The Best Medicine

There is something to be said about the way children can play and laugh and have absolutely zero cares in the world except what their next snack might be.  Last night I watched my daughter revel in her after-dinner cookie as if it were the best thing she had ever tasted.  The smile and the satisfaction on her face was worth every one of the last 6 bites of her dinner I had to bribe her to consume. 

Why can't grown ups just willingly swallow our last 6 bites of whatever if we know something good is going to happen for us?  Eternally a pessimist?  Perhaps...Clearly I need to work on that.

This time I'm jumping in feet first so I can continue to breathe with my head above the water.  Then once the water calms I'll be relaxed enough to smile as if I too am enjoying that cookie.

Happy Sunday!

Pass and Pass!

I passed both my state and national real estate sales license exams! 

Another step in the direction towards where I need to be!

February is in the history books!

Wow!  I'm done with February!  This month flew by!  A lot has happened during the past 5 weeks!  I went back to school to get my real estate sales license.  I only have one class left and will be testing this week and next.  I have a few job offers already and also have some other opportunities as well.  Knowing how to make life be a positive thing in this lame economy makes everything else seem unimportant.

I am looking forward to this next chapter in my life!  Thank you to those who continue to make me smile!

Another day closer to where I need to be...

2010 will be MY year!

Completely off topic of work (for once!), I wanted to take a moment and write about this new year. Most of you know how 2009 was quite a life changing experience for me. It was filled with a lot of sadness for my family but a tremendous amount of personal joy as well. As difficult as this year was, I know that I am a stronger person because of it and I am more focused on the kind of life I was meant to have and WILL have THIS year. 2010 will be a year to remember for me for many years to come. I know that I will need to be patient for the amazing things that are about to happen to me, but they WILL happen.

Thank you to the special people in my life. Thank you to my mom, Trish, for giving me words of encouragement and wisdom to help me get to the life she knows I need and deserve. Thank you to old friends who continue to be my sanity and have made me laugh harder than I have in years.  Thank you to my children for continuing to be the amazing little people they are and for showing me that I have a purpose.

I'm especially thankful for learning that soul mates DO exist and that love can find you when you least expect it.

I Am Thankful for Today!

I had an amazing Monday and wanted to thank my friend for making that happen. Thank you for the laughs and a day of nothing but happy things.
