Let's Exercise!

Hey! It's been a minute since I chatted with you guys, so I thought we could jump back in with a little exercise! Yay!!
Now come on - don't be like that. A little exercise never hurt anyone..okay perhaps these people might have gotten hurt:
 
 But that's NOT the type of exercise I mean. Close your eyes - WAIT! You can't read if your eyes are closed. Hmm ok so keep your eyes open and picture the one person who makes you smile. That one person who you just can't wait to see, be around, call, text, whatever...(Bet you're grinning already). See, that person didn't even have to be around - you didn't call them, you didn't text them - all you did was think about them and now you're grinning.

How do they do it? How do they make you smile like a Cheshire cat? Maybe it's a shared memory between the two of you or maybe it's the way their eyes light up, full on sparkle when they see you. Or the way your stomach flutters and flips when you think of them...that one time they walked towards you and you suddenly got excited and nervous (Oh YES! I know that feeling oh so well, LOL) And because they have this effect on you, you are suddenly reminded of them at random times, by random things. Like what? Well, how about if you're in the mall and someone walks past you wearing the very same cologne/perfume that they wear? Or you hear a cellphone ringtone that sounds exactly like theirs or the one you have saved for them when they call you? 

Ok so now you have a good image of them in your mind, right? You can see their face? Almost smell their cologne/perfume? Yeah? Great! Now imagine that person is now giving all those smiles to someone else...OUCH, right?! You know why this happened? Because you took them and their smile inducing abilities for granted. You didn't appreciate those smiles and if you did, you failed to let them know - through words and or actions - how special they were to you. 

Now go and make sure they know they are special to you. Call them. Text them. Tell them. Show them. Thank them. Yes, that's right, thank them. For what? For the opportunity to be with them. For the you that you are because of them. Do it today before you have to face a forever of tomorrows without them.

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 ...

Cast Off

Letting go isn't always an easy thing.  It is most times, well, a necessary thing...of course necessary has nothing to do with easy.  How many of you are currently in a relationship? No, not with chocolate or alcohol but an actual relationship with another person? They text you or call you every day several times a day...you're making plans to see them before you even finish with one date...you miss them when your time together for that date is drawing to an end...you see them walking towards you and you can't help but smile, waiting for that hug, that kiss...you have so much fun with them you can't imagine them not being around... Fun stuff right? (Ok well most of the time it is - if not, get out but that's a post for another time)  Ok so for all the currently boo'd up readers, is this your first relationship? Hmm, I'm guessing probably not - at least for most anyway. So at some point you were head over heels for someone else. Each day you woke up excit...
