I Love Spring

Posted on March 2, 2015 by Sarah Maude

I love spring; I use to think I loved spring and fall equally as much, but I have changed my mind.Tulips - spring flowers

After the cold winter, snow and ice suddenly, the sun comes out, and the vegetation starts to grow. Tulips, and daffodil’s push through the earth and it gives me a feeling of euphoria – it is like a rebirth
of life a spectacular thing.

The lilac bushes I have planted close to my front door – bloom, and the fragrance are intoxicating. It reminds me of my mom the reason I planted those bushes was, so I could pick her bougets.

Spring symbolizes the beauty of life; we can come out of the rain – we can always have a fresh start with anything we choose.

Spring brings a breath of fresh air, the spirit of hope and the belief that everything will be alright.

Routine Blah So Boring.

Posted on February 22, 2015 by Sarah Maude

I get so frustrated I am one of those people that want things to happen fast. I don’t want to have to wait; I don’t want to analyze or wait long periods to see results.Frustration, changing direction

In my business, I have to start from step one no matter what the project so my business life is fine it is in my personal life; I need help.

I also hate routine – it is boring and mundane. I think that is because I had never had a real routine as a child. Since my mom was fighting just to be able to stay alive of course some of those things went to the wayside.

As an adult even at my age to establish a routine is torturous add that to instant gratification it is not good in any situation. That is where I tell myself, I will start my diet later, clean my house or exercise tomorrow. This ends up being a disaster because tomorrow never comes.

I will go a few days eating healthy, but if I am offered a cinnamon roll with raisins (or whatever) I eat it after all one slipup won’t hurt.  If I were to do this once in a while that is fine, but once I have one I continue to eat badly, and it is almost like an addiction! I need to visualize that gold at the end of the rainbow. Know the sacrifice will be worth it in the end.

This is where I need a paradigm shift – I just have to remember the saying life is a journey not a destination…

Cleaning Lady

Posted on February 15, 2015 by Sarah Maude

When I was young, my mom was sick and decided to have someone come in and help clean. I remember grumbling when she wanted me to clean – after all why clean when someone was coming to clean it made no sense.

Now 45 years later (I sound so old!) I am doing the same thing, and I completely understand. I have to clean up before the cleaning lady comes…understanding you parents, cleaning,

It is amazing how as we grow up, things seem to make so much more sense, and we understand that our parent did know what they were talking about.

Imagine that!
