I Have You To Thank

Today is National Compliment Day!

I think everyone should take a moment to tell someone in their lives that they’re amazing. So often people spend time cutting each other down, even in jest, so a pick me up would be nice.

With that in mind, thanks to my readers for reading. It makes me smile to think you waste valuable seconds of your life reading my blog. That’s amazing & it means a great deal to me.

To my friends, supporters, well wishers & beau, you’re in my life for a reason. I’m thankful that you play the role you do in my life. You all make me so very happy that you’re here & I hope you know how awesome you are.

To the people who don’t like me, I hope you have a good day all the same. Life’s too short to be negative!

I hope that picked you up! Let’s make every day compliment day! We’d be much happier!

This Blog Saved My Life (30 Things)

Hash tags amuse me.

The latest Twitter craze is “30 Things About Me”. How DOES one condense that into 140 characters? I couldn’t, but I’m long winded.

I started thinking about whether or not I could come up with 30 facts about myself that people don’t already know. I’m pretty much an open book and if someone wants to know something, they could just ask. But it still seemed like an interesting idea, so I decided to compile a list.

Forgiveness & Love

Today is the day.

Reverend Run proclaimed today “Forgiveness Day.”

Not a bad idea. Why not take a minute & forgive your grudges? Forgive your pain & let go & go forward without any more regrets.

Grudges hurt the one holding them, not the ones being grudged against. Why let them continue to hurt you?

So, forgive & let go. Move on from the hurt & go forward.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!

Whether today celebrates the new year or you just want free candy, remember to be safe & have fun.

Halloween is a funny sort of day. We dress up in masks (or in some cases, next to nothing) & pretend to be someone else, while acting the most like ourselves. It’s odd that we feel that the costume protects us from all the things that freak us out during the rest of the year.

Maybe we should adopt the Halloween philosophy every day. Let loose & have fun & be goofy. If you need cat ears to do it, wear the cat ears. I can appreciate the irony of the most uptight person saying mellow out. However, I think we all need to be truer to ourselves & stop hiding our truest selves until we wear cat ears. Let’s leave the masks for the trick or treaters.

To my pagan friends, Happy Samhain & have a blessed day. To the rest of us, I’m gonna quote a great composer:

“Tender lumplings everywhere, Life’s no fun without a good scare!”
