…when I can sit and think for a second - until then, I’m just gonna link to this post since it made me smile….
Have a great Saturday! :-) (Stop and smell the flowers!)
Happiness is a rose garden...
Peace.

Tuesdays, that is - so often that’s what Tuesdays do for me, they make the long, dreary Mondays of life just fade away…
I don’t even know how - It’s not like anything spectacular happened today…just the regular stuff of life: cleaning the kitchen, running errands, fighting a loaded basket at Wal-mart, eating a microwave “Healthy Choice” meal…and wondering if it’s really all that “healthy”….
…just regular stuff.
But, the world often just looks different to me on Tuesday than on a Monday….a little more hopeful…a little more sunshine (even when it’s cloudy like today).
I actually smiled at people at Wal-mart when they crowded the aisles so it was difficult to get by….I thought, “That’s okay, I’ll just look at the lovely laundry detergent choices before me…it really is remarkable how many options we have….aren’t we blessed!”……..Wow, I’m kind of Stepford Wife-ish on Tuesdays…
…but I digress!
The point is that I smiled….I don’t think I did much of that yesterday….typical Monday!
I guess I need to make an effort to see Mondays like I see Tuesdays….maybe….
I even bought a turkey today…A TURKEY! I thought, “I think I’ll make a turkey this week…that would be nice - who says it has to be saved for Thanksgiving or Christmas…how about Wednesday night?…Happy Wednesday is a holiday, too…” (Yes, I do have these kinds of conversations with my own self in the freezer section of random grocery stores!).
Anyway…buying a turkey to celebrate “Happy Wednesday”, and looking at clothes for a 5 year old who is coming to the U.S. from Cuba, and intently studying a beautiful array of laundry cleaning accoutrement - all of these and more made me smile today…
It just felt really good to smile - the people at Wal-mart might think I’m a little nuts, but that’s okay…
It’s Tuesday!
I hope you smile today - and if you don’t feel like it, then go to Wal-mart and talk yourself into it! 
Peace.
It’s the first day of fall! Welcome Autumn, I love you so….
I love all the trappings of Fall…
I’m having “fun” speed cleaning…which just means I clean like a whirlwind…for a minute, then I stop and do something else for a minute….then back to cleaning…..etc….
This never worked when my kids were home all day. Just when I would tackle one problem area…they would (mainly the boys, of course) create a whole new “problem area”…it was a vicious cycle!
But, today I’m letting little things make me happy… 
…the smell of Pledge and Windex…the fact that I don’t have to wear any makeup…..and beautiful pics of mountain flowers…
So, that’s my Monday plan….
peace out…
Peace to the out...dog!
Happy Wednesday.
So, tomorrow is the first day of May. Usually, I’m a huge fan of this time of year. I love springtime in Florida…or anywhere for that matter. London, in May, was especially beautiful…
But, this year May is something to work through…
I began blogging on May 16th, a year ago. It was a matter of survival back then…much more than just a hobby. I was re-reading some of my earliest blogs this morning…thinking back to how I felt a year ago. Probably not the best idea on a “Happy Wednesday”…but, oh well.
The spring, last year, was incredibly painful on many fronts. I think I’m just now coming to terms with how deeply the strife and turmoil affected me. So now I’ve spent a lot of time this spring thinking things like “a year ago today, I was…”. I guess it’s all a part of the healing process.
I know…I know, this isn’t really “Happy Wednesday” talk. Sorry. I guess that’s why I haven’t blogged much lately. My thoughts don’t really make for a very inspiring read. Sorry again.
Anyway, happy, happy Wednesday…it really is happy, after all - and a beautiful spring day to boot.
Do you every wonder where sayings like that come from: “To Boot”…what does that mean? Maybe it originated from pirates and they would pillage and plunder to get the “booty”…and so an additional bonus would be “to boot”…or maybe it has to do with a guy’s boot…
These are the kind of things that I ponder…like this morning when I couldn’t remember whether it was an acre or a mile that has 5,280 feet in it…turns out it’s a mile - an acre has 43,560 sq. feet in it…
Now this is more like “Happy Wednesday” talk…and informational…to boot!
So, have a happy, happy Wednesday. I’m currently trying to lighten my “it’s almost May” mood by watching “Dharma and Greg”…I really can relate to Dharma for some reason. I think if my parents had been hippies, I would’ve turned out a lot like her. I did spend a lot of time at the local health food store getting fresh carrot juice and grinding our own organic peanut butter…plus, Barbie wasn’t allowed in our house because my mom believed they sent the wrong message to young girls (they kind of objectify women)…hey, maybe I am “Dharma”…or was, in another life - Just Kidding!
Anyway, Happy Wednesday. I hope you all have many miles…and acres of happiness.
Peace out.
