Amazing how the time has flown by since my last blog back in January! Everyone's time is so limited these days between investing in their family, investing in relationships, investing in their job, investing in the economy... wait... that's a bad idea! So many of my close friend's jobs are at stake these days, including my own. So, how do we overcome that? When you know the answer let me know. That's major stuff that's in everyone's head these days... and not just my own.
So, here we are, another day in which I find myself at least trying to enjoy the small stuff. Every day I ask my children "What happened today that made you laugh?" Wow, I get some pretty random answers to that one: answers range from "nothing at all" (which I have those days as well!) to the one I got yesterday. It was from my daughter (who happens to be turning 7 today) whose answer was this: "Keifer spelled his name with macaroni and cheese at lunchtime!" She was rolling at this. Why can't adult life be so simple?
So, my point is to challenge yourself to ask the same question - let's see what your answers might be. Enlighten us all. If you can't think of anything at all, perhaps we should all take a step backwards and do a checklist of "what IS making me happy these days?" Then if you still can't think of anything then just go to lunch and spell your name with a heaping helping of macaroni and cheese! Might just work.

My child pretty much makes me laugh everyday, but I wanted to share this conversation in particular from election day...
ReplyDeleteKendall: Mom did you know we have a new president?
Me: We do?
Kendall: Yes,we watched him on TV today and he's brown like me and his name is Rock Obama.
I know what you mean. My son cracks me up. I love it.
ReplyDeleteAs for the economy and jobs......it would help if our president and vice-president didn't go on tv daily and talk down the economy. It is sad that we've found ourselves in this position.
The good thing for me is that i've been "un-employed" for 10 years now....i wake up everyday and go looking for a job!!!! I'm a musician!! Ha! ha! ha!
With Love, Kevin
