This Monday thing is getting tiresome, ya know?

Could be worse... a fellow worker thinks of Monday through Friday as a series of Mondays.

As Mr. T used to say: "I pity the fool!"

It could be worse... it could be a Nor'wester today.

Happy late Easter!

I know a woman. Very sweet. Works in a thrift store I occasionally go to. We've become friends on FB. She was married a few months ago. Not her first rodeo, she has children from her previous trip down that aisle.

She didn't know the guy too long... he swept her off her feet. And now she is paying the price. He rarely wants sex, just someone to cook, clean and work. She's so frustrated that she's even flirted with this old guy a few times. She is a really nice looking gal, with gorgeous, melt your heart blue eyes.

So sad. I do feel for her... I was trapped in a loveless marriage once myself. There are ways to fix the situation though, the best (and least likely to have one wind up in jail) being divorce. Why allow yourself to be continually beat up emotionally?

As Paul Simon said in the old song: There are 50 ways to leave your lover.

Two ways to close this out. Run while the running is good, or don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

Sometimes a simple act of kindness can make a person's day. When it happens to me, my smile is broad and lasting... and I can't contain my enthusiasm to want to say thank you, then pass it along.

RAIN! Nothing can dampen my smile, though. I work today then I have THREE days of freedom.

AHHHHHHHHH...

Rain... what did you think I meant?

... is a cup that is never empty.

Life is not all hearts and flowers, but we have to TRY to make it that way.

Negativity, even disguised as sarcasm is not the path to follow.

Smile more, compliment often, do kind things for others... even strangers.

Create a ripple effect!

... who needs 'em? EVERYONE. If you don't have any friends, you're walking down a scary road all alone.

My old friends have either moved away or gone with different social circles. I'm a working joe and the rest went for money and/or fame.

My closest friend now is a kid 30 years younger than me that I work with. We talk about everything under the sun but don't socialize because he's a single parent and a recovering alcoholic/drug addict.

Takes all kinds, ya know?

A good steak, fine liquor and a beautiful nymphomaniac.

At least the first two are obtainable.
