The Road to Success…

I’ve shared “the list” with you a couple of times over the last few months and am happy to say that I have been working on a couple of items on the list!!!  Three items in particular actually… Here’s to crossing my fingers that I keep at it and make them come to fruition.

So far I have made good on making at least one new recipe a month since the start of the year and have already done 3 craft shows this year! Woo hoo! You’ll have to wait to hear more on those in later posts though so hold your horses. :)

Another goal I had on the list is to see 10 concerts in a year. While it’s too early to know if I will make this goal or not, I am having oodles of fun trying too! The only thing that stands in the way of completing thus goal is fundage!!! Seriously, there are soooo many acts that I want to see this year I’m at the point where I have to pick and choose because the $ definitely adds up! Between tickets, parking and food & drinks it’d be very easy to go broke!!!

So far I’ve made it to 3 this year with number 4 only a little over a week and a half away. I can’t wait to see what others I end up going to this year!  Crossing my fingers to score Incubus tickets next week and also hoping to see Scott Blasey, Amos Lee and the Goo Goo Dolls throughout the summer in addition to NKOTBSB on the 15th.  That would put me at 8 by the end of August and I already know I’ll be seeing an up and comer in September…. That’s sooooooo close to my goal if all goes according to plan!

 

It has been sooooooo much fun getting back to going to live shows.  I ended 2010 by going to 3 of the best I’d ever been to and am hoping to keep it going for as long as I can!

Stay tuned for posts detailing each show experience!  I have two ready and waiting to go and number three will follow suit shortly!

Better Days…

Yesterday

I was without a doubt in an unrelenting horribly, awful mood.

There wasn’t one significant thing that got me there…

Perhaps a combination of many things that just compounded into an unbelieveably foul mood…

 Apologies to any and all that were affected by my mood because try as I may, yesterday there was no hiding it or getting around it.

Last Night…

A much-needed and long-awaited restful sleep took grasp of me on the early side last night…

Couldn’t even tell ya what time it was went I allowed myself to succumb to the sleepy haze that took hold.

Dreamless sleep was apparently something I needed.

Today

A new day is upon me, having woken up much earlier than I usually prefer on a weekend…. 6:30 AM.

I feel rested.  Something I haven’t felt in a little over a week.

That horribly awful mood seems to have dissipated.  THANK HEAVENS for that!!!

Today I am excited…

I find out if my little sister’s baby #3 is pink or blue…

She’s already got two blues which is par for the course in our family that is predominantly blue… maybe this is the one.

Stay tuned to a later post with the results!!!

My point…

No matter the day, circumstance or situation… Better days are ALWAYS ahead.

Don’t let darkness take you over.  At times you may feel helpless and allow yourself to let the darkness take hold.  Sometimes you just can’t shake it; It happens to the best of us from time to time.

You can take control if you want.  Yesterday I didn’t do such a good job of it.. but hey, I am ONLY human. 

I have weaknesses and can easily get lost in my own thoughts, the actions of others and the dark cloud that looms over at times.

The promise of Better Days is always there. 

You just have to accept the yucky ones and take them for what they are. 

Learn from them. 

Grow from them.

Acknowledge that Better Days are sure to come… let them in and enjoy them.
