Random Thoughts, Sayings and Other Stuff

Hi all, this post will continually be updated as I/we run across something that absolutely must be shared with you all. Look for a new post date to see the updated items. If you have something to share send it to me to be added to our running lists; use the comment section or the “Contact Us” link . Not sure what “Other Stuff” is going to be so it may not last, because in essence they really are all deep thoughts…..right?

Something Said….

Deep Thoughts…

• A 20 something looks up from her phone to answer the question “Is Vena here?”. She replies “No, she is not back from her trip to Napalm”. – Really?!? I think we need to be concerned about our future.
• Retire early, travel, cook through your cook books, do the things you have always wanted to do and then tell everyone who will listen all about it
• Am I living my best life daily?
• How did I ever work 12 hour days and still handle personal things at the same time?
• When Scarlett (our kitty) sits near her food bowl and looks at it, looks at me, looks at it, looks at me…..trying to get me to feed her more food….all I can think is ” I too have been hungry”
• Music is powerful; it can change your mood before you know it

Other Stuff…..

• Do you know your “Love Language”? How come this hasn’t been in my life yet?
• Just received an email that said ” Forest Bathing – the trend you need to know”….really? Is this a fancy way of saying take a walk in nature?
• Can I please have the boundless energy of the kitten along with their metabolism?
• It is amazing how much joy and laughter a kitten (or any pet) brings to a home.
• Don’t wait until a tragedy to realize that time is precious. Live a grateful life, love with all you are, and create happy memorable days
• Why do I wake up from a deep sleep to move carefully as to not wake my fur baby who wakes us up every morning between 2am and 6am to be fed?
• Why “Where Lavender Roams” because I love all things purple, I have written in purple ink since junior high, and where I roam is what we are going to chat about here; restaurants, travels near and far, cooking, and the day to day adventures that are worth a shout out.
