Since it is raining here today, that is a weird topic! Except it isn't the "sunshine" I'm speaking of, this comes from within. I've been trying to be positive and looking for the good in most everything...I say most cause it is a work in progress. Try to not let others impact my day in a negative way, "water off a duck's back". Sometimes it is a smile through gritted teeth (fake it til yo make it). That inner happiness that seems to shine through onto everything. I like it!
Even the bad when it splatters onto my sunshine doesn't seem to be as bleak. Make your own choices and make the ones that make you and yours happy.

Bridal Shower
The new thing among my friends at least is meeting at a restaurant, eating, opening gifts and visiting. Someone else picks up the tab, that was nice.
What is an appropriate gift for a bridal shower? Towels? Cookbooks? Lingerie? What differentiates between a shower gift and and wedding gift? More $$$$?
What about gift cards? If a couple has been living together for several years and decide to get married, what do you give them?
I was going to give monogrammed towels, my usual. However, today I went to a bridal shower and everyone gave her towels. Not monogrammed, but the useful kind. Does that make the wedding gift any less useful?
The food was good no one has to work except those who are at work already, they also take care of the clean up , etc. The games are gone (:)) Pictures add a nice touch and the stories about the couple.
And for the first time the bride and mother of the brides friends meet..interesting.

Epiphany
What is an epiphany? I guess you know it when you have one. Humph. Then what is the difference between an epiphany and a good idea? Is a good idea carrying a hurricane lamp or candle into a dark room or should you just jump into bed for a little extra r&r? Does the epiphany come into play when you realize you don't have to do anything when the lights go out?
My epiphany was when Saturday came around I didn't have to do work that needed to be done, and that I could take the day off and PLAY. Now there was a new experience!
You ask what did you do to play? I'm not telling. You get to have your own epiphany. Just don't wait until you are my age.
For crying out loud, I'm a Recreation major. I guess I forgot how to have some fun amongst all the work that constantly needs to be done.
After all my travels this summer and this new epiphany, who knows what will happen to me!

World Traveler
Not really but the past month, I've been to Idaho, Oregon, Arizona and back to South Carolina. No matter how much fun I had, it is always great to be home. I like my bed, my refrigerator, my computer (and keyboard)and water aerobics.
I realize that being home means work, work and more work. But hey somebody has to do it.
But during my travels, I have reconnected with my brother and sister and enjoyed the company of many other family members. Speeding down the middle of the river on jet boats and flying over the sand dunes on 4 wheelers....whew, like I said I had a bunch of fun. Even sitting and visiting is quite the treat.
Vacationing is fun! I think I might try some more of it.

Destroy the evidence
My beloved grandmother passed away this past week. As we were sorting through her things, new info about her life was revealed to all in the room. Grandma eloped at age 18. Other sorted details are for family only.
So if you think you may be leaving mortality anytime in the near future and you have secrets. Destroy the evidence now!

Breaking News..Huber Heights Flu hits South Carolina
Share and share alike that's what I say. Of course, unless you are talking about germs that make you puke and .... . It is picking us off one at a time. What does that say about our immune system? We were all exposed at the same time, however we've all gotten it on different days. I will never go there again!

Cleaning or lack of
Does anybody know how to clean a house really good? It has gotten so bad I save the merry maid ad list of tasks they do, so I will know what I need to clean. Life gets in the way of a spotless house. I'm not sure I want to do much about that. Before children everything was cleaned and spotless, life has taken on a different glow or layer of dust I should say. Hope no one is allergic. Got to go make an attempt.
