I’m coming off of an amazing weekend and feeling bright and shiny. Maybe, I’ve grown up a bit. I’ve achieved some amazing things this week such as, keeping my mouth shut when I really want to say, “I told you so” and other such sayings. I managed to walk away from negativity and laugh while doing it. Growing, growing by leaps and bounds I am. Don’t worry about me being cocky because I’m sure next week I’ll be in a bad place where I tell someone what I really think and cry on the bathroom floor because someone was mean to me. It happens doesn’t it? It’s all part of life. The roller coaster of emotions, of luck both good and bad constantly changing. It’s Springtime and I feel awakened by the endless possibilities that lie before me while honoring the lessons that might unfold in the not so happy times. I hope you are all with me planting seeds …….And pulling weeds!
This week I learned that:
10. people keep asking me for eggs since we got chickens. ( I keep waiting for someone to ask, “When can I come clean the coop?” I’ll be waiting for a while I suppose.)
9. most people are surprised that you don’t need a rooster for a hen to lay eggs. ( Shocker I know, but honestly I had to think about it myself before we got the birds.)
8. simplicity usually wins. ( There doesn’t need to be a huge production. Sometimes just a simple daisy speaks more than an entire bouquet. )
7. people think that I don’t ever leave the house because I homeschool and don’t “work”. ( Personally, I like being home, but with homeschooling I’m always out of the house. I’m more social and so are my kids. As far as work goes, well, I have the luxury of being able to work at home. win-win)
6. I need to tell people that I’m a writer when they ask if I work instead of saying, “No, I don’t work. ( I don’t know why I do that. Then I get mad when people think I don’t work-Ugh! )
5. some people keep Facebook accounts just to find out what other people are doing not to actually post anything. ( I have had people comment to me several times about MY Facebook activity, but they appear inactive. Stalkers I tell you.)
4. there will just never be enough time to do everything in a day that I want to do. ( I know, it took me this long to figure that one out. No organizational chart can help me.)
3. it’s not only okay, but necessary to take sometime to do NOTHING. ( I can’t believe I just wrote that one. I have gotten more done since I took an entire day off. I ate, took in some rays, read a magazine and sipped a cocktail. Life is good.)
2. being a size 6 after being a size 2 is considered fat. ( Yes, I was called fat and fatter etc…this week. I guess gaining 10 pounds in 14 years is a big no-no to some. I think I look pretty damn good. Oh well.)
1. not one single person in this world has it all together. ( We only see a tiny snippet of a persons’ life. Try to remember that when you are moved to judge. I try too, but alas I’m not perfect either. A good reminder for us all.)

#3 and #1 Definitely hit home for me! I haven’t been taking nearly enough time for myself lately and it’s starting to take it’s toll.
Who ever made comments about the weight gain needs to be smacked, seriously! How rude!
