My girl

The cast is off and my girl is back and in action :) It was a hard three weeks for her. She has cheerleading, tumbling, tumbling competition as well as rec/travel softball going on. Definitely a busy summer for us. I never know if I am coming or going. I am definitely looking forward to a nice quiet weekend. Tournament has been canceled and hanging with some friends is looking mighty appealing right now. Just hope that this rain from Hurricane Alex is done by then. I could use some relaxation by the pool sipping bellinis, margaritas, sangrias, mojitos, or whatever the mood strikes. Although with it being 4th of July weekend . . . I have a feeling that it will end up being action packed with parties to go to. Oy vey.

Hello Summer :)

Hello Summer!!! It is like a million degrees outside, even in the shade. Thank God for bikinis, swimming pools, and those fruity cocktails that are sipped by the pool in my bikini while hanging with friends and listening to some New Orleans music. What a way to cool off while working on your tan :)

You just never know.

Life is interesting sometimes. If you wait long enough, questions will be answered. Not in the timely manner that you may like, but it does get answered in time. Closure is a powerful thing and I find it interesting that this happened while I am reading the book "The Power of Now."

While reading this book, this quote stood out to me:

"As far as inner transformation is concerned, there is nothing you can do about it. You cannot transform yourself, and you certainly cannot transform your partner or anybody else. All you can do is create a space for transformation to happen, for grace and love to enter"

I have decided to cut out, totally, the negative and toxic people that were in my life or even just being around negative and toxic people. I have chosen to take charge of my life as I am the only one living it. It is short. I do not need to subject myself to people who are ignorant and know not what they speak of. It never mattered to me what people thought of me. I have, on occasion, come across people who have said things about me who really have no clue what they are taking about. Talk about entertainment. The fact that I take up that much room in their mind and life without having to pay rent is awesome when in fact, they are nothing to me.

It is a good read and I look forward to finishing it poolside this weekend. Love the leisure of Country Club life :)
