Becoming the best version of yourself

What A Crazy Week – (If you start from last Saturday)

No matter your political leanings, you have to admit it’s been kinda crazy the past few days. Though I didn’t see the severity of what was coming, we all knew this was going to get contentious.

We should care less about what “side” we’re on and more about the way we live our lives – love and compassion and understanding and tolerance. Am I back in kindergarten where I’m having to learn to share and play nice after being the center of the universe for my first 4-5 years?

I KNOW we’re better than this. I watch how loving and kind my grandchildren are because no one has shown them the hate. “That’s MINE!” gets worked out, and generally they get bored with it anyway.

Have you noticed how no one says “I’m sorry” or takes accountability anymore? Have you noticed how entitled everyone seems to think they are?

Take a step back, be grateful, be thankful, be kind and considerate, smile at a stranger, hold a door, let someone cut in line even if you were there first, pay it forward but PLEASE – let’s be better than this.

Put your love glasses on!!

It’s Been A Week – – –

And there’s still a couple of days left?

Firstly – hope everyone had a fun and safe 4th of July. Whether you were with family or friends, enjoying fireworks and burgers, or the view was from your sofa while watching TV, it was very festive.

The weather here in the mountains was perfect (tho’ the mosquitoes were an annoyance) and gatherings were plentiful.

My first of summer time visitors arrive this next week so this past week has been focused on “getting ready” for guests.

I had an unplanned dismount (that’s how we equestrians describe an ejection from the back of our trusty steed) so there was a trip to Urgent Care and there is now a sling decorating my right arm.

Discourse on “the debate” does not seem to be winding down, but that’s politics in an election year . . . or maybe that’s just politics?

My flower beds are blooming, the grass is green and the sky is clear – today it’s pretty durn good to be “me”, even with a sling. Maybe I should put some ribbons on it and make it festive? After all, a girl can use some sparkle, right?

Enjoy your weekend, enjoy your life, cherish the moments and the good times. Walk away from the Debbie Downers and remember to smell the roses!!
