I feel here it is another Friday, the weekend almost here... by the way
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO ALL TOMORROW!
I have just found out that I have an opportunity to meet several of the ladies of the IFAA that I am also an Active Volunteer!They are going to DC also the same time I am for another non-profit. So, we are thinking rather than me fly out on Tuesday, which was going to be hard on me anyway by the time I land back in Dallas, then drive 70 miles home, and it will be around 10 pm ... and my night vision is not all that great. So, I could be more rested, plus come back earlier in the daytime, just after rush hour, so that would be awesome also!!! So, that is one of my decisions and I really need to make the change TODAY as far as my flight. We were thinking about going to the Casino on Sunday and maybe even spend the night. But, the weather is supposed to be just hideous. 100% chance of rain all the way there, and then even if we spent the night, the same on Monday. So, we may postpone that and go the following weekend, although it does not look much better right now.
I wanted to stay here at home today, and in fact gave up a chance to go ahead and have my hair trimmed, but I was a bit worn out, plus have my head spinning in about 30 directions. I NEED to begin getting more and more writing on my book completed. It seems there is something everyday that takes my mind away, so I am either gone physically doing something or I am mentally too tired by the time I can even get to the computer.
So, life goes on and on... here is a post from Facebook I wrote talking about time, and just how quickly it passes you by....
Before
things get to hectic! I have about 25 "irons in the fire" right now!:) I
wanted to wish everyone a very nice Valentine's Day tomorrow! I
happened to have "almost" been a Valentine's Baby. My birthday is Sunday
on the 15th! Not really loving the fact I am "half-way" to 60... yuck
that sounds old! Yet, I feel my "work" here is not completed thus I must
accept the fact, the only way to be "here" on Earth and do what I love
is to try my best to accept that each year will make me a bit older. I
also hope that in with that age, I continue to "learn something new"
every day, and my hopes are that I will be able to somewhat have a bit
relief with the right medications from the Lupus, RA, Sjogren's and so
forth. Even if it means surgery down the road on a couple of joints, if
it keeps me up and on my feet, then I will be a happy camper. These
years seem to have just flown by too quickly. Jim & I celebrate 10
years of marriage in April! It seems like yesterday we met on Alki
across from Seattle, overlooking the "Sound" and all of the beauty that
is there. I still miss it and always will. I seemed to be "healthier"
there than any other place I've been to. Not sure if that was due to the
weather and climate, or if I just had not gotten into the horrid
symptoms of the autoimmune illnesses. Unfortunately, I had lost my job,
right after Jim and I met. Actually I resigned. And that was really due
to ongoing health problems, mainly Migraines and severe conjunctivitis. I
could not get rid of the eye problems. Each time I would heal up, in a
couple of days it would re-appear, and since it is so contagious, plus I
would not have been able to do the type of work I was doing at the bank
there, I began to miss lots of work due to health. Honestly, it was the
STRESS of that job, and the two "supervisors" who were "witches" and
that is putting it mildly. The stress each day of dealing with those
two, along with the tedious realms of dealing with Real Estate Files,
and all of the paperwork in them, the job was very, very stressful
without having to deal with two backstabbing, back biting, lying women.
They had been "friends" for many years, and had both worked there many
years, thus they spent their time covering one another's butts... But
that is past, I am back in TX now, in my hometown... and I've let go of
the anger and bitterness that I first had right after having to resign.
Later, in fact, I've become online friends with one of them. She was my
direct supervisor, and since then she had a very bad car accident and
bless her heart, dealing with lots of pain from the accident.... and the
bank actually closed since I left I found out. Anyway, time has gone by
much too quickly. My 1st Grandson was only about 5 weeks old when we
arrived back here. He and now his younger brother are both in school.
When I think about just how quickly life passes us by, it makes me want
to make sure those I love, and I care for dearly, whether family,
spouse, and friends... that I let them know. So, if you have a "special
someone" then I wish you a very beautiful Valentine's Day together. If
you are alone right now, then do something very special for yourself
tomorrow!!! You can "love" yourself and show how much you do. Whether
that means a special cup of coffee, a walk if it is pretty, buying that
"something" that you've wanted and so forth... Enjoy! Don't let life
pass you by.... as one of the songs in the country songs lists.... "No
Time to Kill" by Clint Black... and then another one is about how
quickly your child grows up, becomes a parent themselves, and goes on to
have their own family, all within a breath's space... in the blink of a
eye... time can pass you by... and as my favorite saying out of a song
in fact goes... (the chorus that reads "When They Carve My Stone All
They Need to Write on it... Living in A Moment You Would Die For" that
is what I want on my Head Stone someday - the chorus of this song....

Living in A Moment
Well the world just lost two lonely people
The world just lost two broken hearts
The odds were against it but baby here we are
In our own little place in our own little corner
This old cold world just got a little warmer
For the rest of my life I'm gonna hold you in my arms
And when they carve my stone all they'll need to write on it
Is 'Once lived a man who got all he ever wanted'
Tell me something, who could ask for more?
Than to be living in a moment you would die for
If you never get rich on what money can buy
It don't matter to me, I'll tell you why
I've got it all when I'm holding you this way
I'll live to love you, I'd die to keep you
Safe inside these arms that need you
I'll be loving you with the very last breath I take
And when they carve my stone all they'll need to write on it
Is 'Once lived a man who got all he ever wanted'
Tell me something, who could ask for more?
Than to be living in a moment you would die for
Ashes to ashes
Dust into dust
I'll lay beside you
Forever in love
And when they carve my stone all they'll need to write on it
Is 'Once lived a man who got all he ever wanted'
Tell me something, who could ask for more?
Than to be living in a moment, loving every minute
Tell me something, who could ask for more?
Than to be living in a moment you would die for
Living in a moment you would die for
Oh baby, I'm living in a moment I would die for
Oh, living in a moment I would die for
