A Little Daily Wisdom

Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart. And try to love the questions themselves.

-Rainer Maria Rilke

Yes, I'm still here. No, I don't have anything more to say right now. But I will soon. I promise. :)

Sleep well, little ones. There is life on the way.

Note To Self: MOVE IT

Exercising seems to have become a way of the past for me. These days, my kick-butt treadmill is packed up in the garage (with the rest of the junk I'm "storing"), Mom's lower-tech treadmill is going unused, and the fancy schmancy Elliptical & I only got acquainted for a very short time once earlier this week. So, while I sit here waiting for Mom's computer to find its new printer (with the Wally World cord that Mama just had to have tonight!), I'll take the opportunity to write a reminder to myself: Get up off your lazy bottom, Heidi, and DO SOMETHING.

A Little Prayer For Us All

Dear Lord, please protect me from them.
Also protect them from me.
You know we mean only good and no hurt, although all too often our actions have unintended consequences.
Let the hurdles I create in others' paths be as low and easy-to-clear as possible.

You say a prayer... So can I. Ribbit,ribbit.

Thanks, Lois, for a fabulous dinner tonight! LOVE YOU GUYS!

Watch Out, World!

I so should've taken a picture of my big sexy truck. You just can't understand it's pure sex appeal until you've seen it... or driven it. I'm amused at the image of myself driving that darn thing. Man... and no one even SAW me! LOL Thank goodness my experience with Sexy Truck... we'll call him S.T. for short... is not yet over. Oh boy... I can't wait to load him up and vroom, vroom, vroom up the road for 6 hours. (Okay, seriously... how many of you have ever tried to SPELL your favorite words/sounds that you use when demonstrating how a big truck sounds. I went through buddin'/booddin', putt putt putt, and rrrraarrarrraarr before settling on vroom. Silly onomatopoeia.)

Anyway, going to get the truck is gonna have to count for several boxes. I was determined to get at least five more done tonight even after girls' night at the martini bar... but it was not to be... as I have run out of tape. Eh... so I worked on the 2nd hard room and just sorted through stuff. I'm getting there. I swear I am.

Two days left in the Boro and with my little muffins. Winds of change, they are a-blowing. I like the warm air they bring. :)

How Good Am I

5 boxes packed before running - check
Run - check
Dinner (pssghetti @ home) - check
5 boxes packed after dinner - almost check (4 completed... lots of other stuff sorted through with boxes ready to be packed.

This gives me a headache, though.

Forgiveness is giving up the possibility of a better past.

And I'll just add to that... and allowing for the possibility of a better future. :)

Hope your Monday's as warm and sunny as mine. Despite the 1/2 mile visibility because of thick fog around and below Chester (not including Chester), the trip down to S'boro was pleasant. Now, it's so warm and beautiful here, I think I'll go to the pool! Oh wait... there's packing to do. And I'm in the mood to do it. Maybe I should focus.

Here's to good news all around.
