A fortune…

Monday. The least popular day of the week. It’s certainly MY least favorite day. <sigh>

I took all last week off of work. Well, I went in Monday afternoon, but was off the rest of the time. I can’t go into why, but just know that I did. :-)

When I got to the office this morning, there was a fortune cooking sitting on my desk. It was the same one I had left there the last Friday I had worked. Naturally, being curious about my fortune from over a week ago, I opened it and found this…..

 

I immediately laughed out loud. Boss#2 begins to wonder why I laughed, and when I showed her, her only reply was “You are. Certainly by me.”   <big grin>  Glad they saved it for me.

I have recently been craving the Surf ‘n Turf at Panda Express. I have so many addictions going on right now, that I had to satisfy one of them. So, to Panda I went today for lunch. And with Panda came another fortune cookie.

How come when I saw this, all I could think about was Game of Thrones? Goffery hasn’t married yet, right?

LOL

 

I. Am. Lucky.

I am incredibly lucky. Not because I’ve won the lottery, and not because I’ve won an international month long trip. I’m lucky just because.

When I got to work on a very busy and rather unsatisfying Friday, I had my favorite M&M’s waiting for me. Bff@work knows what it takes to make me happy. Sometimes, he does just the slightest little thing, that can make my entire day seem not so shitty. A baggie with yellow and green M&M’s on my desk made me smile. For him, I am thankful.

When RJ calls me and says “I want to spend some time with you at Christmas”. The X is allowing RJ to come stay with me through the Christmas holiday. First time in six years I’ll be able to shower my RJ with Christmas spirit. For The X and his new found trust in me, I am thankful.

When JK walked out of my life, I thought for sure it would make me bitter and angry at the world. Guess what? It didn’t. It forced me to take a very unpleasant look in the mirror. I never want to watch anyone walk away from me, ever again, and I will work my ass off to ensure that happens. He was right, I needed to make some changes. For JK and his rude comments, I am thankful.

When Kasey comes into my room at 5:30am and pushes his cold wet nose against my arm that’s hanging off the bed. This early morning surprise reminds me that I have the house to myself and I am the sole person responsible for these four dogs. And they need to pee. At 5:30AM!  For this reminder, I am thankful.

When I’m standing in my garage staring under the hood of my car. One of my neighbors always comes over when he sees I’m playing under the hood of my car. Perhaps it’s the thrill that he might solve something I haven’t. Or maybe he just likes seeing me get greasy. Either way, he’s there to help. For this neighbor, I am thankful.

Happy Saturday, Readers. I hope you can recognize all the things that make you lucky. Just thinking about it all made me smile. I hope you get the same feeling when you think about how lucky YOU are.

Reassurance in mankind. For now.

A few days ago, I was feeling pretty down in the dumps. Financial issues, ex husband issues, roommate issues, and relationship issues, can bring one down faster than one is prepared for. At least that's how it works for me in my little bubble. I was struggling with reality and whether or not life was worth getting up every day, when I finally called JK. Help. Need a bit of reassurance that life doesn't totally suck. He came through and offered up some sound advice. *Thank you JK*

Being the skeptic I am, I couldn't just go off one persons word. I got on my knees in my backyard and prayed. I didn't care who saw. I was at a point where I needed the kind of reassurance that only a higher power could give me.

After spending eight long years going to catholic school when I was younger, and even after going to church three times a week, this was the first time I actually saw the answers. It was amazing. I woke up the next morning with a different outlook on my day. Things happened throughout the day that proved to me that life wasn't anywhere near sucking. Today, same thing. It's just one positive thing after another.

Weird how things work out. :-)

My faith in humanity has been restored. At least until the next idiot pisses me off. ;-)
