Drudgery ?

Life can become repetitive, yes it can, the same old routine, same people, same tired old jokes, same complaints, and boy are their negatives. It seems that the whole day is spent dealing with the problems of others, or the dissatisfaction(s), you yourself are experiencing.

It is true that often our lives are regulated, or for whatever reason, our days are compartmentalized. We develop routines, we make or are put on a schedule, this leads to deadlines, objectives, goals, and on and on it goes. What we do is monitored, evaluated, assessed and rated.

What we eat, the cars we drive, the clothes we wear, everything it seems comes off some kind of production line, assembly line, processing station, and yet we don’t know or realize that we have let our own lives replicate a mechanical and programmed “lifestyle”

Oophs, what happened here, LOL … a time shift, this was a picture taken for a community post by Nat Fabman in 1954 (Life Magazine) of a Fresno dairy farmer (Arch Badertscher) milking his cows alongside his two farm cats, Blackie and Brownie. A little playfulness in the day, sort of gives a warm fuzzy, and a bit of a smile. The first few pictures, didn’t do much for you did they?

Sometimes, NO, not sometimes, on a regular basis, we have to STOP and get off the treadmill, and get out to explore, and smell the roses(flowers} no one else can do it for us. When we repeatedly do the same things day after day, life gets stale, and we find ourselves in a rut.

Usually the fences and walls we find around us, were man-made (look in the mirror). John Wayne was said to have started his day by saying,”yes, looks likes it is going to be another fine day” no matter what… begin your day in a positive way, and work towards carrying that thought with you throughout the day.

really! recycled smiles….

Why not, some of these funnies have been going around for years, when I got a package of them this morning, I thought why not share. The talented cartoonists and illustrators captured in one “picture” what might take pages to say otherwise..

When I was younger (much younger and starting to work full-time) I remember having similar thoughts, about being old enough to make my own decisions, and someone, usually my Mother, trying to reason with me on various matters. It is only when I got much older did I realize how right she had been. I didn’t think so at the time though. When we are young we think that the experiences we have and the challenges we face are soooooooo unique.. in reality, we all fall in love, we are all at some time left feeling lost and lonely, and we all have a tendency to forget that each and every other person in our lives has known the same pangs of emotions we have.

This next one… the moment I saw it, several people came to mind that I love dearly, but immediately their faces sprang up when I “reacted” to this illustration .. No two people are alike, and it is not always about a person’s mannerisms, looks or method of conversation that keep us friends, it is their loyalty, sincere friendship, & the willingness to accept us as we are.

A relationship worth having is one that experiences the highs and lows of life in a way that respects the differences and accepts the adventure of life in a way that is compatible with yours.

No Kidding!

Make this a happy day..

Love you !!

in box chuckle

Every morning, part of the wake up routine is that before the dogs get fed and let out, I turn on the computer so it can do its thing and be ready for me when i get back into my office. “efficient use of time” I feed the dogs, and wander back into the office with my huge over-sized mug of very cold water. This was part of a message I got from a friend today.

At first I just stared at it, humour isn’t one of my strong points, then the funny bone kicked in and …… well …… I couldn’t resist sharing it with you. There were several such pictures, I’m sure you are all familiar with this type of e-mail.. They must land on in your in- boxes as much as they do mine, probably more so, since I’m known for my lack of humour. This is the only other one I’ll share with you, because it too, gave me cause for reflection.

How we start our day, often sets the tone for the rest of the day/night. If we get up thinking, omg! another day of sunshine and blue skies, it will be soooo hot outside. and list off all the negatives of how you perceive your day will be… then you are programming your self to look for and “complain” about each new discovery you make. On the other “paw” if you wake up and see the sun shining on the ice formed on the tree branches outside your window, and enjoy the beauty of the diamond like rays of light that reflect off the ice crystals, and see the floating hazy mist that is drifting by on a blast of wind and think of how nice and crunchy the snow will be underfoot while you trundle off to work, your mood will be much more positive. When you greet others you will be more likely to have a happy positive tone in your voice. Guess what…. a happy greeting and a smile, will reward you with a cheerful nod or greeting back.

OK … LOL this will be a most interesting day… I keyed in crunchy snow, and I got this… a recipe for snow pea pods It wasn’t what I was looking for but it was so yummy looking .. this dish was grilled but “me thinks” it will make a great salad. Cherry tomatoes, Parmesan and GARLIC. (erecipecards.blogspot.com ) .. below is the crunchy snow.. =^_^=

Where-ever you go, what ever you do today, Make it a day you’ll remember, Make a determined effort to share sunshine and happiness with others. A wishy washy attitude will not give you a good st art to the day. Be proactive and positive. YOU CAN DO IT!

Decadent

If you are a chocolate lover, is this cuteness enough for you =^_^= All my bunny lover pals, will find this sooooooo cute. On the other hand, I know that my chocolate buddies will want a little more drool …=^_^=

This brownie pie takes an hour and a half to make, and serves 10 – 12 people. I look in awe at such a decadent delight, #1 I’m diabetic and can’t indulge, #2 a whole hour and a half to prepare something that even if I tried would never look like that ( I am not a baker) I can still admire the talent and dedication it must have taken to put this together, and then artfully display it. Wow. Same applies to the pancakes, that is so creative..

A picture says it all, Angel food cake French Toast, cream cheese and strawberry syrup. Says it serves six, now is this one serving that is shown here? or do we have to share??? Have I found your taste buds yet? I know all these decadent offerings and all before lunch time. below This is what I had in mind when I started my search. Noodle dishes! big fat juicy shrimps! Bonus if its spicy. I know, I know, noodles/pastas are not good for the blood sugar counts. %>(

Do I cheat, yes I do. There are days when I just can’t resist the urge to have something that is totally decadent and sinful. I’ve learned that it happens, and once I feed my determined taste buds, they are satisfied I didn’t ignore them, I allowed them “voice”, they are content to take a back seat. Moderation.

This is what I call truly decadent, this dish and versions of it, I’d eat everyday . Crunchy Asian Salad with peanut dressing, Why all this talk of food, I guess it’s because the last few days I’ve heard so much talk of people wanting to lose weight, go to the gym more often and and and. It almost sounds like they are unhappy with what they have become…. Starting a new year, or new day isn’t about depriving yourself, it’s about living your day to the fullest and being as happy as you can be. Happy people, tend to be healthier, happy is a stare of mind and BEING,.

Every morning when we wake up, appreciate that you are alive, we have a day ahead to enjoy. If you wake up and already you are pushing negative thoughts out into the Universe, then you are more likely to have a crappy day. I agree it isn’t always easy to be cheerful and positive, but if we truly want to be happy, we will look at creative ways to make happy happen.
