Got Nature?

It's so easy to take things for granted, to look at things that are always there and not really notice them.  Sometimes our lives are so busy, we move from work to home to chores to bed and forget there's more out there.

Like this flock of geese
honking noisily .......






I've been guilty of that for more than a month. It's much easier to walk Sadie around the neighborhood than hop in the car and head for our favorite park.  But we miss out on so much when we take the easy way out!

Even on a cloudy day, the sun breaks through and shines a bit of evening light on the pond.....





Golden Ball Lead Tree, they have a dreamy scent to me, light and elusive at times.











and of course,  #AzSadieThePug!

she just LOVES going to this park

and we walked for an hour!

"In every walk with nature, 

one receives far more than he seeks."

-John Muir

Nope, Never

This quote would be filed under "been there, done that" for me.  But its odd... even though I did marriage and then divorce three times, i still fell under the spell of someone who was a bad relationship for me.  Why do we keep repeating our same mistakes??  Is it because we truly don't believe our own worth?  We all have doubts from time to time, but enough of the time to keep repeating mistakes?  *sigh*  it's easier to choose to be alone most of the time.  

It's thoughts like these that make me wonder....  I signed myself up on a dating site again.  And have been sending messages back and forth with a few, to get to know them.  But damn... the pickin's seem slim!   I'll be updating you on some of them, if anything goes beyond a few chit chats back and forth :)

In the meantime, Wednesday is over... the weekend will be here soon! 

Be happy, and go out there, find something - or someone!!!- fun to do! 

*laughs* 

Crush it!

How many of us tell ourselves "Someday I'll ..... (fill in your own blank)."

I've ranted about this before. 

I hate the word someday.

Why not now????

Here are a few quotes I found about crushing your "someday" thinking:

“Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. 

They somehow already know what you truly want to become. 

Everything else is secondary.” 

– Steve Jobs

 “Make today worth remembering.” – Zig Ziglar

”Twenty years from now 

you will be more disappointed 

by the things that you didn’t do

than by the ones you did do.”

– Mark Twain

 “There are only 7 days in the week; “someday” is not one of them.” ~Rita Chand

“Either you run the day 

or the day runs you..” – Jim Rohn

 ”We all die. 

The goal isn’t to live forever; 

the goal is to create something that does.” 

– Chuck Palahnik

The problem with someday thinking 

is a year from now 

you’ll wish you’d started today.

don't wait for someday..... 

or regrets.

Time is something that you'll never get back.

When this moment is gone, it is gone forever.
