Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff This December…

By

December is here & with the Christmas holiday season fast approaching too… Woo Hoo!!!
Are you excited yet – or are you sensing your stress levels starting to rise – just thinking about the busyness of the month ahead?

PrintDon’t Sweat It… You’ll get thru –
you always do – right?

As the saying goes… “Don’t sweat the small stuff” – truth be told – it’s really all small stuff isn’t it?

I know – I know… it’s not all small stuff to you, especially during this time of year. Kind of crazy really how it gets to be super stressful with so much to do & plan, functions to attend, gifts to buy, meals to prepare (mind you there are always meals to prepare – just some bigger than others… just saying), and the list goes on and on…

Henry Ford summed it up pretty good when he said:
“Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.”

I believe that Marriage is an Adventure… and I’m happy to say that I made it official & signed up and for a crazy roller-coaster of an adventure 26 years ago today on November 26th,1988. [Read more…]

Try Something New – You Know You Wanna

By

Try-something-new-todayHave you tried anything new lately… Anything at all?

Let me give you some ideas, to get your brain in gear – thinking about trying something new – like:

  • new foods, recipes or restaurants
  • new activities, hobbies or crafts
  • how about a new workout routine, piece of exercise equipment or fitness app
  • maybe it’s a new date night, a new brainstorming place, or a new trail for walking
  • perhaps it’s a new Networking or MeetUp group to join/try
  • or a new mode of transportation, places to visit, or things to see
  • trying something new could (should) be on your bucket list – just think of it as an opportunity for a new adventure

A Song Can Say So Much…

By

Do you enjoy listening to music… and do you actually listen to the words of the songs too?

I do – I tend to be more into the words myself, although the music needs to compliment the song of course.

I believe that a song can say so much more than what we initially hear – how about you?

So today I asked my family the following:

I sent the request via our iMessage group chat that we have going on…  >>>

And yes – reading it back – I now see a spelling mistake – ugh… [Read more…]
