Today is the first day of the rest of my life....what do I want?
I want to have a clear direction...
I want to move to Albuquerque New Mexico and begin anew. I am not running from anything, but rather to something....to a different perspective.
Have you ever tried to balance a budget? People give the politicians a hard time because there is always a deficit. How many people actually stuck to the 'plan' and have not bounced a check, or made a late payment or are even in serious debt? So lay off the politicians.... I forgot to write down one payment and almost spent the money on another item. Dang! (the immortal word of Friend).
Nothing deep today. It takes time to calm the brain and find something worthy of retrospect or insight...I haven't got that time at this moment....

"Today is the first day of the rest of your life".
How many times have YOU heard that line? I hear it everytime I tell my Pop about a particularly bad day. I find myself saying this to my daughter as she flounders in her newfound adulthood status. It's hard to explain - the past is just that - The Past. It's over, it cannot be retrieved or changed. Begin with now. You may have to make some amends or apologies or whatever term you use for fixing the mistakes of the past.

What a great weekend! I discovered that because my husband works on Saturdays, I fill my Saturday - maybe so I don't feel guilty?
Saturday I met my sister at the Los Angeles Airport (9:00a-PST) when she picked her daughter up after Caitlan spent two weeks in Amarillo with her Dad. After eating breakfast at McDonalds, my son and I headed farther North to visit (10:30a) my mom and my brother's son. We spent a few hours catching up while my son and my nephew played videos games. After a trip to McDonald's for lunch, Son and I then headed out to Ontario (1:45p) to visit one of my best friends. I arrived to find her putting a second color on her recently dyed (to even out the color) tresses. She and her neighbor were attempting to add highlights, but instead they managed to make her hair look just like it did before they had begun to color it. We had a great laugh about that. One more drive to head home (4:15p), stopping to pick up Daughter who was caught up in her teenage drama, so she could care for Son while Spouse and I visited one more set of friends, up in Fullerton, for a batrbecue. That adventure involved a keg of beer, a pool table and the best carne asada I've had in a while! We got home at 11:00p. That was Saturday for me.
Sunday I had a goal - to find the skateboard trucks and make room in the garage for Spouse's truck. I accomplished both goals and I am ready for the work week!
A co-worker is leaving for her new home in Nevada on Friday, so Wednesday a group of us will be taking her to lunch. I haven't decided where or what time yet, but I am working on that.
It's been a long weekend. I can sleep well knowing I make good use of it. Next weekend....slacker city!
