Is it worth it?

OK folks, when do say when?   Many couples find themselves in relationships well past their expiration dates out of comfort, convenience, and or the fear of being alone. The list of excuses NOT to leave an unhappy relationship or even worse, marriage is looong (I've been there myself).

What I have discovered in recent years, and this may be  to some, but life does exist outside of these toxic and draining people!  Your heart heals, your list of new friends tends AND your wallet seems to grow after saying ta-ta to Mr/Mrs Wrong.  A break up or divorce can be the end of the world, is completely devastating in most cases but it is in fact a situation that heals itself in time and DOES get better (if you want it to of course).  After the trauma of it all subsides, sweep up the pieces of your broken heart, discover a new hobby or get back in to an old one and consider it a fresh start to YOUR new life.

unbelievable

The purpose of this entry is not to persuade you in to a break up or have you  walk away from something that could be terrific with some minor effort, I'm merely sharing the idea that if you ARE unhappy it doesn't have to be that way.  Life is too short to spend it with someone whom you find yourself in constant friction with.

I am living, breathing proof that life after love and repeated self inflicted heart ache (I tend to care too much about people that I matter too little to) does exist and it's MAGNIFICENT.

Today's lesson: YOU - Drama = Happiness

Back in the saddle

"IT'S NOT HOW OFTEN OR HOW HARD WE FALL OFF, BUT RATHER HOW QUICKLY WE GET BACK ON.  HOW WE TURN IT AROUND.  HOW WE ONCE AGAIN PRACTICE OUR WELLNESS.  Let the 'bad' things go and show your true tenacity by stepping back into your good routine IMMEDIATELY.  Then celebrate your amazing ability to live life the FULLEST and HEALTHIEST."


Above text clipped from one of my favorite reads: http://corehore.blogspot.com/ <--Nancy is a personal trainer here in Las Vegas and boy she is rock solid in all respects, personal, professional, and of course physical.

Though Nancy's blog is typically geared towards health and fitness, two things I inadvertently seem to avoid like the plague, her words from this post seem to stick with me so I thought I'd pass them along.

Whether it's a stumble, a trip, or a fall flat on your face, pick yourself up, dust yourself off and keep going. Ponder away.

Good things come to those who wait..

Patience is certainly not my virtue and I am the last to appreciate the goodness that comes from waiting, however the old saying is in fact true.

 The irony in this theory is that the older we get, the less amount of time we have, but yet the more patient we become? Interesting thought for you to ponder..

Be patient, make plans, set attainable goals (small to start if you're overwhelmed  by the big picture like I tend to be), sit back, relax and enjoy the ride...

There are in fact stupid questions

My favorite quote today is: "Common sense isn't very common".

Whatever your education level may be, I feel it is the school system's job to engrain in our minds that the "real world" does not have patience for stupid questions and the oh so popular, "my dog at my homework" excuses. At least my high school and now LIFE have taught me that you can casually forget key things, not read through thoroughly or blatantly lie about things in life but there are typically repercussions that come along with it.


Perhaps we as humans have adapted ourselves to completely fear commitment in any form therefore making lease agreements, car purchases, and other hefty commitments seem scary forcing us to revert back to our childlike ways of thinking. If I ignore it or play stupid it will work itself or maybe even go away completely!


PEOPLE, get it together and grow up. Life is hard, commitments are everywhere and we must learn to own up to our responsibilities as adults.

You CAN choose your family

It's very simple, those with a large family may not understand but friends are family that you CHOOSE to be and stay in your life.

With that being said, I'm one lucky gal ;)

No need to be a jerk-off

People, lets get one thing clear: If you are going to be rude, you're going to get rudeness in return, just sayin.

I've been hung up on by the same ass wipe 3 times this morning. This gem of our society keeps calling to speak to my associate (who has been busy since she walked in the door this AM), and hangs up on me each time I tell him she's busy.. Until the 4th phone call.

He called, AGAIN, and I had the pleasure of telling him she's busy, getting his call back number and hanging up on HIM!

Ahhhh the simple pleasures in life.

Lesson today, DON'T BE A JERK OFF
