Whoa is Knee...

What is your truth?  What truth would you like to share?  How truthful are you?  Seemed to be a theme today.  Something to think about.  At any rate - my knee has a deep pain.. It's like WHOA!  I may have to hit up a specialist tomorrow and have the fluids drained... yeah.. lots of info, huh? hahaha

1. "Truth is Life" - Frank Lloyd Wright.  I really like that quote.  I just heard it on a Ken Burns documentary tonight.
2. I went to the doctor about my knee injury. Turns out that it's bursitis.  I tell you what.  This is some crazy pain.. Almost as bad as my worst gout flare up.  The Doc was cool as ice though and gave me something for the pain. :0)  I hope I sleep better tonight.  Two days of not a lot of sleep is no good. 
3. My boss treated me to lunch.. Granted, I couldn't eat much.. but at least I didn't have to pay for it!
4. I had a really good laugh in the staff meeting today. It all stemmed from a bowel movement.  Gross, yes - but FUNNY AS HELL to hear the person bust into the meeting and announce why they were late. LOL
5. Tonight gave me another laugh - or maybe I'm high on Vicodin... but this video that is clowning on Chic-fil-A is hilarious!

Our Deepest Fear

Today someone was complaining about where they live and that they pretty much aren't worthy of being loved because they themselves are not able to give it for fear of being hurt. Why is fear so debilitating? I mean, ultimately we're afraid of how someone will respond and I get that.  We probably take more risks at work or when we drive a car or ride a bike than we do with finding love and happiness in our own lives.  I don't know about you but I value my own life and happiness. So, I am willing to take those risks.

1. Thinking about taking risks, I remembered this quote that I love by Marianne Williamson .
   

   “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

2. I forgot how much I enjoyed Public Television.  I love documentaries about the past.  I killed a good six hours watching the American Experience series on Lyndon B. Johnson and Franklin D. Roosevelt.  Very good programming. I think it's also fitting that FDR has the phrase, "There's nothing to fear but fear itself."  WHOA.. and then the first quote of the morning.  Hmmm.. someone is trying to tell me something. 
3. Gotta love free music.  A friend of mine makes mixes and you can download them on Sound Cloud.
4. I love that my interactions with people today has caused me to really reflect on what my passion is.  I haven't thought about it since my dog passed away at the end of January. I'm coming to a crossroad where I really need to reconnect with those thoughts.
5. I love how my friend's mom posts things on my Facebook timeline and I have never met the woman in my life. It cracks me up!  I can't wait to meet Ms. Rosetta!

A Wiggle in My Toes

I have been UBER busy.... well more like preoccupied. Maybe even distracted.  Definitely off my routine. At any rate, it's been a good couple of days. I've shaken the blah mood and I'm pretty much back to normal - aside from getting back into my regular routine. haha  The weather has been amazing so hopefully this weekend I can go out and enjoy it.

1. I just read this on a blog this morning: "As Anais Nin said, "We see things not as they are, but as we are."   Perception!" Such a good thing to remember about ourselves. I need to really put this into context of the last few weeks. Whew.
2. "Our prime purpose in life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them." I saw this pop up on my Facebook news feed. Very true. 
3. I went on a nice "meet and greet" as I call it. hahaha
4. I'm excited about the socks I bought.  Strange I know, but these are cool socks!  They go over each individual toe. LOL
5. I love that I have had another productive day.

My Sunday Reality

Sunday was certainly a day of rest, except that my form of resting was working on my 30 Crafts in 30 Days challenge.  I didn't leave the house aside from going to my car to get the dog food from it that I bought on Friday.  I did have a really good weekend although I just don't know where the time goes!

1. I created more projects for the craft challenge, one of which I really like and I am considering doing more of.
2. The Real Housewives of Atlanta is keeping me entertained. I don't watch a whole lot of reality tv but this show just does it for me! lol
3. I made Orange Chicken from a boxed dinner I bought at Walmart and I am happy to report that it was DELICIOUS.
4. I was happy to hear that my friend had a great date last night.  She deserves it.
5. I found a quote that I love on Pinterest this is about bravery - if you're not on Pinterest, you soon will be.  This site is growing like a California wildfire!
