Dear Patience, where are you?

I'm a control freak. I've let go quite a bit over the years, but I still like to have some control over every aspect of my life. I'm not sure if that's from my childhood, just the way it's supposed to be, or a product of my environment? Regardless..... It is what it is. I know this about myself and most days I'm ok with it. Other days I'm consumed with controlling things in my life that really and not control ABLE. Things that require time, patience, and due course. Things that no one else is controlling, save God. I know good things are worth the wait. But we don't really realize that until they come to fruition. You look back and say "that was so worth it!" Of course you're going to say that.....NOW you have what you want and everything else is in the past. This waiting part is the worst. I can't do anything to hurry the situation. And that, my friends, is agony some days.

So today I pray for patience. The calm to know that everything is working out the way it's supposed to. The serenity to know that, what will be what will be. To just be able to say "Que sera sera". Wait. I feel a song coming on.....................LMAO! Well at least I can still laugh at my silliness. I think rushing things wouldn't be a good idea anyway but today I would like a crystal ball to just take a little peak into the future to see how it all works out.

An THAT is where it's at today. So as a remedy I'm going to keep myself super busy.Blog, breakfast, elliptical, shower, wrapping presents, cleaning,lunch, visit a friend to get a book (that I'm sure I need), groceries, kids from school,supper,maybe a game.................. All with really LOUD music! hehehe

This picture could be me today, minus the frown and the baby. Add an extra martini! LOL
Thanks for letting me rant about stuff you have no idea about. It does help.

A new post

Christmas season is upon us. A skiff of snow so far but I AM starting to get into the spirit a little. I'm not sure what the trigger is that gets me there but lately it's been slow to arrive. I'm going to start decorating today. I guess I'm trying to force the issue a little. If it's around me, I'll feel it.

That's as far as I got with this post. I put up a wreath and two ornaments on the fireplace. TONS of decorating. LOL

Started listening to Christmas music tonight and I had to turn it off. I would rather listen to sappy love songs than Christmas music right now. WOW!  I will get there eventually but, apparently not tonight.

So far this post is taking 3 days to write. Not motivated at all. Last night we got a lot of snow. It's actually quite beautiful but I could do with a picture just as well. ;)  I must say it HAS put me into a Christmas mood and I am going to put up more decorations today. We're having a company for supper, so I will definitely decorate the table too.

Starting to get the tummy back that I lost this summer. BOOOOO! I don't want it back, thank you very much. It's hard in this small town in the winter. There's not even really anywhere to GO! In the summer when I was bored, I would hop on my bike and go. Keeping me out of the house is a good thing because that's when I snack. Easy access and boredom are two of my enemies when it comes to weight loss. I'm aware of that. Even if I could go walk around a mall, it would be better than staying in all day every day. But alas, that is an hour away. And with this snow?.........no way. So on the agenda today is shoveling snow, getting groceries for supper tonight, elliptical, mopping the floor, vacuuming,decorating, all things keeping me busy.

they still fit but for how much longer?

And with that; I shall end and publish this scatterbrained post.Time to get busy! Thanks for checking in! ~later!
Some great Christmas songs on here too. So turn up your speakers and get into the Christmas spirit. Maybe then , it will rub off on me!? ;)
