Two Days 'til Halloween

Sometimes things just get so busy it's hard to get everything done. I am picking up tickets today for Howl-O-Scream on Saturday night. I am going to dinner and then to see the Grudge which will put me away from home til after midnight. I am going to a luncheon at 11am tomorrow, then maybe a fifity mile trip to see Dad and Howl-O-Scream at 8p, home after midnight. Most days are like this and I think they are like this for a lot of people. Work, school, meetings, socializing and entertainment are more and bigger and harder to do today than ever before.

The other side of the coin is, I am so happy to be able to do all that I need to do without any handicapps or infirmities. I am so grateful for my health and for all the wonderful people who help me everyday.

Don't Know What You've Got Til It's Gone

One day, two frogs leaped onto a lily pad at the exact same moment. The girl frog fell instantly in love and the boy frog thought she was very nice. They talked and talked and seemed to be very happy. A large fish swam by and the lily pad broke lose and rapidly floated down the river. The frogs clung to the lily pad and to each other.

Time passed and the frogs continued to float down the river on the lily pad eating flies and living life. Sometimes they went through rapids and sometimes the water was calm but neither frog jumped off. By this time the lily pad was their home. The boy frog thought about heading off to find ‘greener' lily pads with other girl frogs, but he didn't. He stayed on the lily pad and the two frogs continued floating down the river together.

Years later, the boy frog looked at the girl frog and she didn’t look well. She wasn’t talking much and stayed asleep most of the day. When the girl frog no longer moved despite his efforts to wake her, the boy frog realized that he hadn’t just liked the girl frog but he had, in fact, loved her.

I Feel the Hand of Fate Runs Everything

I know we all deal with odd occurances, deja vu and coincidental situations that are just too creepy to seem like a coincidence. More and more things happen to me that make me scratch my head and wonder, "How in the hell did that happen?"

I'm not clear on what I want to say about all this. I just wanted to add this to my blog so I could ponder on it later.

Pollyanna

I've been referred to as 'Pollyanna' all my life. I've decided to take my unbelievable optimism to the Internet. It's half full, it will work out, it all happens for the best and there is more to be thankful for than there are hours in the day.

I know how bad my outlook pisses people off and therefore I keep my opinions to myself but a blog is for freeing that inner person that those closest to us won't let come out.

Why, I feel better already!!!
