I guess my weekend started on Friday because I didn’t teach. I spent the day with my dearest friend and her husband. Tim and I sat in the waiting room of the hospital while Karen was in Surgery. I’m not a person that tosses the word hate around but I can tell you I hate cancer and all that goes with it. Karen’s surgery went well, she was in the hands of some great doctors. She had ask that I not come back after the surgery because she didn’t know how she would be. I over ruled her because I knew she wouldn’t even remember me being there. I was right she vaguely remembers talking to me. I just needed to see her face, put my heart at ease so I knew she was ok. Karen has a long road ahead but she will make it and those days she can’t I’ll prop her up and walk for her. We have been through so much together over the past 16 years this cancer thing will not stop us now.
After checking in on her Saturday Greg and I went to pick up a few pieces we saw advertised on estatesales.net we got there late so the pickings where thin. No treasure for Blue Happy Living this weekend. Although Greg found a set of drinking glasses for his bar and that made him Blue Happy. I have to admit I wasn’t really into the sales this weekend my heart and head was still with Karen back at the hospital. Estate sales are like a roller coaster your up then down and back up again. Some weekends you spend as much as you are willing to dish out and others you can’t give money away cause there is nothing to buy. Next weekend is another chance to bag a good deal.
Saturday late afternoon I was so tired but was thrilled I had a chance to spend it with my sweet grandson. I just love him so much and he was just what I needed to lift my spirits. Ethan was so excited to come with me and……….well I can’t tell why just yet you can read my blog later this week to find out. Ever sense Ethan was about 18 months old he has had this train that he would ride on and push himself around my house. He clearly is to big for it now so I had promised the next time he came over I would take him for a new ride, and that we did. I had a blast with him riding up and down the sidewalk in my neighborhood. He loved it! We finished off the night with dinner at a great Italian place and home to watch Paw Patrol on the mini pad in bed. He was fast a sleep by 8:30. I was next, off to bed to get some healing sleep.
I could careless about the supper bowl but I went to a party anyway even though my dear Cowboys weren’t in the fight. It was good food, poker, great friends and of course fantastic commercials. They never disappoint with those super bowl commercials. I’m so tired still, I can’t seem to get enough rest. I’m motivated by my dreams and fight to keep my eyes open so I don’t miss a minute or an opportunity to move forward. Being tired makes me feel alive because that tired feeling lets me know I’m working hard. I’ve been getting up and going to the gym way before the sun comes up in the morning for a month now. When I leave the gym at 7am each morning it is the most powerful feeling that I already worked out. It gives me time to go home and get a few things done at home before I shower and dress for my first class. This is truly like a drug for me I can’t get enough of this feeling. I feel so accomplished everyday.
Working hard to fill your day with positive accomplishments empowers you to do more, to work harder and to have the desire to seize the day, everyday. I encourage you to find what helps you seize the day and do that over and over for a month. I’m pretty sure that you will never give it up you will attack your desires, dreams and passion. What makes you feel empowered? Think about it, post it as a message on this blog. Empower yourself by letting the cat out of the bag so to speak. Have a Blue Happy Monday the best day of the week.
