Happy Wednesday…ode to Forrest and Jenny…

I guess because of the post I wrote yesterday (”Knowing Him Best“), I dreamed about the movie “Forrest Gump”. Let me explain:

In my dream, I could see Forrest trying to run with his braces on his legs, and I could hear Jenny yelling, “Run, Forrest, run!”.  All through the night, my mind kept flashing back to the moment when the braces fell off and Forrest began to run unfettered…like the wind.

This is what love does.  This is what a soul mate can do.  A woman can give a man the courage and strength to run - to break free of his failures and his past - to run and be strong.  And a man can give a woman the shelter she’s never known.  He can protect her from the things that haunt her…bulldozing the bad places and keeping her safe.

I don’t know why I dreamed of “Forrest Gump” - I wouldn’t have put it at the top of my list of romantic movies…

…but I guess it really is - it is a love story….

…and, you know, love wins! :-)

Have a happy Wednesday!

Keep on running!

Peace.

Here’s to happiness…

Byron and I spent our honeymoon in Galveston…almost exactly 19 years ago.  Last fall we went back…

It’s natural to think that some things will always be there to revisit.  After all, Galveston survived the storm of 1900 that killed thousands of people…they survived and rebuilt.

Now Galveston is in ruins once again…our prayers go out to everyone displaced or hurting because of the Gulf Coast storms.

It’s hard to imagine that the very places we saw just a few months ago may no longer be there.

I guess I’m just glad that we went back while we could - I guess it’s a reminder that all we have is today…this moment.

This may seem like an odd thing to blog about on “Happy Wednesday”, but really it’s not.  I’ve been reminded that I should celebrate all the good things in life…all the blessings - every day…

…and especially on “Happy Wednesday”.

Here’s to not taking anything for granted -  every breath is a gift.

Now I think I’ll go hug my kids…

Peace out.

Lovely Day…

I guess some people wouldn’t describe a day filled with grocery shopping, party store hopping and even stops at both Big Lots and Wal-Mart as lovely…

but, still, there was something lovely about it.

Maybe it was that I had some quiet time to myself just to browse…maybe it was that I wasn’t really rushed and could even look for stupid things like the perfect July 4th outfit for Sugar-Boy (How hard could it be to find something cute and patriotic for a three pound purse dog to wear?).

I even found red-white-and-blue Goldfish!! (They make me happy…even if I can’t eat them).

I probably went a little overboard the whole theme thing…but, where’s the fun if you can’t go overboard every now and then?

And when I got home, there were tons of boxes in my front hall….”Barbaric Grace” is finally here.

So, all in all, it was a lovely day. Now I’ve just got to figure out where to put all this stuff….

…and I haven’t even made it to B.J.’s yet!!

(Oh yeah…Happy, happy Wednesday :-) - if you’re not having such a happy day, I recommend eating some patriotic Goldfish!).

Peace.

This Again…

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.
