I think it's about time I wrote what I'm grateful for today:
My life, where I've been, where I am and where I'm going...
My healthy life
My beautiful, wonderful husband who makes me laugh more than I ever
realize
My scrumcious, cute as a bug daughter who makes me smile more than I
ever thought I could
My house that I live in, the endless storage and cute rooms that still
have so much potential
The Chai tea I indulged myself with today
The friends who hug me via email and how I can definitly feel it
The family that checks in
The comfortable jeans that I know I should get rid of but can't
My funny co-workers, my caring co-workers
My legs that let me walk to the beach
The eyes that get to see the sun go down and come up
My writing group women who never stop amazing me with their beauty
The 5 min conversations with old friends
Gilmore Girls and Alias - women kick ass
The beauty I see every day through others blogs, journals, photographs,
books - my inspiration!
THANK YOU!!!!
what am i waiting for?
what is it going to be for me to start living this life that i truly want?
what will it take?
i talk and i talk
about the dreams i have
about what i want out of life
i talk and i talk
i've read self help over and over and i must say i've stopped doing that but still, i've done it and nothing! nothing has changed much
yes, i've come a long way but still...
I WANT MORE!
i want it all
i want to get up in the morning and be totally satisfied with what i'm offering myself and this world
i want to be proud
i want to show Kadison that yes! you can do whatever you want
you just have to work at it
so...what am i waiting for?
what is it going to take?
i sit here cruising the blogs i often read, i see everyone else doing it...living their dreams...
why don't i think i can do it?
is it the midwestern in me that thinks that i have to be realistic?
i need all the answers first before i can actually jump
i don't know...but all i do know is that i'm sick of talking about it
i'm sick of thinking about it
i need to ACT now!!!
maybe i need a life coach? someone to kick my butt into shape and my mind too....

Do you ever get sick and tired of hearing yourself talk
Or better yet, do you ever get sick and tired of hearing yourself talk inside your own head?
I'm there.
I'm sick of talking about what I want, where I should be, where I should be going and my overall state of mind.
I'm here ....
My mind races like greyhounds running for the rabbit
I try to calm it by breathing long deep breaths
I try to calm it by being with my sweet baby girl
I try to calm it by sitting with nature
I try to calm it by listening to my favorite music in my car
And it works....for a while....
I'm here...
Trying to be still....

My mind has been to busy to decipher what to write..
a couple of things i'm enjoying these days...
Wish I could be in Palm Desert to be a part of this
Tuesday's release of "Wildflower"
My dear Gramma Jo ~
seeing all of my family recently I'm reminded how much I miss them
how much I enjoy spending time with them
hearing the old stories they seem to tell over and over ....and how they never get old...

Oh, man...it's been a long time!
I've had some major technical problems and that is why I haven't been around.
Thank you to all who've checked in to see what's up.
I appreciate the concern.
But all is ok and my site is back up due to the wonderful people at Dreamhost!
I'd love to say that there has been so much going on and catch you all up but it's been life as we know it.
Kadison is 5 months! Yes, 5 months. She's rolling over, picking things up and putting everything in her mouth, she smiles and laughs all the time and she'll probably be walking before she ever crawls!
I took a trip back to Wisconsin to see family ~ a quick trip but so worth it. The trees are already changing colors, the sunflowers are drying up and my Grampa P. is digging up the last of what he planted in his garden. Fall is coming and soon after ...the dreadful winter.
Kadison got to meet her extended family - her cousins, her crazy great aunts, her great grandparents and everyone in between. Of course, everyone loved her and she enjoyed seeing and meeting them. She was such a good traveler; can't wait for the many trips this little girl is going to be taking!
Sad news to tell ~ My Dad's father passed away last night. My dear Grampa A. I'm comforted by the fact that I got to see him last week and that I held his hand, told him I loved him and that he knew. He lived a good life.
You will be missed Gramps...You will be missed....
