Sinkholes

There are folks in this world that just seem to suck the life out of you...if you let them. I told VerDell...they were human sinkholes! Folks who will never be happy no matter what you pour into'um. Then there are the "Suckwads" the aggressive sinkholes that just reach out and suck you in. Beware of things that suck...blow in their face and keep on going...they hate to be "blown off"...but sometimes you have to. Word.

Old Farts

This may be way too much information...and if so...stop reading. NOW.

Okay, for those of you still with me, I have to say, some of the best moments in life are shared with Friends ARound the Table. 

I was telling Mr. Pat about our fine weekend...all the fun and all the laughs he missed. I also shared, how I had to leave the room because laughing so hard was forcing me into a socially unacceptable situation. (and I hope you are not catching my drift) 

He didn't bat an eye as he came up with this acronym...inspiring me to design and our first Friendly Village Teena-Shirt.

Oh...there's another...but it's private.  

I hope you all have Friends ARound the Table...young and old.

Get Use - 2- It

There are just some things in life that you have to get used to and some that merit undoing or redoing, the trick is to figure out which is worthy of your time and energy and which you just decide to live with.

Excuse me....

I was just reading an inspirational post from "Queen of Your Own Life" when this sentence caught my eye,

  There's no good that comes from crushing others.

 I can't say why, but it just  brought out the Queen of Mean in me, 'cause there are some folks I would just like to squash like a bug. 

Rude, eyerollin' people, condesendin uppity folk, argumentative-close-minded folks, just to list a few.

Then there are the drivers I feel should be run down.  You know'um -  horn honkin' textin' fools.  Don't get me started on them. 

If I had had this vehicle earlier today...I feel much good could have been done.  There...I feel better now.

Lady Dosumpin'

It is my lot in life...I fancy myself a fixer, a mediator, a righter
"Lady Dosumpin"....Majesty of Justice...at your service.


The other day I found something I wrote...and while I don't have it in front of me just now...it went something like this.

It is not my job to have something to say,

My job to let you say what you need to hear.

I need to remind myself of this, I need to read it often.

I don't always have to be doin' to fix
I don't always have to have an opinion
Sometimes just sittin' and listenin' is the fix.

Illusion

We all have them...some in the form of a smile, some more like an "attitude".  What ever the form -  they serve a purpose. 

It is important to learn when it is appropriate to let it be and when to "adjust" it a tad.

Go, Be & Do....Your Name Here

VerDell and I once went to a cooking class where we met this incredibly witty older lady. At the end of the night, she presented us with her "card", a colorful Pokey-dot high gloss number that I thought represented her to a T.   I no longer have the card, but I have never forgotten her energy...or the sassy red convertible she drove away in.
 
Not long ago I started thinking about her...and took it as an insight that I too should have a card....heck we all should have a card. 

So this one's for you....simply print and fill in the blank...or have one printed up. It matters not....just .....Go Be and Do!
