When I was 16 years old, I asked my mom if I could have my own phone in my room. For you youngsters (including my daughters), back then most homes has 1 phone line – that means just 1 little ole phone number that everyone’s friends, family, work and school would call to reach everyone in the family. I KNOW, CRAZY, right? How did we survive??
Today, I am unemployed 11 days (but who’s counting 😉 right?) Look, I don’t wish it on anyone, the stress alone is hard to manage — but I continue working to keep my “Zen” about me, choosing to believe that something great is coming. The ‘not knowing’ is HARD. Selling our home, ‘not knowing’ where we are moving … IS HARD! But there is another side of the HARD coin. And that’s the promise of a new job. The excitement of a new home. The serenity of a newborn happiness. Ahhh, GIMME that HARD. I’ll eat it for lunch!
Anyway….until then. Until the new “great” comes….I’m looking for the bright side. Today’s bright side? Well…..I slept in….until 9:00am! WHAT THE???
Oh yeah! I slept so long, I woke up with a sleeping beauty headache! I haven’t slept that long since….[data is missing]…since who KNOWS! All I can say is, I’m going to e.n.j.o.y. the mornings I can sleep in and catch up on ALL those mornings I woke up before 5am to go to work. I’m going to l.o.v.e. these mornings that I don’t have to set the alarm clock…..and still hope they are as few as possible. #100happydays (91/100)

Up early today for my annual screening mammogram. Oh yea — it isn’t comfortable, it takes a little bravery and your ability to put your modesty away — FOR THE BENEFIT OF YOUR LIFE! You are SO WORTH IT!
Do it ladies. Get your annual mammogram. Love yourself today! My technician was lovely, capable, caring and quick! I bet yours will be too! Deep Breath! #100happydays (90/100)

Ash Wednesday is upon us, and I am so ready for it. For the season of Lent, I am giving up coffee. I did it for the first time last year, and experienced such a clarity of mind once I rid myself of my dependence on coffee. Why did I start drinking it again??? Unclear…but noted!
So this morning, I had a warm, rich, cup of tea in my bumblebee cup. Such good things are coming this season!

February found us. It’s going to snow on and off for the next few days and then get brutally cold on the weekend. I need some therapy. Some GOOD therapy! #100happydays (88/100)

Snow came down, covered the ground, then the sun came out and melted it about!
As I watched the grass appear again through my bright and sunny, sun-filled windows…..I couldn’t help it.
I can feel it. Something great IS coming! Can’t ya feel it too? TRY HARDER 🙂

Every time…..e.v.e.r.y. s.i.n.g.l.e. time our chocolate lab Jewel sees me – her tail wags like a helicopter propeller that could lift her off of the ground! I’m her mommy. She L.O.V.E.S me. This morning, when I walked into the kitchen, she woke up on her doggie bed, and began to wag. Wag, wag, wag. My smile appeared, my heart warmed, my mind brightened, my spirit lifted. Every time….e.v.e.r.y. s.i.n.g.l.e. time I see Jewel…it’s like she is saying — You Are Such A Wonderful Person, and I Love You. E.v.e.r.y. s.i.n.g.l.e. time. I don’t think life can get any better than that.
Ditto Jewely-pup. Ditto to you puppy. #100happydays (83/100)
