Welcome to my Pity Party!

Ever have one of those days when everything goes wrong and the world seems to be against you for some cosmic reason you can’t seem to figure out? Whew!  Me, too!!!
It happens!  Not everyTHING can go well everyTIME!  Where’s the lesson in that?  And I do   believe life throws us lessons. It’s up to us to do the learning. 
When I do have days where all I want to do is pull the covers over my head and cry; I allow myself that Pity Party!  It’s okay to be sad, it’s okay to be disappointed with life. Just don’t let that become your life or your way of thinking. 
I’ll occasionally allow myself a 15 minute cry session, giving in to the thoughts of feeling cheated or whatever the feeling.  I  never get stuck there.  I feel the feels and move on. 

Sometimes it just feels good and right to cry and allow yourself a pity party. Who doesn’t love a good party!!

Attention Gilmore Girls Fans!!

A few years ago I put out a Facebook plea...What series can I watch on Netflix? My daughter’s best childhood friend suggested that I watch Gilmore Girls. She told me growing up she thought the relationship between Alyssa and I was so Gilmore Girls. After watching the first couple episodes I was hooked. I mean the comedic timing and character brilliance of this dramedy had me at hello! As for the reference of my relationship with Liss, I thought, “Were you visiting the right house?” I’ve since recognized her comparison as one of the highest compliments!  I strive to be a Loreali!
I’ve got the fast talking down to a science!
However.... the Paris’ in life can drag you down! I have a bestie that must deal with a “Paris” on a daily basis. You know the KIND. They deplete your energy, take the wind from your sail, try to outdo you in every capacity, want your advice and examples only to tweak them and make them just a smidge better in order to take credit and THEN walk away thinking they are KIND…

Hanging on by a Thread

I’ve got this great green sweater with the coolest two hole oval wooden toggle button. The babies I nanny for love it!  They play with it and pull on it as if it’s a toy.   Therefore, it’s usually literally hanging by a thread! Doesn’t life feel a little like that sometimes?  You’re played with and pulled on emotionally so much sometimes that it feels like you’re hanging by the proverbial thread? Well, just like when my button is hanging off that sweater and I securely sew it to fasten it back on; so we should do with our life.  Mend it. Do what you need to do for you! Will eating healthier make you feel better?  Then do it! Will joining a gym or working out in some way make you feel better?  Do it! Whatever it is that gets you out of your head and makes you feel better you should do! I’m not talking about major life changes or things that could potentially hurt others in the process.  That’s selfishness to an extreme!   It is however ok to be a bit selfish and indulge in what makes you feel s…

Spring is in the air-It’s time for change!

Seasons change so the saying goes...I love expressions and  I am a believer in fanute not ‘twas ever thus!  Some of the weather this past week has reminded me of spring and for that I am grateful. Luckily, I’ve always been a spring girl! My birthday is in spring!  My friend’s mom was a Mary Kay-lady and in high school informed me my face/skin tone  is spring!  Spring is the time when many plants begin to grow and flower. I recently read the book, How to be Happy, Dammit. A Cynics Guide to Spiritual Happiness.  By Karen Salmansohn.  It is quoted in the book that some plants are only meant to last for a season or a certain time. If you try to make them live longer, you will be a bad gardener.  It goes on to say this is true of people, jobs and problems in general.   Perhaps, page 41 of the book was the most helpful to me.  In short it stated if you give a plant direct sunlight and plenty of water when it thrives best in darkness with very little water it will die.  I’ve never had a green thumb. M…
