Grateful Day #2

You ever have one of "those" days? You know the day. The day when you wake up to NO heat in your house a week before Christmas or the one where your car doesn't want to stay on and cuts off on you in the middle of the road on a Monday morning on your way to a work meeting. Or the day when you come home from a work meeting and realize that your flea problem is worse than you thought it was and an exterminator is needed ASAP.

Oh wait a minute, that was my day today. What a horrible, stinking, defeating morning!

Several times I had to remind myself to breathe and remain calm. To think of the little things. The things that I take for granted. The things I should be most thankful for. My home, my car (that did get me to my Monday morning meeting and back home). To be grateful that I woke up yet another morning. Another morning(opportunity) that I ordinarily would not have thought too much about.

So to the universe & the heavens, I say thank you. Thank you for lending me another 24 hours to right my wrongs, learn something new, talk to my family and just BE.

Grateful Day #1

Okay, so today I'm grateful that I checked off the top 5 things on my to-do list, I started to catch & stop myself from thinking negatively and I've decided to finally set my goals and achieve. Writing this post of a small step in the process but now that I'm typing this is the the farthest from want I want but since I put it on my to-do list I had to check it off.

So I'm done so I can finish watching the Survivor Finale.

Hello November #9

My favorite Quote:

The obstacle is the path - A Zen proverb

To me this resonates because that which is harming me, holding me back and/or stunting my growth is what I need to "deal" with in order to continue on my journey in this life. A person shouldn't run from their problems but to them for clarity on which direction I should go.

I need to confront my problems & insecurities, that is the only way.

Hello November Day #8

Ok, so I was looking around the internet for a 30 day blog challenge and stumbled onto this one from Kristazzi

This is just what I was looking for so I'm going to dive right in: Day 8, Worst Habits

1) Procrastination

2) Laziness

3) Pessimism

4) Glass Half Empty vs. Half Full mentality

Throughout my life I've struggled with these but have never really dealt with them. Well at the age of 40 I'm finally ready to put them away. They have served their purpose in my life and now I want to replace them with:

1) Ambition

2) Motivation

3) Optimism

4) Half Full outlook vs. Half Empty

Macon, Georgia #15

During my April break this year My daughter & I went on a quest to find Honey Boo and it took us through Macon, GA. When we left our house on April 3rd we 1st stopped in Mcdonough then Irwinton and finally in McIntyre when Honey Boo Boo lives. We then doubled back and spent the evening in Macon.



Our first stop was at Ocmulgee National Monument. 
This was our first visit to an Indian mound, although Georgia is known for a few of them. They were really cool and big.You could go in this and walk to others that were not opened. National Parks are free to enter so what better way to pass the time, view nature and see something new & interesting.

2nd stop was to Fort Hawkins but unbeknownst to me it was closed.
It's open on the weekends & is also always free. It's coined as being the "birth place of Macon".



It was starting to rain so we decided to go check into our hotel and end our day at Carrabba's. We got up the next day and went to tour downtown Macon and visit the Visitor Information Center. This place even has a mini movie on Macon and what makes it so special.

Believe it or not, visiting a Bass Pro Shop has been something that I've wanted to do for a while so when I found out that Macon had one, I put it on the list. Other than the sporting goods purchases that you make it's absolutely free to go in, take pictures and enjoy the creativity of marketing. (remember picture to come).

I enjoyed Macon and want to go back to visit all of the many museums that it has to offer.
