HAPPY HUMPY DAY (WEDNESDAY)!!!

Good am all, How are ya'll doing? Great I hope. Its the 1/2 way mark through the week & the weather is really interesting to say the least. Hot, cold then today temps could reach up to 77 degrees here. Another beautiful day to get out in nature & really embrace the day & really get in some sunshine & fresh air.

Spent yesterday a bit moody as I have been trying to work through some things & it seemed it was one of those days where I couldn't get to the phone fast enough, the door, the light etc. Things kept piling up, worries, responsibilities, frustrations, concerns, chores & all out needing to get away & "be" for a bit. I went by my sis's & her & I chatted for a while. We both needed it. Its so rare now that happens...life & all. I left there nearing 10 pm & while driving I thought about the events that happened throughout the course of the day & how mad I actually got about some things that are seriously laughable at that point & I was looking at the houses with all the Cmas lights & people getting gas & eating late night @ Wendy's and other places.  I was at a light & saw a man walking down the sidewalk on the main road & he was smiling & talking maybe to God? But, he was smiling and as I kept driving I got a phone call I'd been waiting on for more than an hour & I was honestly mad about that as well. My time I believe is just as valuable as yours. The conversation carried on for about 15 minutes & I was still in a funk after hanging up. I got out of my car & the neighbors 3 dogs were outside. 2 puppies & a big lab Sandy. I stopped, put my things down & petted/chatted with them for a while. I don't know how long & don't care. What I do know is they were calming, interesting, peaceful, loving, playful & best of all got me thinking of how just a little attention on the more important things and less of the things that won't matter anyway is the way to go.  Why did my day go so roughly? What made me so upset? What could I have done differently, said differently to change my outlook/mood? Its because I let things build & bubble over from recent days/weeks & I hadn't yet processed some things I needed & therefore simple things turned into ridiculous things & there you go. I hadn't found the joy in the simple things only the frustrations in the "harder" things. In reality the "harder" things weren't hard at all as I've done them or dealt with them a trillion times. I even felt like crap for forgetting to return some phone calls & grab a package & mail a couple things. UGH! So, its a NEW day with NEW chances & choices to focus on what's important & find joy in it all. I really like this quote off my daily calendar. It really goes along with my posts this week & I wanted to share it here. It might be a good idea to ask ourselves how we develop our capacity to choose for joy. Maybe we could spend a moment at the end of each day and decide to remember that day--whatever may have happened--as a day to be grateful for. In so doing we increase our heart's capacity to choose joy. - Henri Nouwen Just reading that I know its really true. At the end of the night when I was done hanging with the puppies & came into the house I looked around & thought--the Cmas lights are still on, the living room light is still on, all in all my day wasn't THAT bad, I got to spend time with my sis & nephews, my buggas, the puppies, time in nature & I did manage to accomplish so much once I REALLY looked at my day. Dontcha know there were points in my day when I did seek joy & found out? For every rough part of the day I found joy but was too busy being grumpy to notice. Hmmmmmmmmmm.... I'm sippin' of my cuppa & my buggas are proudly drawing on the bedroom floor & I'm looking out the bedroom window & today, this am, right now I am finding things that will bring joy in my day. I have to remember to give more to the Lord and less to the Devil, that everything does happen for a reason, that those who love me will not be mad because I didn't get a chance to call them back, that the puppise thrive off attention much like my buggas, that a simple gesture, hard work, determination & spreading love, joy & cheer can make our day so much more fulfilled & I am truly grateful & blessed. Enjoy your Wednesday! All best....

Good Morning  Hope today brings you plenty of sunshine and love and joy!! Your so right in the words you have posted. If we all stopped once in a while and knocked that nasty  Devil off our shoulders and brought the Lord into our lives more there would be less hate in the word, less anger less divorce, less killings less of everything, we could go on and on here all day. I know I have sat  and reevaluated alot of things in my life latley and  there are alot that needs to go. The negative out way the positives and have been pulling me down and they have to go. So Ive made my New years reselution early and that was to sweep away the negatives as a friend told me I needed to get rid of them and day by day thats what Im doing. And bringing the positives back into  my life, and the good Lord will be one of them. So thanks for your  daily posts. They are inspirinf to some. Hope you and all have a great day and everyone is ennoying this beautiful day ahead of us and getting those last minute holiday shopping or decorating chores done for it calls for rain on Thursday.

Good morning my inspirational friend!  Yesterday was a bit rough for me too.  I have been holding in some things, I guess afraid to express myself, not the right moment etc & it kind of errupted finally.  Too many things going on in my head & no real way to get through it all.  Holiday stress, work, kids, etc. all add to it of course.  Did get some things of my chest finally though, also spent some time getting some words of wisdom from my mom.  Although right now I am drained, I am pushing through and aim to make today a better day.  Have a blessed day!  Love ya!
