Rare gems

It's very rare to meet ppl in my life that I feel are beyond amazing. I mean I love my family and my friends and I'm lucky enough to find some really great ppl in my life.

But there are those that stick in your head. Those that have a profound affect on anyone that meets them. Those that you feel are so full of goodness their cup is overflowing. I actually went on a date with one guy like that - he is married now and I still can say good stuff about him.

Then there is my high school friend. Married with kids, ebbing through life and I only keep in touch maybe once a year with a voice mail or text.

I'm truely blessed by his presence.

This time he called at a very difficult time in my life. 

Everyone should be blessed to have a friend like him.

Love affair

Been so tired lately. 

I think I'm starting a love affair with my bed.

2:30 pm nap time again. 

Too bad for the vegetarians...

8:30 am - the whole health centre smells like bacon...

Baby step

Today I saw a cute dimple,

It was connected to a friendly smile,

Which was connected to a handsome face,

Which was connected to a helpful man.

He was here to check on the cold issue I've been having in my office since I moved here.

Much more helpful than anyone else who tried to help.

I even got to ask him about my hvac issues in my condo.

I don't know his name.

Yes.

My day was a bit brighter.

Thanks, I needed that.

Girl punch

We were punching at the gym the other day. 

I punch like a girl.

Gotta fix that.

Out with the old? Hope it doesn't kill me.

Found this in the freezer. Forgot about it. It's months old. Soup..... From an ex. Lmao! 

Maybe I shouldn't eat it. Hope this doesn't kill me. If it tastes like crap now I'll just throw it out. Least I have  my "go to" frozen pizza on stand by. 

Ugh ... Waiting for it to defrost is going to take a bit. Hopefully the painful memories of the good and bad won't kill me first.

The Luckiest

"The truth is, now I don't travel back at all. Not even for the day.

I just try to live every day

As if I've deliberately come back to this one day, to enjoy it,

As if it was the full final day of my extraordinary, ordinary life." 

- movie: About Time.

Then to top it off, this wonderful old song, that I know all the words to, by Ben Folds. The Luckiest. 

Hope to get out of this place that is keeping my heart captive and experience and truely hope for, all that I truely believe I will find. 

Good movie. 

Happy New Year!

So long wildly growing Mr. Aloe, it's been a nice 4 years... You've seen some interesting happenings in my kitchen and it's now time to move on to my moms. She will take good care of you.... If she doesn't forget you among her many plants and flowers. Lately, you've grown so wild on the window sill, that you were poking my eyes out while I've washed the dishes. Got me a few scratches just today as I was trying to shine you up for mom. 

For a few months already I've been trying to find a good home for you. Today I mentioned you to my mom, I thought "hey I saw them selling large aloe leaves in the grocery store... Maybe I can just eat the plant."

My mom laughed then said, "sure, I guess you can try that. Don't eat too much though, you may end up poisoning yourself... Then your whole face will go numb and then you can't even call for help..."

Haha...I see, This is were I get my optimism from!!!

Any hoot, finally found a Mr. Succulent, not exactly the one, but quite grand in comparison to what I've seen ... Great pattern of growth, bonus flowers and Still slightly pointy tips but did not get scratched once! :)
