Note to self: Don’t think too much…it really won’t change anything…and that’s only YOU getting in the way of your journey to joy. STOP! BREATHE. HAVE FAITH.

(I promised to keep it short. And a promise is a promise after all)

(Love this novel! This is my 2nd time reading it. If you want a uniquely, funny story of love and friendship that will literally make you laugh out loud…buy it. It also makes you want to dress like a flapper and dance the Charleston. Just a warning)

(My very 1st time at the Circus! It’s pretty amazing what these performers can do…I mean how many of us can walk on the ceiling?! Crazy! The elephants and tigers are entertaining…oh my!…but my favorite animal act had to be the poodles. You’d have to see to understand)

(Some messages I received this week, that I feel are worth all of us remembering)

(She’s a blessing every day…counted twice. My running buddy & my companion. Unconditional love whenever I need it! This week we had quite a few dates)

(Leaving Orlando was hard and there are many people I left behind that I miss daily. it was a treat to have one of them come and visit this weekend! And she even brought my sweet puppy niece Coco! Thanks Megan!)

(I actually LOVE spending Friday night babysitting. Wouldn’t you?)

(This morning at mass Father Bernie did a wonderful sermon on using our talents that God entrusted us with to touch others. He specifically referenced writing and I know I could and should be giving more of myself. So I’m going to continue using my free time wisely, doing research for my writing projects)

This week remember….

If you contribute to other people’s happiness you will find the true goal, the true meaning of life – Dali Lama
