I have been married to a wonderful man for 11 years. This was a journey that we started in January 2008. This was our page, but since it is more for me then him now, I thought I needed to make this more for me. Everyone that has continued on this journey with me has never just been online people they are what I call friends. Without each of you, I could not of done this. Yes I'm a strong person, but the support is what makes the difference. Thanks from the bottom of my heart for being here and never given up on me.

      Inspiration and Humor to Help You Over the Hump

    This life is yours. Take the power to choose what you want to do and do it well. Take the power to love what you want in life and love it honestly. Take the power to walk in the forest and be a part of nature. Take the power to control your own life. No one else can do it for you. Take the power to make your life happy. Susan Polis Schutz

    Another Awesome Week!

    Wow another week is here and before we know it, it will be Friday again. LOL Oh My Gosh I love weekends. Well we just got power on here about 2 hrs ago. And I took the longest bath ever. It was hot and I washed everything about 10 times. heheheh Power went out with our wonderful snow storm that I thought would never stick with all that rain. But guess what it did and it was a lot of it. I actually made it to work, because a dear friend and her hubby came and picked me up. Now that was nice, but I was surprised that there was not much on the roads. Which was nice, but I don't drive in that stuff. Oh yea I had the worst hair every. Lucky I took a shower last night before we lost power so I had clean bed hair. Not a pretty site, but I did use baby wipes to wash the other parts. LOL so I didn't smell bad. So things here are just as grand as they have been. I actually feel so great. Looking forward to 69 degree weather on Friday and I hope over the weekend, I want to go for a long long hike somewhere and just enjoy seeing things. With it being so cold I feel that the walls are folding in on us, we need to escape for a day. So I sure hope it is nice.  I have not had a chance to check out any blogs, but I really hope that everyone is doing great and if you are not. I have an idea for you, this is what I did to help me getting over my crappy feeling. I sat down for about 3 nights in a row and wrote in my journal everything positive that happened during the day. Nothing negative all postive. And then on my 4 journal entry I listed everything postive that happened in those last 4 days and read them over and over and made the decision that nothing that comes my way can be all that bad. That I needed to start looking forward to the next day and what it will hold for me. I know I was there and it is not easy. But I promise you that there is more positive in our lives then negative we just have to find it. Some of the positive was just little things like 1 thing was the excitment the seniors at our center got when we had them a surprise birthday party. So I thought wow what little thing we did for them really meant so much to them. Okay that was just a thought I wanted to share.
     
    Going to be now, have an exciting day tomorrow at work. I start tomorrow making up training manuals for all the areas. Have not idea how I'm going to start, except with both of my feet and hands and going to do an awesome job at it.
     
    Good night everyone. Remember I love you guys and really hope that everyone is doing great.
     
    Also wanted to thank everyone for your wonderful awesome comments on my last blog, you guys are the greatest and that is why I'm still here.

    Guess What Today IS????

    It is Fridayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!! Can I get a Woohoooo from anyone. I"m so excited that it finally made it here. I took today off to take care of some things with my mom, but have been on the computer working on crap for work since 5:00 am this morning and just got it finished and emailed to our funding agency. Just waiting now for a reply with hopes that it all is approved if not then we no longer have senior center funding as of March 1st. Crappy, but I guess I will just have to sit here and wait it out. So on to other things. LIfe is still so freaking positive that I'm doing flips as I type. I love this me, of course some might just say I need to be on some meds since I have went from feeling so low to being on a totaly high. But you know that I like it here, so I'm taking full advantage of it all.
     
    Well I think I will get off of here and watch some Grey's Anatomy Marathon of Season 3 and take a little nap.
     
    Hope everyone is doing great, and I will be checking in later on. Also don't forget 1 more week until it is time to give this basket of goodies away.
     
    Love and hugs to all of you guys,

    Just a Quickie

    Just wanted to drop in and say a BiG Hello to everyone and hope that this week has brought awesome things and feelings to everyone. I have had a stressful but very productive week. Things at work is not good at all. But I feel that if they have to cut my pay that I will just deal with it. At least I will still have a place to work. Well I hope so. Do you know that the one thing that scares the crap out of me about this, is that I will not have health insurance. What will I do without it. I have no idea. I have never been with out insurance. Wow! scarey shit!!! Anywho everything is great. I am happy with my decisons to get back going on ME!! Well better get off of here and go to bed. Miss all you and love you guys! And also have to say that I'm being so positive that at times it makes me kinda sick to my tummy I'm pushing out that smiling and just trucking on. You know it is hard work, but I feel great when I do it. Nope not going to get down. Can't do it! NOpe will not. LOL Good night folks!
     
    Hugs, Terry

    Terry - there is a WAY easier way to cook the spaghetti squash, do as Corey said - cut it lenght wise, gut out the seeds and pulp, put face down in the MICROWAVE - with 1/4 cup of water until the outside skin is soft - anywhere between 10-20 mins depending on how large a squash... must faster and easier!!!!
