One Word Wednesday

Serenity

Just a quick side note.  Does anyone remember Seinfeld and George's dad screaming 'Serenity now!  Serenity now!'?  By the end of the show everyone was screaming it.  That show just makes me laugh and not take life so seriously. 

But when you just whisper it.........isn't this picture just about what would pop into your head?

Out of Touch

This describes me at this moment in time.  At least when it comes to blogging and a little bit of life.  I am completely and utterly 'out of touch'.  And I am finding it very difficult to get back in touch. 

Work has still been crazy beyond belief, at least for me.  And life in general has gotten a little stressful, but not necessarily a bad stressful.  It's just that by the time I get home, make a half hearted attempt to make some dinner, try to workout, pick up the house a little bit, all that fun stuff, all I want to do is just sit down and not think about anything or anybody.

I'm 'out of touch'.  Unmotivated. 

As I looked at my life and tried to figure out why I feel so 'out of touch' I came around to the realization that my life is so great and amazing and I should really reach out and touch.  I need to get out of myself and into what is around me.  I need to see.  I need to hear.  I need to feel.  I need to TOUCH!

I think this time of year makes us all stop and ponder what we have and how very blessed we are.  Sometimes it just takes a little more thought with some of us, like me!  Really I am not that bad, most days I thank God for each wonder in my life, but once in a while I sink into myself, not in misery, maybe just pulling back from life to reassess what it is a I really have.  You look and you see so much of what everyone around you is so very thankful for and they let you and the world know it.  They tell you, 'I am thankful for.....'.

'Out of Touch'.

Is this me?  Most of the time, NO!  Is it OK to step back once in a while?  I don't know.  But I do know that it is time for me to jump back into life, be thankful each moment of each day for the wonders and blessings that God has given me.  It's time to take my life and love and hug it for what it is and for what I have been given. 

It's time to be thankful and to thank God.  I am so blessed and I am so amazed at what He has given me.  As the words go in a favorite hymn, 'I stand all amazed at the love Jesus offers me.'  Not the whole hymn, but just so you all know, I am amazed and I am thankful. 

I am not the most analytical person in the world but these are just a few of my thoughts right now.  It's time to step out of myself and to touch someones life.  Hopefully for the better.  I will find the opportunity.  And I will touch someones life.

Tidbits?

Quite a few tidbits just no time to write right now.  I am still alive and here so please check back on Sunday or Monday.  Here is hoping that I have a computer by then.  If not, I will be having a big discussion with my oldest son.

News Alert!! News Alert!!

My video card has officially died in my computer, I can not see a thing, except for green lines.

 That said, I am taking a couple days, hopefully only a couple of days, break from blogging because I really should not blog from work and that is pretty much the only place I have access to a computer right now. Parts are on order, and should be received this week, for a new, improved, and much faster computer.  And this will happen, as long as I can get the oldest son over to my house the second I get the parts, he's a genius, and amazing, when it comes to computers.  Do you think that was enough of an ego boost that he will come at mommy's call?  Let's hope, and let's pray that he reads this.


Please don't leave me in my time of need, and if I find a little extra time at work, or can beg some computer time from the middle son, I will happily send out a new tidbits post and update on the computer and I may even be able to get some new photo's up of tailEnd that I took this past weekend. Wish me luck.

Not Me Monday........

  

MckMama is back.  Yeah!!  Awesome news and prayers answered for Stellan.  And now it's time for that weekly fun carnival that we all love, 'not me Monday!'  Let's all join in and see what we got.

 

I did not learn some great and exciting news this past week that I am not sharing with all of my blog friends, at least for a month or two.  Nope I would never decide to leave you all hanging for a while.  Nope I would never do that. 

 

And I did not sign up for college this past week and have to call my high school to get my transcripts faxed over to said high school, and I was not completely embarrassed by the thought that when I graduated all records were still kept on paper.  Nope I would never let something like that get to me.  Nope, I am completely secure in my age and at my age.  I promise, NOT!!

And I did not have some great and wonderful 'not me Monday' post for the past two weeks that I am not going to link to here and here.  I would never link up like that.  Nope, definitely not me!

I hope everyone has a great week. 

Love to All,
