You think you really know yourself

Sometimes situations come up in life and you realize that you have a lot more to work on about yourself.

I just had a great lesson taught to me when I realized the root of some frustration I had been feeling for the last year. Actually a few more years than that but this year it really came into my vision.

So now I can work on it and improve myself even more.

I know that I am so imperfect. But I am thankful that I am able to continue to progress to be the person I really want to be once I realize what I need to change.

Oh I know...such deep thoughts! But it is true. I am not the person I want to be but I do know I am a work in progress.

Why do Mondays make me sleepy?

Yes, it is Monday. I am sitting at my desk. And I want to take a nap. Go figure. Happy Monday!

A dear, sweet friend

Our sweet friend Mary Day passed away yesterday. She was 90. My sister and I loved to visit her. To laugh with her. We loved that she said what she thought. She brightened our day when we visited with her.

We will truly miss her. We are happy for her to be reunited with her Frank. And other family members. But selfishly, we will miss her so much.

Thank you, Mary for your example and your strength. Every day we will miss you.

Love you, Queen Mary! We will always be your serfs.

Sometimes

I think I need a change in my life. Just contemplating it. No set plans. Just thinking.

HaHa

Church activity the other night...Valentine Party.

The emcee asked, "Who has been married the longest?" They figured out who had been married the longest.

Then it was asked, "Who's been married the least?" I raised my hand.

Haha!

Stuff

Grateful for all the stuff in my life. But mostly the people.

A former co-worker contacted me yesterday and told me that one of her good memories of our former workplace was of me. It surprised me because there were much bigger personalities than me there. She also mentioned a friend that worked there, that she remembers too, who does have a really big personality. Anyway- it made my day to be thought of fondly from times past. I hope that I leave a good impression most of the time with those that I encounter. I know there have been times that I haven't and I have had much regret. But generally I think I try.

I am not grateful for all the negativity lately on social media. It is so wearing. So tiring. Makes me feel that people can't find any good out of anything.

Well- I choose to be happy. To be positive. To not let negativity drag me down. I really feel a person can make themselves sick emotionally and physically just by negative thoughts and actions and holding on to the past.

I know for me that I need to strive each day to be happy and grateful for all that I have and to look to the future with positive thoughts. And I will not let others affect me the other way.  I've been learning a lot about being positive and how it can make my day so much better. And my health.
