I can see clearly now...

As the eclectic music lover that I am...I had on the Oldies station yesterday. The first song that I hear in the morning is what sticks with me through the day.

I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW THE RAIN IS GONE
I CAN SEE ALL OBSTACLES IN MY WAY
GONE ARE THE DARK CLOUDS THAT HAD ME DOWN
IT'S GONNA BE A BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT SUN SHINY DAY
IT'S GONNA BE A BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT SUN SHINY DAY

I thought it was ironic how my mini trip lifted me up (literally and figuratively) then to be reminded again (on the ground) how the sun is always shining even when we can't see past the clouds.

Flyin' High

I took a short business trip to MN over the last two days....and I actually came back relaxed!

I realized that flying truly gets me away from the stresses of daily life. I enjoy my "pamper me" nights at home and curling up with a book, but there is just something about really "getting away" from it all and reading my book on the plane. I love the solitude. I get to escape into my thoughts that usually turn to prayer. When I finally land, I am still "flying high" in my spirit.

As I mentioned in Speed Bumps, my life is at a growth point. I sense the winds of change and have absolutely no clue what God may have in store for my life. One thing I do know is that the desires in my heart are there because HE PUT THEM THERE. It is my job to trust that He will fulfill my heart and guide me on the path. I have a peace and an excitement in my soul and look forward to what He brings.

My business trip was also successful and I am looking forward to putting in some changes in my job as well. Again, some of my frustrations point to personal growth. As I stretch and grow...I must make the adjustments in every area of my life, including my career. I am coming closer the the pendulum swinging into balance from "doormat" to "Capital B"...LOL! Being firm, yet graceful is what I am striving for!

We can ALL relate!

The doorbell rings, and a man answers it. There stands a plain but well dressed kid, saying, "Trick or Treat!"

The man asks the kid what he is dressed up like for Halloween.

The kid replies, "I'm an IRS agent." Then he takes 40 percent of the man's candy, leaves, and doesn't say thank you.

Speed Bumps

Yes, Yes, it really is Me...LOL! I know I have slacked off on my blogging/commenting...but here I am!

Since my recovery from my illness this summer...I am learning to take life at a much slower pace.

Sometimes I think that when God wants us to learn something to further our growth...we may be directed down a path with "speed bumps". I have been forced to take the time to look at choices and see that the path I am traveling down is not going to cause damage or consequences that I will regret.

This means taking inventory of my work, church, home, finances, friendships, dating, and life in general.

I am making some difficult decisions, but I feel that now that I have slowed down to go over the "speed bumps" so that I won't cause any damage!

Thanks for finding your way back to my blog! =D

RIDDLE THAT'LL KILL YOUR BRAIN!

This is going to make you so MAD! There are three words in the English language that end in "gry". ONE is angry and the other is hungry. EveryONE knows what the third ONE means and what it stands for. EveryONE uses them everyday, and if you listened very carefully, I've given you the third word. What is it? _______gry?

Anyone that does know the answer....like one of you "realists"...please share! LOL!
