While prepping for this post, I realized I've been stuck in limbo for a month now. I haven't been pushing forward or even looking for the silver lining in life's trials and tribulations. In fact, my brain has sort of been in idle. Resting I guess. Taking a timeout...a break.... maybe a much needed timeout but breaks over. It's time to re-engage. So without further ado, I'm jumping back into the world of motivating and inspiring by babysteps...
I SOOOOOO get this!!! I'm somewhere near the third curve to the left....
I like this one! On my way to Sherwin-Williams right now!
I know I've been guilty of this one...sort of like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut!
This is SO true and also so tough to remember. It's hard to remember when your feelings are hurt...easy to say but difficult to wrap your head another. We all view life through our own filters....
While I like this one in theory, I refer you back to the first picture and remind you that I am somewhere near the 3rd curve to the left...I think my dream needs glasses! Or at least a compass and a map!!
This is SO true...so many people put their lives on hold, saving for when they can afford it, afraid to stick their necks outside of their comfort zone or expecting to live the highlife after retirement, only to experience a life-altering event that prevents them from ever living their dreams. I wonder how many people lying on their deathbeds look back in regret, wishing they'd had the nerve to just live.
Hummmm...which voice are you listening to today?
Had to throw this one in! So true, so true...
Where are you in your life today? So which one of these speak to you? Or maybe you have another one you'd like to share? Let me know...let's dialog, chat and converse.... (that's code for leave comments!!!)

Found your blog yesterday. Read the whole thing from the beginning. I like it. Deep. Inspiring. I laughed, I cried. This month's blogs sound like you're kinda down in the dumps - less hope. You said it (well, you quoted it) - when a door closes, a window miraculously opens. Hope you and your boys are doing ok. Oh, and I would help you bury a body if you wanted me to - just say the word.
Why thank you! I'm fresh out of bodies that need burying but that could change in a heartbeat!!
I found an old friend on Friday. Her mom told me that we would have to work at it to keep our friendship over time and distance. I told her that would never happen. It did. In reading what has happened to my friend just over the last 2 years of her life made me sad that I hadn't been there for her. Really had never been there for her. She could have written several of these blogs about me and how I let her down, even while we were best friends. She was always there for me, but I can't say likewise. I sure would like to have that friendship back - actually an improved version.... if she would take me? In my defense, I have grown up over the last 30 years from a self-centered brat to a considerate, giving person. All it takes is to have a son who is just as self-centered to help me remove the plank from my own eye!
Is this Holly? And if so, how did you get my blog address? I'd like to think I'm famous and posted all over the web, but....
Yep. I work at the same company as one of Terry's old friends - Paula. She told me about Terry. I didn't believe her, googled your name and up popped your blog. I'm so sorry about Terry....
I don't remember a friend named Paula...is she a friend of hers from KC?
Honestly, it's been really hard to handle even though we really lost her years before. It's been a long time coming and in a weird way it's a relief but I'm still mad about it all...the whole thing just sucks.
Paula actually grew up in Boonville. It was so strange to haR known someone for 20 years and find out you're from the same hometown, especially down here. I think her maiden name was Martin. She may have been a year older than Terry. Hard to believe you were only 45 minutes away from me all those years and now you're gone. My email is Holly.snow@Leggett.com or asnowmom@sbcglobal.net.
My email is dbaslee@yahoo.com
Sorry about the self-centered son...hopefully he'll outgrow it soon!
