Super Groundhog or Goundhog Soup???

Well after a weekend of rodents not seeing their shadow, more of the frozen white stuff from the sky and howling winds- tonight it's apparently the party of the year- at least in the sports world. I'm not too into it this year-- obviously, I'd rather write for you my preciouses~~

Not a big, exciting, weekend here~mostly hanging out w/the Monkey and hoping WoWzer (my younger brother who's taken root in the bedroom above the garage~ who plays WoW a LOT!! Hence the moniker) would get off the PC and quit hogging the bandwith...

However, had another one of those right person at the right time events take place-- this is starting to be a habit!! Spent a while emailing back and forth with a dear friend from my past, who knew me as I was and knows me as I am- I'm so proud to say we've both grown and matured in so many ways-- we got on the subject of faith- something I RARELY talk openly about... he said some things that really gave me some inspiration... and made quite a bit of sense and opened my eyes... again, when we let it the Universe has a way of bringing who we need into our lives in the very moment we need them. I'm starting to be more open to that as an effort to start fresh with this new move I'm in the midst of... It's my goal to have a totally new house, new stuff in it, a new outlook on Monkey and his issues and a new lease on life- it's not a resolution, but a true goal to be healthier, happier and saner in the next few months. Allowing myself to be open to new ideas and the right people at the right time, will crucial in that goal.

I talked the other day about loving ourselves where we are at in this very moment of our lives... and accepting others input in our lives is very important in that venture.  We need to hear (and listen to) how others view us and our deeds from time to time- and let the martyr and 'ah shucks' facades down for a while... YES sometimes hearing too much goodness about ones self can cause us to get all bloated and big headed and there is nothing pretty about being bloated-- believe you me!! But we all as humans hunger to hear we're doing a great job at whatever we are invested in-- our jobs, caring for our children, caring for our parents, what ever it is... an 'attaboy' or 'attagirl' is a nice thing to get every once in a while.  Sometimes it's taking a compliment in general~ just saying "Thank You" when someone says, "You look nice today." without the heavy sigh or 'whatever' response.  Remember, they're looking at us from the other side of the mirror...

Just wanted to give a shout out to my friend who unwittingly helped me tonight~~ and let you know I hadn't forgot about this here writing thing I've committed to doing- I'm sure I'll have much more to say tomorrow-- but for the moment I've got to get to the laundry... the fun never ends!!

Sweet dreams my darlings!!
