Happy 4th of July!!

Happy 4th of July!! 

 

I am back again. Let's hope it's for Good.

Lately, I am really homesick for the beach and my BFF. It has been so long since we saw each other. And even longer since we had a beach vacation. At this point in life, I am not sure it will ever happen again. I am trying to make plans to see her sometime in the fall. I know I will have to make arrangements to go to her. I am going to work hard on it. I miss her so much. We will always have great memories. I miss you Bff. 

 

 

 

I've Come Home Again.

 Saturday  02/20/2021

I decided to come back here and actually start over. Or start again. I guess it is all in how you look at it. I have come back several times and tried to do this blog a few times. It never seems to last for me. I get distracted with life and this kind of falls by the wayside yet again. I want that to change. All I can do is try to be different. I know this writing is for me and no one else. No cares to come here. I have tried to use this as a quotes blog to get others to come but no one does. So now I will just use it for my thoughts and feelings. Maybe to heal a bit from the last few years. Time will tell.

Happy Monday June 03, 2019

What can I say? My new journey begins today. My life as I knew it is over. I am in retirement. I have made the decision to do this at age 60 for several reasons. My health is the main reason. And stress and anxiety the other. The job that I have been at for the last 4 almost 5 years changed a lot just in the last year. I won't get into the details. I just know it's time to move forward to be happy and less stressed.

I wish this was me walking to the beach. It has been a few years since I have been to the beach. I do hope to get there sometime in the next few months. The beach is my safe haven and rejuvenating place. I need it. It could be my reboot.

Just a short note. Have a great day.

Monday thoughts



Book Junkie ... that's me.

This is so me.. a book junkie. 

I don't know where i got my love of books.

My mom had very few books.

She did read. But from a very young age I have loved books.

I remember go to the library a lot growing up. 

And I still do. I borrow a lot of books from the library.

But I still have tons of books around here. 

And a kindle fire too.

Yes, i am a self proclaimed book junkie.

I hope to spread the joys of reading on to my grandchild that will be born in October.

I believe reading gives us so much knowledge.

Readers are Dreamers, Doers, and Thinkers.

I wish this was my private Library. 

Monday ... I am not where I want to be.

Can I please work from here? 

My heart longs to be here. 

Someday my soul will be free and resting here forever. 

Until then I will make the best of the days ahead without my love the ocean.

Life goes on.
We work so we can eventually have the Joys we crave.
Soon..

Peace be the Beach ... 

Pain still resides....

Another sleepless night. A lot of pain again with my shoulder. Not being able to get comfortable. Pain shooting from my shoulder down my arm into my fingers. I was up most of the night. I had a pain patch on even used a topical pain cream but could find no relief until finally getting up out of bed and moving around.

So here is another day to tackle. I hopefully will be able to take a short nap later today. 

Currently 6 am. as I type this. Drinking coffee and listening to music on my prime music account. Hope this is a good day and i can get a lot accomplished. Seems once i am up and moving around my shoulder does not bother me as much. But a person does need to rest their body, mind and soul. You can't go forever on 3-4 hours of sleep a night. 

Tomorrow is Monday again. Already. Why do the weekends have to go by so quickly? There is so much to cram into those two days and it's just gone way too fast. I want a 5 day weekend and a 2 day work week. That sounds so much better don't it? Dream on Girl.  Dream on.

Peace Be the Weekend

The weekend is finally here. It seemed to take forever for it to come. Another long work week. And I truly just want to run away. Far away. This would be the perfect place. My home the beach. I want to just sit in the warm sun. Listen to the waves crashing on the shore. The bird as they frolic in the sky. And my heart as it beats with joy being so close to heaven. 

But it's another weekend in Iowa. What to do? Be lazy for sure. I may take a drive to town and browse the second hand stores. Not sure yet. No definite plans. Soon it will be football season and the games will be my focus. Hopefully I won't be working every Saturday by then. Such is life. Fall will be here sooner than we know it. I love fall season. Perfect time of year. 

Peace be the Beach for Me...
