It's the last week of July, summer is slipping away rather quickly. I must say this has been a very exciting month-- lots of new things, fun times,quality conversation and of course laughter..
The month started out with a vacation, first one without kids in 5 years...it was a glorious time. I spent time on the beach, taking in the sunshine and listening to the waves..thinking and reflecting on life..we enjoyed a BBQ with his friends, and some cornhole( aka bean bag toss )..I'm always game for some competition..
I had a great GNO with my girls..good talks, dancing,free shots.. and a terrible headache in the morning..oh and a few trips to Mr.Porcelain..needless to say I hadn't partied like that since back in the Burg.. at The Monkey Barrel...
I am so thankful for the friends and family ...they have been so wonderful..I have spent time with my boys.. library trips, park,car rides..these boys are my world..
The month is concluding better than it started.. another trip to the beach with my man ! We simply enjoyed the simple things..shopping, Golf, Beach, time spent together..
Golf is fascinating ! I use to think it was a boring sport, until he opened my eyes and put it into perspective ( thanks B ).. I am now able to appreciate it much more and am ready to tackle the challenge of learning to play.. so thankful to have an awesome Golf Instructor !!!
I drove a few balls while in NC, and went on my first ride along while he played.. I was intrigued..I see the driving range in my future this week, followed by some Putt-Putt with Andon..
The car ride home was the best 7 hours..a very meaningful and heartfelt conversation, a moment I will savor forever.. we discussed EVERYTHING.. I did a lot of talking.. and those of you who know me.. know how I think( sometimes out loud).. everything I had running through my mind came out and was openly discussed.. and the most important topic came with a big surprise.. and as I left him to drive home I couldn't help but cry tear of joys-- as I was sooooo happy and excited.. I felt as though my mind was finally free.. I no longer had to wonder, question or doubt.. the answer given was the best words I have heard... and so July ... I am so glad you happened the way you did..
“Don't rely on someone else for your happiness and self worth. Only you can be responsible for that. If you can't love and respect yourself - no one else will be able to make that happen. Accept who you are - completely; the good and the bad - and make changes as YOU see fit - not because you think someone else wants you to be different.”
It isn't what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about.”
Dale Carnegie
“There is only one cause of unhappiness: the false beliefs you have in your head, beliefs so widespread, so commonly held, that it never occurs to you to question them.”
~~Anthony de Mello
