Today’s Challenge: Stay safe, but don’t let scary things keep you from living your life.
Yesterday, I learned of another random shooting in my area. Then last night, there was a tornado close by, and there is more severe weather moving in tonight.
… makes me want to stay home until this craziness passes… And my best friend, who lives in another state, is begging me not to leave the house until they catch the sniper. I told her that I had too much to do, but assured her I’d check in daily.
Even though I’m not going to stop living my life, this serial shooter is on my mind while I’m running errands and walking my dog.
I cry for the victims and I’m angry that somebody is killing people and terrorizing our community. Thankfully the FBI has joined the team and hopefully they will catch this person before he/she can hurt anybody else.
So…
If your weather is good and you don’t have a crazy person running around your neighborhood, consider yourself fortunate and have a great weekend. 🙂
I’m going to have a great weekend, too! 🙂
Today’s Challenge: Take some deep breaths.
Today’s Challenge: Get social. Make plans with somebody this week and get out of the routine. Shake things up. Have a little fun! 🙂
Gosh, I’m going through so many crazy changes… Some I’m excited about, some make me sad, but it’s what this amazing life is all about. During these times of change I know how easy it is to isolate–I’ve done it. I usually use the excuse that I’m too busy with writing and work to make time with friends. But in truth, sometimes I just want to be alone. Being an introvert, time alone is how I recharge my batteries. But I can see that too much time alone can also drain energy and happiness. Finding that balance is key. So if it’s been awhile since you called a friend to have coffee or lunch, maybe it’s time to reach out. Your friend just might need a friend, too. 🙂

Today’s Challenge: Don’t turn your feelings inward against yourself or you could end up with depression.
Today’s Challenge: Look through your old pictures and memories.
I recently went through hard times with somebody I love. I was also in the process of spring cleaning and organizing.
When I came across boxes of old pictures and memories, I slowed down enough to reminisce.
I cried. I laughed. I took pictures of pictures and text them to my sisters. ( I like that rhyme 🙂 )
I separated my memories into three separate boxes: family, friends, and my own personal accomplishments.
It was good for me. I was reminded of my accomplishments, good friends, and loving family. I thought about past loves, family and friends in heaven, and lost dreams.
Going through my past felt like a type of meditation; I blocked out everything but the treasured memories I held on to.
And I learned that no matter what problems I go through with people I love, I will never forget the good times we shared or the positive impact they had on my life.
Today’s Challenge: Do first what will get you to your goal.
