Do I have anything to say??

Posted by Marie Winters Adams at 2:21 PM

Well, I did walk the river this week!! It sure was hot, tho. I had to sit down and cool off -( half way through the walk.) I even went early, but it's just a hot week - what can I say. I don't mind the heat as much as I do the cold, so I won't complain.
Oh, wait, I already did complain! lol.
Anyways, something about walking around a big river of flowing water just makes me happy.
I'm okay with walking around the farms here when I can, but it's just much more fun being around the river.
So I will continue to try to walk that 10 mile walk at least once a week -for as long as possible.

I still work now and then as a sub at the Physical Therapist's in our town. They called me in for tomorrow - so I'm happy to do it. I like to be around people and at least feel like I'm doing something to help them.
But I just didn't like to work this job everyday. I guess it's cause I like my freedom too much.
Yes, I'm spoiled.
My husband has been the bread winner all of our married life and it has worked out great for us!! I'm thankful to have a sugar daddy! There I said it. I don't care what anyone thinks of it.
I try and do what I can to contribute to our happy life and it has worked for us. I know that most people don't have this luxury, but I'm so thankful that I do. Whoa.......I don't know how I got off on this subject.
I really thought I had nothing to say today.......other than the fact that I did walk the river this week.
But I guess I do have a thing or two to say.....:)
I've tried working over the years of raising our kids ....and it just hasn't worked out too well for me. I love taking care of the home, cooking ,being there for my family, having time to walk and do volunteer church work.
I am in awe of women that can do it all and I have many friends that seem to be able to. That is: to work full time and still take care of their family pretty well.(plus all the extra stuff)
My hat's off to them, but I don't like the fact that we sometimes criticize each other. We should be supporting each other - not tearing each other down.
What works for one - might not work for the other. That's all I want to say!

Still gotta say, my favorite part of this post is where you call Jay a sugar daddy!!; August 7, 2010 at 7:58 PM

To laugh often and love much

To laugh often and love much--
To win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children--
To earn the honest approbation of critics and endure the betrayal of false friends--
To appreciate the beauty --
To find the best in others--
To give of one's self--
To leave the world a little better whether by a garden patch...a healthy child...or a redeemed social condition--
To have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sang with exultation--
To know even one life has breathed a little easier, because you have lived--
this is success.

Marianne Williamson

I'm a fan of Marianne Williamson. Here's a quote from her:

Regardless of how dark things get, there is light that will ultimately follow the darkness. For that is guaranteed by God. What lies in our hands -- what is completely up to us as beings of free will -- is how long the night will last and how quickly the light will get here. Many people on this earth have cast great light, and now is a moment when all of us must. At a time of war, let's cultivate peace. At a time of hate, let's cultivate love. At a time of hopelessness, let's cultivate hope.
