Create not Hate

Yesterday after work I went to pick up some supplies to paint some items for a friend.  I went to Hobby Lobby and man was it windy!  I practically got blown over!  Well, I was only in there for maybe 20 minutes and when I got out to the car I about had a heart attack!  There was a huge white paint mark on my beautiful blue bug!!!

See what I am talking about?

HOW RUDE!  There was no note.  No sign of anyone trying to admit…ugh.  Rude people!  I was venting to a friend last night about it.  He decided that rude people had no place.  I told him that I couldn’t be mad because it probably was an accident really…and  they only make me write more creatively!  It works really to my advantage.  🙂   Create not hate.  There is no reason to hate.  It pulls you down to their level and  it actually makes people more mad when you don’t react!  Think of that one!

Next, instead of getting angry with anything or anyone, I peacefully sat for an hour in quiet time then took it all out on the canvas’.   I was in one of those empowerment moods.  I just pushed out two really cool concepts on them.  Here was my criteria: something to match a sage green, blue and light brown comforter, chocolate brown walls, and something outdoorsy.  YEAH, that is a crazy combo.  But, I think I did well with 2 out of 3 for now!  There was not much guidance or anything on this project so bear with me…they are not quite finished but close!

 

This will be the center frame 🙂

This is “The Owl” that will be on the far left hand side when looking at the wall…

There will be another blue frame on the right hand side but, I am redoing that this evening.  I am super excited!

I have felt so empowered lately.  I have felt more like I am finding what makes me feel like myself.  I am learning how to bloom and figure it out!  Friends that are there to help you along the way…so life is good!  Maybe tomorrow if your lucky, I will share with you a secret!  You will just have to stay tuned for you never know what is in store in the life of a little CatMan.  😉

CatMan got her grooooove back…look out!

Yesterday was so much needed.  I think I feel more like myself than I have ever!  I feel like this stage of my life is picking up where I was shattered and create a beautiful masterpiece that will allow me to mature and grow into an amazing woman!  Not saying that I am not amazing now, but DANG (I am trying to give up my nasty habit of cussing!) think of the possibilities!?!?

I was given a card of a single Realtor in the area thanks to my “nail lady Lily”.  I will put it this way….I was definitely not his type.  He is a regular there and I am pretty sure that he was looking for a skinny mini model-esk girl that he could swing around and take out like a Barbie.

Does this look like me? UH I DONT THINK SO!

NEWS FLASH, I am definitely NOT that girl!  🙂  Well just for the record, I do clean up nice but I would rather do my own thing versus have some lousy expectations set for me to fit a mold!  I broke the mold with my awesomeness thank you!

I received a letter from my dear friend D.Robb who is in the Army.  He is one of my best friends and always knows how to make things better.  I wrote him back a letter. D. Robb and I go way back and it was just fabulous hearing from him.  I miss that man dearly!

Sunday was spent with a Nick while I was in recovery mode.  I must say we did a whole lot of nothing and it was the best night ever!  We watched Braveheart, played “spoons”, and ate Hawaiian pizza!  I swear he is like an OLD GRANDPA!  He had a crazy night on Saturday and so he too was coming down if you will.  I feel so secure with him…there is never a care in the world when I am hanging out with him and in fact he introduced me to a new therapy for being pissed off!  My newest therapy–shooting off fireworks!  HAHA.  I felt so amazingly relieved once I lit my little Sparkler Ball (yes that is what it was ACTUALLY called!).  It was a rush because I am usually not coordinated enough to use a lighter and do two things at once but, last night I conquered it!  It was amazing the amount of liberation I felt when I tossed it across the open lawn!  🙂  10:30pm hit, and grandpa was ready for bed!  HAHA!  Between him and my friend Nick man, they make my life so much better!

Now on to my Monday, today I realized I didn’t have any jeans clean for work so, had to dress up dang it!  It kind of stunk because I know that I will be doing kind of some dirty jobs if you will.  Today has been great and very productive thus far.  I was itching my foot this morning and I realize I definitely had a hole in it.  Typical Monday!

AND I just got off the phone with good ol’ Herb to which he had the HARDEST time hearing.  HE WAS COUGHING AND CLEARING HIS THROAT LIKE MAD TODAY!   I asked him how he was feeling.  I asked ” Herb how’s your lungs feeling?”,  “meh…who?”,”YOUR LUNGS”, “what the hell are you saying?”, “your L-U-N-G-S!”  (I had to actually spell L-U-N-G-S!) “Lunges?  what are you saying?”… “NO, L-U-N-G-S!  You know what you breathe with?”…..”OH LUNGS!  Oh they are just fine!  I feel good!”…. “OK that’s all I needed to know buddy!”.  This is a very typical conversation for us…going back and forward for 5 minutes until the message finally gets across.  Oh well.

Today life is good.  I am so blessed and I don’t thank God enough for it!

Simply Beautiful...
