On A Saturday Morning

As I sit here comfy in my bed next to my little Miss K I can't imagine a better way to start out my weekend. She reminds me if how innocent she is, how she doesn't care about anything in the world other than sharing her cinnamon toast crunch with our Boston Terrier.

This is our weekend tradition - dry cereal, cartoons, and snuggles.

Getting divorced has brought perspective to certain things. Things almost seem more difficult now than when we were a family of three.  I could just deal with the issues and take care of K. But when other obstacles come in the way,  there really isn't another choice.

There are so many days that I'm lonely and miss having a partner to help me out. I miss having true adult conversations and not just about daycare or what Christmas gifts K needs.

I truly get that life is complicated but it's only ad complicated as you allow it.  I may not truly believe that you have complete control over your destiny,  but you do have control over some of your happiness.

I have this fantastic chalk board with a barnwood frame in my kitchen.  I make it a goal to write a new quote or inspiring words each day. It's something small but lifts my spirits to acknowledge that life will get better eventually.... It just takes time. So, my quote,  "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens ME."

Stay strong and enjoy the view!

True Happiness

If I actually had real followers on here I might get some feedback on what truly makes you happy? Think about it......how many people can honestly say they are TRULY happy. And if you say, "Yes" I want to know your secret. Everyone has a bad day or two or a shitty situation that they wished they hadn't had to go through. But I do believe there are really, actual happy people out there, And I used to be one of them, Or maybe I was just young and naive at the time as well. The paths we take, the experiences we make, and the people we meet will all contribute to happiness. But I also think that there are too many people out there who aren't happy but aren't willing to take the steps to find out what it is that is making them unhappy and then make the change. For my instance, I have been jumping from job to job thinking that I was missing out on utilizing my creativity that I love so much.  I didn't like the daily task of data entry and poor work environment...

How's My Wave?

As I was driving back from Minneapolis after picking up friends from the airport at 6AM, I was trying to stay awake and read the billboards as I was making the treck up to wonderful Moorhead Minnesota. There really isn't anything amazing to look at besides words on signs after Fergus Falls. However, as I neared Barnsville, and noting (only 30 more miles) a sign on the left side of the I-94 caught my attention. There was Cenex sign, with a 3-D Cenex man waving at those passing by with a speech bubble " How's my waving?" And then a number followed 1-877-CHAT. Now, I have no idea what the purpose of this billboard is. I have been contemplating this for the entire weekend. Is it brand recognition? A friendly hello? The billboard itself isn't selling anything, but it does catch the drivers eye. Whoever designed this billboard was creative, but I'm still confused as to what the object of this billboard is. Do they really want people to call and 'chat...
