Dear Abby,

DEAR ABBY: How do you mend a broken heart? -- TEARS ON MY PILLOW


DEAR TEARS: By staying busy. By avoiding the "old reminders," which tend to make you moody and broody. By putting away or getting rid of the photographs, cards and gifts that make you sad -- unless you enjoy punishing yourself. And by staying in the present.

Venting - this has nothing to do with being positive

This is from an article I am reading....it just reminded me of my life......


“I just want to get to a place with someone where I can coast,” he says.
I say, “What do you mean, ‘coast’?”
He says, “You know, not go from crisis to crisis. Just kind of exist together.”
I say, “But you always have to evolve. You have to struggle through tough moments and hold tight during the good ones. Sometimes you can coast, but you can’t get to a place and then coast.”
He says, “You’ve misunderstood me. Of course, I think you need to evolve. I just mean not everything has to be such a struggle.”
I say, “I agree,” but for the rest of our relationship I will remember that word, “coast.” And every time he avoids an argument or refuses to discuss something with me, I will think, Why didn’t I coast out while I could?

July 4th

July 4th is my FAVORITE holiday.  
happy 4th of July
What I'm not telling you is that I have a very good reason to LOVE July 4th!  Yesterday was my 29th birthday and it was one of the best I've had in a long time!  I had friends come in town just to hang out with me ALL weekend : )  Sunday clay and I got up and kayaked to red bud isle from downtown.  The weather was almost perfect.  My only bark was having to paddle into the wind on the way back, but at least there was wind.  After that we bbq'ed with friends.  The food was wonderful, thanks to me having nothing to do with cooking it and clay doing it all.  We even had cupcakes and a cake decorated with blueberries and strawberries to look like a flag (thank you Tracy).

I have a lot to be thankful for.....

Celebrity Gossip

0 comments
Have I mentioned that I am also addicted to celebrity gossip?  I wouldn't say it's unhealthy, but I do like to keep up with it on a daily basis.  I will say that I have nothing in common with any of these people.  I do not like to shop.  I don't get dressed (makeup and hair) unless I have somewhere to go.  Even then, sometimes I am REALLY lazy.  I really just prefer to throw on some clothes and not judge myself on how I look or feel in those clothes.  In fact, I would prefer to just not look in a mirror at all!  
So what is it that drives me to read all of this CRAP?...no idea! 

I have read polls that show when women read about and look at overly glammed, super skinny women it makes them feel worse about themselves or become depressed (glamour.com).  I'm not sure I agree with this though.  In the recent past, I realized that most of the pictures on these websites are photoshopped (even if they say they aren't) and these girls are NOT the norm.  But, I am not the skinniest person, and I think looking and reading about these people is not a bad thing for me.  In fact, the only bad I would say comes from this is sitting on my butt while doing it.  However, I'm going to try to cut back an not read gossip EVERY day of my life! After all, I'm not depressed and don't want to be in the future. = )
