DECISIONS

There was a lot going on today – and most of it was accomplished 😉

While the coffee was perking, and I was starting to dip into my face prep arsenal … I got a text from the dentist rescheduling my cleaning appointment. I okayed it, and continued putting my face in place 😉

The 'arsenal'. Hahaha
‘Gentle’ for browline, ‘Mic Drop’ lid color, ‘Groovy’ for upper eye liner and accent color, & ‘Turquoise’ for lower eye liner.
'Millennial Pink' Lash Primer (pumps up the lashes 😊), 'Auburn' Brow Gel, 'Glam Brown' Mascara, and 'Coral Ember' Creme Blush; 'Nude Intense' Lipstick & 'Coral Crave' Lipgloss.
'Hail Cherry' & 'Crystal Clear' nail polish ...

While I was reaching for my purse, I got a text telling me there was snow falling in the hills – and school bus drivers had been sent home: no school. So, I called a few people who live in the area I needed to be in this morning, and asked how the snow situation was there. I was told “snow is falling, but it’s not sticking.” So, I risked it, and kept the Tuesday Meet appointment.

Bring it on, world. LOL
Snow sticking in the hills ...

And I’m glad I did: the meeting was great 😊

The discussion was good; fast-paced, and productive. Everyone was in a good frame of mind, and I was able to teach and interact without disruption.

Questions considered during the Morning Meet: Do your present circumstances prevent you from being happy? Are you one of those who say, “I will be happy when … I find a partner, get married, get divorced, find a better job, make more money, have kids, my kids get older, I have more time, lose weight” … etc.?

Take a minute. Breathe. Relax. Consider that there are plenty of people in similar circumstances or even much worse off, yet they are happy. We all know people like that – people who, despite their current circumstances and situations, are happy and unflappable. Sometimes we are left scratching our heads and wondering why they are so self-composed when everything around them is total chaos.

They are unflappable because they have found the key to personal happiness, no matter what.

Happiness is an attitude, not something that is dictated by your circumstances. It is a choice you make in each and every moment about how to live your life. Leading a confident, loving, and happy life improves your relationships, career, self-image … and overall outlook on life.

So, the take-away today, is to realize that all of those factors that are holding you back from realizing your {happy place}, are just excuses to waylay you from attaining your pursuit of personal happiness. But the good news, is that those excuses can be turned into a rewarding and profitable self-examination to probe deep, and find out what is really going on in your life right now.

In reality, you are no different than anybody who is happy: no more and no less … you simply have not yet begun to take measures to change your attitudeand happy people have.

But it is never too late.

You are always one choice away from bringing about change 😊

Remember the people I posted about yesterday that had me laughing so hard – during yesterday’s Meeting? Well, they showed me a snippet video of the televised deer incident … and I was laughing all over again. Now, if I ever see this couple’s faces while in Toledo, I hope I do not burst out howling with laughter.

In small towns, people run into each other. And since I’ve seen their faces, I’ll recognize them when I see them – and remember the craziness of the decisions which led to the relayed stories told to me (and “proof” shown me, today) 😉

The local roadways stayed clear from ice and snow all day long (thank You, Yeshua!), and I was able to get e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g. done (renew my Driver’s License, and schedule a car maintenance appointment) before the end of December!

I’m glad I decided to stop by both places on my way home 😊

Another 1st without Bob; Driver's License renewal - and I removed the Passport Feature.
I was also able to get the Highlander in to be serviced, Thursday morning. Praise God!

Now, if the snow seriously starts to fly and stick, I don’t have to leave the house unless absolutely necessary 😉

I finished Clive’s book last night around midnight; so tonight, I’m going to explore another book, that promises interesting reading …

New Read.
