I haven't done this in so long! Since I'm my own WebMistress, I get my stats. Every month, I find fun stuff. I used to be really good at sharing, but it's been so crazy that I have been slipping. My bad! ;) Anyhoo, I love looking into how people find my site and am grateful for my Googleability, no matter how odd the search!

Just had my girl's 9th birthday party - will be on the road on her actual birthday, and today was the only possibility. Timing is EVERYTHING! Forecast kept warning us of thundershowers, but we do an outdoor party every year in a quaint playground. Every year they say possible rain. And we've never gotten caught!!! Hope I didn't just jinx next year!
It was glorious out, sunshine, luckily the trees provided plenty of shade. Water fountains were turned on as I was setting up. Friends rolled in, ate pizza, laughed at the veggie tray, enjoyed 3 kinds of cake, kids whacked at a dragon pinata and freaked out collecting toys and candy from the ground, stashing treasures in their Dragonball Z bags.
Got a few bug bites - this is definitely my year of the bug. Luckily I have the magic bug cream from China! I swear, when I run out I may just go back and visit, let the bugs congregate, and visit the hospital again for more! It's ridiculously effective.

My daughter and I just returned from a glorious weekend in the mountains. Nature, it seems, exists out there. Though I travel a great deal, I rarely end up on a mountaintop, gazing at wildlife larger than life, the snowcaps of mountains literally under my shoes, the thin air caressing my breathing, urging me to take in long deep breaths and relax because there's no other choice. It's amazing how a couple of days can make us realize that in some places, time has stood still. There's no mobile access on the mountaintop. There's no flushing toilet (for this I'm not sure I'm grateful!). But there are people who say "hello" as they pass you on the trail, there are dogs that are dying to be patted on the head by a 9 year old girl and owners who have the time to stop and allow their pets to receive love from a stranger. There are big rocks to sit upon and eat lunch with no particular goal other than to turn around and enjoy the walk a second time, [...]

It's amazing how much we take on, accept, because it's been presented to us. If you've got a closet full of unused presents from Secret Santa sessions, Knitting Grannies, Family Heirlooms... you know what it's like to hold onto something just because.
We do the same with work, offers, opportunities, because they are handed to us.
Who says we need to take it all? Who says we need to hoard Hummel Figurines, an old china cabinet with scratches from a dog long dead, china that was too expensive to eat off of and too ugly to do anything but store in a box, a gig that is musically unfulfilling, a job that pays low and has no happiness effect on our lives...?
Remember how to say "no". Remember how to say "no thank you". Remember to thank yourself for not taking everything simply because it's offered in your general direction. Need it, want it, and cherish and use it to better your life. Otherwise, there IS someone out there who will need, want and cherish it.
And on the [...]

Oh My.
