The Slump...........

I've been in a huge slump this summer.

I'm not sure why either. Maybe it was my birthday this year?

I find myself reminiscing a lot lately. It sure doesn't help that there is a facebook page from the city I grew up in full of nostalgia. Memories of my teen years. And highschool.

My mom getting older and needing more help doesn't help either. Then the guilt if I can't help her right away.

The daughter living in a different state is pretty rotten too.

Starting school is scary again. I was pretty confident when I was talking about it but now it's really going to happen. What happens if I do poorly??

I'm taking my trip soon. Just for six days. I know I will enjoy myself. I always get a bit of anxiety about flying though.

Loss of friendships. I know it happens in life and it's certainly happened to me. Sometimes I just wonder why. Did I say or do something. Wracking my brain trying to figure it out sometimes drives me nuts. Trying to get in touch with people again and not succeeding. It's sad to me.

The upside of that is finding long lost friends again through facebook. People that new you back when. It's fun to catch up again.

I have a bunch of crochet work that I need to post. Every time I go to post it, I think, "why bother". I know other crocheters are interested in my crochet stuff, but most of the people I know don't crochet.

I am in a rut. Hopefully I'll get out of it soon.

Happy Birthday!!!

Today is my birthday. And my daughters birthday.

Happy birthday Daughter!!!

Something to think about

1. There are at least two people in this world that you would die for. 2.. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way. 3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you. 4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you. 5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep. 6. You mean the world to someone. 7. You are special and unique. 8. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you. 9. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it. 10. When you think the world has turned its back on you take another look. 11. Always remember the compliments you received.. Forget about the rude remarks. Good friends are like stars......... You don't always see them, But you know they are always there.. "Whenever God Closes One Door He Always Opens Another, Even Though Sometimes It's Hell in the Hallway" I would rather have one rose and a kind word from a friend while I'm here than a whole truck load when I'm gone. Happiness keeps You Sweet, Trials keep You Strong, Sorrows keep You Human, Failures keeps You Humble, Success keeps You Glowing, But Only God keeps You Going
