Ever have an intense feeling wash over you? Makes you wonder where it came from and why. At the same time it tugs at the corners of your mouth and pulls your heart strings.
I just had one of those. It was a "WOW - I'm really grateful I am who I am. I am thankful having made decisions that most always work in my favour. Everything I touch turns to gold."
Ok, so it doesn't turn to gold...But I think you get the drift. Life hasn't always been easy and not all my choices have been good ones. Even when they weren't though everything seems to work out in the end. In the face of adversity I have persevered. At the base of a challenge I have climbed unabated.
WOW - I am quite full of myself today. Well, so be it. I'm allowed, albeit publicly humble (who said this blog was public?)
Someone recently told me that I must have a guardian angel, or a lucky star. Maybe they are right. Perhaps someone, or something out there has greater plans for me than even I can fathom.
Then again maybe it's just a little common sense; or having faith, confidance and self belief; or even a desire to want good things - for me and for others.....Whatever it is I've got that feeling and I'm embracing it.

Today's stuff
Just so you know, before I even get started, things aren't quite right with me today. It's a culmination of sickness, being a woman during that 'time' and the world gone freaking crazy. Not me, no. I'm completely sane. It's everyone and everything else that's gone bonkers.
Things that bug me...
1) When someone is tasked to do a job but they only do half of it, or even just parts of it and then the rest is left to you to complete. Honestly, how can you say you did the job when you didn't? Then, I guess, perhaps, it only matters to me because it obviously does NOT matter to you that you didn't do your job.
2) Angry, bitter people. You know them. The guy at work who hates the world and everything in it but it's everyone elses fault but his. Here you are all happy, whistling, humming, chair dancing in your seat and he's sitting there glaring at you and bitching to all his buddies about how annoying you are. Seriously? Get over yourself and be happy about something, heck - ANYTHING - for a change. Am I really ruining your life by whistling a happy tune?
3) "Send me an email and we'll get to it when we can". I'm a planner. What, exactly are planning people supposed to do with that?? Even moreso, how do I explain that to a client??
4) People who don't RSVP. Ok, so I haven't planned anything worthy of an RSVP as of late, but this is one that will always get me. I understand, perhaps you aren't a planner, but at some point you know what you'll be doing that Saturday night. And if you truly don't? At the very least you RSVP with a 'maybe' and make sure to only show up when it's a free for all (like not for dinner, or if there's a specific occupancy or somethin'). I mean really. Either you have no respect whatsoever for other peoples time and efforts they put in to planning something fun for you; or you are just waiting in case something better comes along - which is just rude frankly. I mean it's an RSVP - I even asked politely. The very least you can do is respond - somehow/someway!
5) And while on the topic of non-comittal people...When you commit to a TEAM sport, you commit to the team. It's not about you. You want 'ME' time? Do it on a day when you have not committed to the TEAM. Look up the definition of commitment - seriously. You aren't letting yourself down when you break the commitment. Or are you?
6) Zits. Seriously, I'm 33 years old (will be 34 in a little over a month). I mean really WTF? Life is cruel.
And lastly..
7) Pants that don't stay up. I'm not a small girl, I have curves that things can hug. But noooooo....
Things I like:
1) Laughing
2) Loving
3) Living - even with the things that bug me!
4) Being me
Stephie out!
