Learn and Grow

I've been doing a lot of reading and thinking lately. As well as having a sick Ms. P who's challenged my patience. Ok. I've had a serious short amount of patience lately-I blame the winter. I'm sooooo ready to see some grass and be able to walk without boots and winter hats. In fact, I started most of my seeds for this year already. I cold-start them, so here's hoping! {I wasn't aware that verbena has a 12-week starting period, in the dark, so I'm glad I started early!)Here's to getting back to nature with dirty hands, knees, and that streak of mud on my head where I wiped the sweat away with my gloves on. (^.^)

And if all goes well, we'll be up to our noses in pumpkins. My lovely darling husby picked out the "Competition Size" orange pumpkins, so there goes the back corner of the yard {not that I mind...pics of the yard will come} and I opted for some lovely blue and white ones {planning Halloween theme already...} Oh...my...goodness! Who's excited? This guy.


On another note, I've started a new chapter in both my business and my personal lives. Since I really pay attention to details {the ones most miss}, I'm going to create details in everyday life. Like text messages to A like "You make me smile." {Of course, it's followed by a slew of q's from him so I add the Dwight Schrute "That is all." at the end} Or being even more conscious of others around me in public places and opening doors, offering a cart, or just saying 'hello'. Call it what you will-golden rule, situational awareness, etc. {I call it Karma} I enjoy the warm fuzzy feeling I get from helping others. {Helper's High?} I'd like to say I'm also trying to not complain for a month, but I like my b!tch sessions too much for that. Hey, I'm not perfect by any means.

On a side note, a friend texted me this message that made me both tear up and laugh:
"I feel deprived of the D___"{last name here}
May I mention that we saw these guys last on Monday and I got the message yesterday?
I love my friends.
Magical.

Happy weekend!
