary and I should suck it up and be thankful for ALL I have.  This life is throwing its punches and will continue to, but as long as I can keep my eye on what is important it will all work itself out and make me a stronger person for it.
While I know all of you did your "I am thankful for" list a while back, I am just now getting to mine.  In the midst of telling myself to be strong and stop crying to pull it together this morning here are the reasons I continue...

God...I do not claim to be religious or even a christian at best, but I do believe in prayer and the one who has always been there for me when no one else has.  My father, friend, confidant, saviour forever.

My beautiful, healthy, smart, well rounded daughters that I grow more proud of every day.  They give me joy, love, laughter, and support.  They are growing up way to fast, but I enjoy watching them become the little ladies they are.

Their 1st Virgin Daiquiri.

My Harley.....my rock, comfort, support.  (enough said)

My lil puppy and kitty, Rambo and TK.  Cute, sweet, aggravating :) but always around to love on me when needed. 

Thanks guys for giving me an outlet to get it off my chest, for your encouragement, and all of your blogs that you never know how they reach out to me.

How do you guys feel about AdSense?  And have you or are you doing it?

Chicken, chicken and more chicken!

How we love our chicken as "fitness buffs"!  1001 Ways To Cook Your Chicken and Eat It Too Without Any Guilt, yep that is my next book.  :0)  Anyway, FYI, my chicken last night was simply divine (a play on my favorite HGTV designer, Ms. Candace).  Harley and Hannah loved it!  It is definitely one to do.

Now off to work I go!
