Look Forward

Another Sunday and my eyes popped open at 3:40 am, so I got up and went to work.  Good thing, there was plenty to be taken care of!  When Elvis arrived, he said "good thing you came in, I thought we were going to run out of room!"  (Not sure how that'd be possible -- he's have to work at warp speed ... and he doesn't!)  But.  Lots done and out of the way.  The next two weeks will be busy for sure. 

After work, I had to stop and fill up the tank.  With prices dropping, $40 filled 'er up, and I got Bianca  washed as well.  Not sure why I did that, rain is predicted for today!  Of course we all know that if I didn't get it washed, it wouldn't rain, and if I did... of course it will, right?   hahaha  Murphy gets ya every time :)

After that, I stopped at Starbucks and got a Venti Green Tea Frap with my gift card, because I love them.  Back at home, I was on a roll, and wiped down Bianca's inside windows, and the door wells (amazing how much dust and dirt accumulates there!)  Its also laundry day, vacuuming day, and a host of other things if I get the hankering to keep on keeping on.   But a nap is sounding better and better all the time :)

12:30 on 12/30 .... and I realize just how close we are to ending the year.  It was a year of one really big disappointment for me; but on the other hand, because of that, I spent three long weekend with my parents.  Being over 50 tells me that I should treasure every moment that I can spend with them.  So I guess in the long run, it balanced out.  Maybe that was the universe's way of telling me to pay attention to something important.  It is my hope, my plan, to do three more trips in the upcoming year to see my folks.  But my BigBox store may have a thing or two to say about the timing of them.

With my beach trip, and three trips to see the folks, that's a well planned upcoming year!  It's nice to have things to look forward to!  What are you looking forward to this year?  Have you given it a thought or two?  If not, you should!

Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes.

Don't resist them - that only creates sorrow.

Let reality be reality.  

Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.
