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

Don't settle for anything less than what you deserve. Know your worth.
No one is worth compromising your self worth, morals or feelings.
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.
Stop trying to please everyone. You will only succeed in neglecting yourself.
Quit trying to control things that are out of your control.
Quit trying to be perfect. Just be real.
Stop accepting less. (was worth saying again)
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.

Puzzle

Sometimes we don't know what we want. Heck, most of the time we barely know what it is we need. So, isn't it amazing then that when we find it, stumble across it or when it finds us, it is basically immediately clear that it is in fact what was needed, what was wanted? Like, say you're putting together a puzzle. Perhaps it's one with oh let's say a thousand pieces (whew that's ALOT) http://clipart-library.com/jigsaw-puzzle.html You start with the edges putting them together and b...

Look before you eat...

Hello folks! This is NOT the Super Bowl party snack post. (check back tomorrow for that one). But it is related to food (smile) This post is a cautionary tale about food - specifically MAKE SURE YOU CHECK YOUR FOOD BEFORE YOU EAT IT! A friend and coworker of mine visited an establishment who was offering FREE bagels today. How wonderful! I really enjoy bagels from this particular restaurant. And who doesn't like. FREE, right?Well, imagine her surprise when she reached into her a bag for delightful wheel of bready goodness and finds a little something extra: The heck is THAT??!?!?!! What do you think this something extra is? (no, I'm not talking about the raisin) Look closely at the top of the bagel. Do you see those tawny colored rope-y looking things? I was hoping it was a piece of the paper bag the company put her FREE bagels in. But honestly, she I both had the same thought - "It looks like strands of WEAVE/BRAID EXTENSIONS!!!" GASP! My buddy was not ...

Deal Me In

A while back, I posted about being held hostage. See, that article was about...well I don't want to go into too much detail in case you haven't had a chance to read it yet (hint hint). Suffice it to say it was about being in a situation you'd rather not be in. Maybe you've been super fortunate not to have found yourself in a situation like that...until now. And who is your hostage taker? Say hello to COVID-19...UGH! This virus has spread so rapidly and doesn't discriminate - everyone is a potential victim or carrier/transmitter. The best way to slow down what has become a pandemic is to limit exposure. To what? Well basically PEOPLE! Schools are closed, most businesses are closed - unless they are essential (hospitals, supermarkets, pharmacies...) restaurants are open but only for takeout or delivery. No movie theater, no malls, no parties. WE are basically on restriction! House arrest without the ankle monitors... If you're married/partnered - ok so maybe ...
