Getting Life Right!

Things I have been grateful for this week: Hot showers Green tea Beeswax candles Yogurt Talk radio Comedy Shows Machines that turn coins into dollars Nail Clippers Flip Flops Being resourceful LIFE NUGGET There was a time when a class I took was pretty hard for me, but I got through it with a good grade. Someone said to me was it hard and my response was: "It was hard until I learned how to do it"...sometimes life is like that things seem hard if not impossible. Once you learn what you need to it's no longer impossible or even hard.

LIFE NUGGET We all deserve a nice place to live. We deserve to have the ability to be happy and  able to engage in activities that bring us excitement and fufillment. Letting go of the things or people around us that no longer serves are needs is a necessary part of creating space for the "new" to come into our lives. It could be a new home, new job, new person, etc. Living simply does not mean living without anything. It means not filling up your life with the unnecessary or even potentially harmful "clutter". What is not serving you anymore? What do you need to let go of?

Mocha Frappuccino light-one of my favorites. Parks that are right on the beach-I love that! Riding bikes to the Oyster Festival with Chris Live music Watermelon Weeding the herb garden Learning about drying herbs Clearing out another large bag of stuff/clutter Waking up earlier Finding a hair salon that is good and has reasonable prices

GRATITUDE STOMPS OUT SELF-PITY Getting the deck painted Walking on the Sandbar Shrimp Ceaser Wraps Coffee mugs Having a nice dinner with my husband and daughter Hearing my Grandson start to say words Digital Cameras Bread Doing some decluttering Starting a new book and finding it's going to be a good one.

LIFE NUGGET Curtis Martin, running back for the Patriots and the Jets was inducted in to the Pro Football Hall of Fame last night. I listened to his speech. It was moving and touching, but the line that stood out for me was about routine or committment. He said Coach Bill Parcells told him some people go through their routine everyday and some people even get better at that routine, but to move to the next level you have to make a committment. What a great philosophy and way to live. Really be committed to what you are doing in your life. GRATITUDE I am grateful for the nice party we had last night with our family.
