So do you want to know what's new with me?

Not much, haven't be walking the track, however even though it is cold out I have every intention of starting back at the track on Monday, as long as it is above 30 degrees and is not raining. I have been exericing here at home though, which is good.

At work, well . . . . what started out as one idea turned into something quite different, but hopefully that is a good thing. We will have to wait and see. The new idea is to have a contest, we are going to have a contest to see who can spot the most lawn displays over a period of weeks, about 4 weeks.  The details are on the local canton link. Here is the graphic for the link and header for the info page:

Then on the personal front I am feeling much better, thank you. Looking to make some changes and improvements in life today, tomorrow and forever.

Don't be afraid to drop a comment or two.

So how are all of my regular readers? It's been a few days since my last post. For a while now you regular readers have been watching and reading, when are you going to walk this way (aka post something) as there have been days where things have seemed a little unkind, but I don't mind, it will all pass, and one more step and it will be to late, or will it? I am so sure that you are all reading this blog on a pretty regular basis, stats like sad eyes tell me so.

Life is like a box of chocolates, then there are weeks that it seems more like a barrel of monkeys, or maybe it's a can of worms, I am not to sure.

Things seem to be settling in something a bit more routine, so the "new" normal may be close at hand as everyones normal is a little different, and each change in ones life changes that which they would consider to be normal. Normal is in the eye of the beholder, just as beauty is. Hopefully these means that I will be getting back to the track, back to walking, back to getting a bit more time to spend thinking about things while I walk the track with my music. Smiling at the beautiful people who smile back a me. Brighten someones day today, and tomorrow, smile!

So, tell me what do you think?

So I should be in bed, however my beautiful Kate is at her school's homecoming dance. I have signs in the morning, and Lilli is spending the night which means I will not be able to go back to sleep for very long. It's gonna be long day tomorrow.

All is good.  Life is good!

 Live Laugh and Love.

 

No usuall signature tonite, I'm on the lap top.

Ok, so I am soooo over all of the unforunate and unhappy events and happenings of this past year. They are gone, done, all forgiven, and almost all but forgotten. To the best of my ability hard feelings are put aside, anger buried, grudges let go. It's time to move on and move forward.  All of it was just dragging me down and taking up to much energy and time.

If you are looking for me, you will find me either in the present or in our future, as I am not in my past, I have placed all that in a box on the shelf. Today I move forward working hard on my future, will taking time to enjoy the present, no longer stuck to the actions, behaviors, events, or wrongs in what was, they are in that box marked do not open, sitting on the shelf in the back of the closet in my mind.

While my dream is still missing, I am hard at work creating a new one while still hunting down the old dream. Are you interested in being part of my new dream? I am looking for new characters willing to particapate in the story that is my life.

My daily walks at the park will be back, however not today, I have the beautiful Lilli to watch and Kate needs to see the doctor, perhaps tomorrow if the weather holds out, if not then there is next week.

What a day. While rentals were good (4 for the day) the day over all is leaving something to be desired.

I did sleep, instead of walking, still not sure if it was the best thing. However it may have been since when I went out to leave for work (mom's house) the company truck decided not to start. So here I sit without transportation. The stupid ford taurus is sitting in the garage, in need of a new transmission. Then there is the old ford truck, that Tom drives, I guess there will be the 3 of us sharing it for a while. I can't drive it though, the seat will not move forward so there is no way for short little me to reach the pedals. Pete won't drive it because it is in need of body work, so that leaves Tom to drive both of us, fun.

I didn't walk so there goes the extra exerise for the day, didn't have the energy to do any wieghts or toning today either. So much for that.

I have decided that I am not in a train tunnel, if I was there would be at least one of two lights at the end of this dark hole in the wall, either the daylight of the other side or the headlight of an on coming train. All I see is darkness, not a hit of light, someone throw me a flashlight, this mine staft is giving me the staft.   

Then there is the lack of money, I am working on that as well as other such things.

Enough rambling, if you wish to comment please by all means do. All comments need to be approved before they are plubished, if you want to keep it between us just say so.

No signature again to night, still trying to find that lost dream, the feeling of being alive, looking for some help.

Hey here is a question for those of you whom are regular readers. How can someone who talks my children with distain, disrespect, hatefulness as weel as talk to me about my children with the same cruel, distain, disrespect, and hatefulness, think that I could love them? ANy answers out there?

Good Morning out there. Not sure if I'm going to walk this morning, haven't quite made up my mind if I should walk or sleep.

Haven't blogged in a while. While I did think about it I didn't. Really if I would have it would have been several days of rants, not blogging. It's probably a good thing that I didn't actually take to the computer and put into writing what I was thinking and feeling. Here is to hoping that this is a better week.

Forget the usual signature for this post not really feeling up to it. So I guess the most you can hope for is to catch me on the flip side, as the day goes on. I had a dream, don't know where it went, if you find it please return it to me.

Tuesday, I managed one lap (1.5) miles, today I did a little more, while I did not manage to make it 2 whole laps I did walk 2 miles this morning. Here's to getting 3 miles in tomorrow.

So now I have a question for those reading this blog. Who among you are the 4 people who have this blog pinged?

So Wednesday is coming to a close, not much happened today, September 23rd, 2009, no tmuch at all. It was raining this morning so I did not walk, however I did do a little with the wieghts before I went to work. Tomorrow is different story. First it's Thursday, another day closer to the weekend, if that really means anything. Second, I hope to get to the Chamber Luncheon, something I have not done in months. Third I plan on walking hopefully 2 laps in the morning. The weather is suppose to be pretty nice, not to hot, not to cold, not to wet. Maybe I will see you there.

All things point to today being the day that I return to the walking track. 5 Hours of sleep, it's not raining (at least right now), the temps aren't bad, and I am feeling pretty good. So barring anything major I should be there this morning.

My sister is in town, she is leaving her husband at last. I never cared for the guy, he always just rubbed me the wrong way. And so . . . . we (Clark Novelty Sign Sales) are setting her up in business in the Columbus OH area. Her signs are going to be a bit of a departure from our standard MDO 74" x 42" signs, as we are using corograted plastic for her larger signs that will measure 4'x4' when set up, they will designed so that they can fold to fit in her hatchback. She will only be placing between 10 and 25 little theme items or critters around the special occasion signs and 3 hearts around her baby signs.

Today's goals are get the magnet done for Barberton, print some more grinners are winners letters and envelopes, print some daily letters, and run the graphics for Sylvia's signs, pay the electric bill, walk 3 miles, do some muscle toning, some house cleaning, sign pick ups, and maybe a little TV tonight isn't the season premier of NCIS on tonight?
