Top Ten...Okay, Eight

I know you've seen many different TOP TEN lists (TOP TEN THINGS MEN WISH WOMEN WOULD STOP ASKING THEM, TOP TEN THINGS WOMEN WISH MEN KNEW BUT DON'T...) Well this isn't one of those lists...heck it isn't even an actual list of TEN. And even though it's not exactly TEN, sometimes you come across things that resonate with you...things that are worthy of a list. Whether these things are from an experience you had first hand or something that's told to you...no matter how you get the knowledge, it's worthy of remembering. 

So as with most things that I think might be helpful to others, I feel like I shouldn't keep them to myself. Yes, I know how to keep a secret but in this case, I'm telling...

TOP EIGHT LIST OF THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND
  1. Don't settle for anything less than what you deserve. Know your worth.
  2. No one is worth compromising your self worth, morals or feelings.
  3. If someone wants to spend time with you or  talk to you - they will. No one is always THAT busy to be TOO busy. People make time for who and what they want.
  4. Stop trying to please everyone. You will only succeed in neglecting yourself.
  5. Quit trying to control things that are out of your control.
  6. Quit trying to be perfect. Just be real.
  7. Stop accepting less. (was worth saying again)
  8. Life is shorter than you think. So live your life, appreciate your life and stop measuring your life.
Leave me a comment or send me an email  if you have any to add to the list. Who knows, maybe we can grow this list to an actual TEN.

Oscar Chronicles - All By Myself

  Hola, mis amigos. I'm not going to ask if you missed me because - well, I already know you did. But more than that, I'm not going to ask because I'm sad, angry and hungry. Okay, perhaps I'm always interested in some snacks...Anyway, your Oscar is sad. Why? Is because a couple of weeks ago mi persona favorito decided to remodel his room. No really! He took all of the things out of the room - even my bed! At first I was angry thinking that he was kicking me out! He even took down his posters and emptied his closet! But then I started seeing him bringing some stuff back. Several pairs of his zapatos, some shirts and chaquetas. Some things he even put in the basura! Things that were too small or too old - you know how they do, right? So yes,  A MAJOR CLEANING. His room was like SUPER CLEAN.  He and his Papa also bought in new stuff. New zapatos, shirts, pants. The new stuff he put into a new bag. Nice! Good storage. It even has wheels!! So he can move it around a lot easi...

Being Strong Is Not for the Weak

Sometimes you may get tired and fed up. I mean come on, life has a way of testing you…and I mean way worse than any pop quiz you might have had. Sometimes the test starts small. Broke a nail after a fresh manicure? Hit your shin on the corner of the bed? (ouch). Then maybe it ramps up to you dropping your brand new cell phone face down on the pavement…while trying to put on the screen protector. Ugh! That sucks, right? Then there are household bills...sure you have some, right?  Yeah, they eat away a good chunk of your paycheck but you’re managing. Then a major appliance dies…then some shingles fall off your roof.. Sucks but ok. It seems like one thing after another after another. Sigh... but somehow you’re standing strong and making do, holding on. And then…car issues start happening…flat tires, brakes need replacing and then transmission blows! What?!! But you’ve got to be strong right? You’re an adult and you can and have to deal with these things. You can manage, right? Yeah? ...

Oscar Chronicles - How 'bout a drink?

  Hola! I'm not going to ask you that silly ques-okay so I AM going to ask... Did you miss your Oscar favorito? Claro! How could you not? Have you been enjoying the summer? It's been soooooo hot but I don't mind, usually - except for the times when I'm thirsty. Like the otra day. I was outside enjoying some time in the sun -  mi familia was outside making delicious meat treats on the cooking box. And of course they had to share some with their precious Oscar:). Ohh they were sooooo good! They made sure I had plenty all to myself! Little while later, mi familia got too hot so they went into the casa. Well, it was very hot...even I was a bit warm so I went in, too. I thought I'd go get a drink of water to cool down. Besides, all those delicious meat treats made me thirsty. So I go into the room to get mi agua. As I'm walking to my bowl, I notice mi familia laying on the comfy chair drinking icy cold drinks. This made me even MORE thirsty so now I'm RUNNING to ...
