Vernal Equinox

At 7:02 a.m. EDT on Wednesday, March 20, the sun will cross directly over the Earth's equator during a moment known as the vernal equinox when both day and night are about equal -- also the official start of the new season. The seasons are reversed for those in the Southern Hemisphere and the event instead signals the beginning of fall.

Spring will last three months until June 21, and summer will carry on until the autumnal equinox on Sept. 22 at 4:44 p.m, according to the U.S. Naval Observatory.

Tarot Card Reading

I had a card reading done the other day. 

Now keep in mind, I'm a skeptic, big time. 

The deck was shuffled and cut. 

The card were placed. 

Then the journey was told.

 I don't remember it word for word. 

But I can tell you that it fit me. Like a glove.

 No wild stuff. 

Just a calm reminder from the universe; 

that once again, I am in the right place, 

doing the right things, making the right choices, 

wanting the right things in my life.

 I pondered the reading,

 and as I digested all the things I was told. 

 I am doing what is best for my kids and me. 

I already knew all of what I was told. 

None of it was new. 

But clarity can come in many different forms. 

And even when you are not looking for it. 

Some times. the universe just lets you know 

that you are doing a good job.

"Everyone in this world is dealt a different hand—some better, some worse than others—but what's more important is how you play that hand. This is what builds character. And with great character comes great reward."

Bad Ass

"Bad Ass" by Shannen Doherty. 

I read this book. Its not one of my usual reads. 

But it was fun and it had lots of empowerment tidbits. 

I love when you find something that brings out the inner biker babe/goddess! 

I will share some in the near future!

I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing

Watch you smile while you are sleeping

While you're far away and dreaming

I could spend my life in this sweet surrender

I could stay lost in this moment forever

Where every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure

Don't want to close my eyes

I don't want to fall asleep

Cause I'd miss you babe

And I don't want to miss a thing

Cause even when I dream of you

The sweetest dream will never do

I'd still miss you babe

And I don't want to miss a thing

Lying close to you feeling your heart beating

And I'm wondering what you're dreaming

Wondering if it's me you're seeing

Then I kiss your eyes

And thank God we're together

I just want to stay with you in this moment forever

Forever and ever

I don't want to close my eyes

I don't want to fall asleep

Cause I'd miss you babe

And I don't want to miss a thing

Cause even when I dream of you

The sweetest dream will never do

I'd still miss you babe

And I don't want to miss a thing

I don't want to miss one smile

I don't want to miss one kiss

I just want to be with you

Right here with you, just like this

I just want to hold you close

Feel your heart so close to mine

And just stay here in this moment

For all the rest of time Yeah yeah yeah

I don't want to close my eyes

I don't want to fall asleep

Cause I'd miss you babe

And I don't want to miss a thing

Cause even when I dream of you

The sweetest dream will never do

I'd still miss you babe

And I don't want to miss a thing

I Don't want to close my eyes

I don't want to fall asleep

Cause I'd miss you babe

And I don't want to miss a thing

Cause even when I dream of you

The sweetest dream will never do

I'd still miss you babe

And I don't want to miss a thing

Don't want to close my eyes

I don't want to fall asleep

And I don't want to miss a thing

Always Believe Something Wonderful Is About To Happen!

The Garage

This Thursday we have plans to clean the garage. Our goal is to get both cars in!!! 
My garage is not a disaster, other than all the packing boxes that I didn't ever need. The storage in there just needs reorganized. So Thursday is our day! Yesterday, Jessette stopped over to visit after work. We all visited for a bit, then as she was ready to head home, I asked her to take the last of her boxes out of the garage. After all she has her very own garage now and a darling house as well. We put the last of her boxes in her car and her disassembled desk as well. She asked if I was kicking her out. I reminded her that she had moved out almost two years ago. She agreed, but said that now I would have none of her things here. I reminded her that it was all just storage and I have so many lovely things inside still to remind me of her. 
On my way to reclaiming the garage, I did the happy dance!  

Thursday Update:
Mark, Amy and I cleaned out the garage. We reorganized everything. It got swept out and we took a load to Good Will. All the storage was sorted, and three more boxes will be headed to Jessette's place. Both cars are in the garage!! They fit great! We are all doing the happy dance!!

Being A Man

My son worked the closing shift last night. He got home around 11:30 pm. Today he has the opening shift at 5am. I was asleep when he got home, but awake when he left this morning. Before he left we talked for a minute about his friends, the band, bills and money. He said I should take the money he owes me out of the bank. I told him that doing so would leave his account empty. He said, "I am going to work, I'll make more, I just bought a car." I kissed him good bye and he left for work. I saw, as I have before, that my boy is growing into a responsible adult.

My Little Rental Home

I have lived in this little house for almost three and a half years. I love it! It is so me. My youngest two say it has always felt like home since the day we moved in, I agree. The paint on the walls are the colors I would have chosen, the tile is great, the plantation shutters are beautiful! The landscaping is far from perfect, but workable. The one and only thing I have disliked are the toilet seats. Gross, I know, petty perhaps. But as the house has felt like home since the day I moved in, the seats have been a daily reminder that this is still a rental. Yesterday we replaced them! What a joy to have the new replace the old. A simple thing, a small price for something that makes this little house feel like HOME!

Versa

My son spent the day with Maria yesterday. 
I like her! Maria is Amy's mom. She is where Amy got her firecracker attitude! 
By the end of the night Mark had his name on a new 2013 Nissan Versa. WOW!

My son is a grown up.

The process never ends until we die.
And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility."

Even breathing.
I miss you, please come home to me. I love you"
