Quite a few things... Some innocent. Some not. Some mischievous as hell!

Just that I *still* cannot find my mobile...Things just are not going very smoothly today...so, I think that I need to stop trying so hard..and just let it be.

The upcoming move...the change that it will bring. Positive change :) I also decided to look at schools closer to where we will be living, and found that the local community college has an LPN curriculum :) I am applying Wednesday, and got the nursing school entrance exam study guide in the meantime. I already meet the requirements for the program because of all the classes I have taken previously! (over 80 credits) so really all I have to do is do very well on the TEAS test (entrance exam) but I test well and this should be relatively feasible
This program is also HALF the cost of the one i was considering previously, and their schedule is far better. It LOOKS like I will be going to school 4 days a week INCLUDING clinical! And they have school during the intercession so as to get the program done sooner. (40 weeks) It occurs to me that that is the amount of time that a woman is TYPICALLY pregnant for...lol I'm very excited about this development. And ESPECIALLY happy that I haven't missed the deadline for application...

:hangloose:

Being nervous. I don't know why, I just am. Lots of changes are coming, or already have. Some big, some small. It's like having a pebble in your shoe. You have to feel the pebble before you can remove it.

I am thinking about work but I am keeping myself distracted with a movie.

knowing that when i needed hym the most , hy was there ~

My great idea for art on a game board and hoping a friend who is an awesome tattooist can help me out in that regards.

How happy I am with my life, even when my drama free bubble is occasionally popped.

New friends, old friends, all friends are good friends when you cry for help and they are there by your side.

There are many thoughts, I don't know where to begin. I didn't sleep all that well. I haven't been able to sleep more than a couple of hours a night since last week. I am craving a lot of things, including something caffeinated.

I am thinking about friends, creatnig a starting point with my list, little daydreams, work and if I can manage to stand long enough to make something for breakfast.

What I need

What is on my mind?
 

Moving, visiting my dad, swimsuits I sent the grandbabies, new living situation, death, struggle, my art, my storage, puppies, cats, mice, Ellen, travel, friends I haven't called, my girl, other people in my life, coffee, phone chargers, mailboxes, valentines day, birthday parties, school, car insurance, vehicles, road trips, weather, my daughters... I think sometimes I think too much. :blink:

I think our minds think alike.

I know ocean it's always good to have a real friend one who always be there for you. I hope you will always have a friend in hym . :rrose:

My girl

How busy we get with our lives.
How important friends are.

Job apps put out today.
Slowly developing mini goals to cultivate the big goals.

Thinking about
 

A shower and rockyroad ice cream.

The reason behind why I am awake at 3 am

The message I just sent a friend and the one I am contemplating sending to another.

My ski trip this weekend up at Loon...it's the first time that I'm skiing there, and it's challenging.
I'm excited, and also a little scared..but, I do enjoy those feelings anyway..and occuring simultaneously? Brilliant.

:D

Mind
 

Im going do some night photography!

another long day of dealing w. ins. companys and doctors office's faxing this and that ~~ calgon take me away ~~

I wonder what Friday evening will bring, how much cooking I will have to do to satisfy, how many wonderful conversations could present themselves and if I am really prepared for tomorrows opportunity. I guess I can just live in the moment and go with the flow!

Is there a full moon or something tonight?

Two emails received today and their potential meanings
Consequences that could result from both of them... And not all consequences are bad

No, no full moon. Today is the 1st quarter.

What is on my mind today is why people become the kinds of friends they are in my life. I have those friends that are so close, they can be counted on for anything, at any time. They don't need to talk to me all the time but I know I can count on them for anything if its needed, whether that is company for a coffee date, last minute babysitting, a much needed extra $20 to fill in a gap, or simply a listening ear and a shoulder to cry on. I also know I would do the same for them. These friends really do BECOME family to me. But other friends who I have had and kept over the years did not become that for one reason or another.

Recently I am realizing that much of this is because they do not reflect the qualities I hold closest in my heart. I look for many things in my tightest circle, and the lack of one of those qualities inevitably leads to a much more distant friendship. As I have thought about that this past week or so I have started to think about what those qualities are. I really do look for qualities like generosity, understanding, open-mindedness, honesty, and good communication skills. I have always valued these qualities.

What I am realizing is included in these that I did not see before is thriftiness and economy of life. Not that they have very little, or that they want very little, but that they can make so much FROM very little. I do not have to have the best and most expensive of things to have a happy and full life. I personally have a house full of things that make me very happy. But I spend my money wisely and I meet both my needs and my desires without overextending myself. I choose to make a picnic, instead of eat out. I choose to go to the beach instead of a theme park. I choose to buy a used couch or car, instead of spending more on a new one. I have made a lot of choices to put my family ahead of money. I choose to live on less and to have more.

I guess today I am thinking about how important this quality is to me... and how some people still don't get it.

Thank you for your sincere post. I, like you, value these things in my own life and among those who have become friends and family.

It is rare to find people who possess many of these qualities in the same ways we do and even more rare to find people who seem to have them all. Lately I have been considering how blessed I am - old friends and new.
