As we flick the pages...





Again I ask myself how anyone is able to blog regularly! Then again others are likely to have much more interesting stories to tell than mine, although admittedly that would depend on the reader.

I begin with commenting on Chris Daughtry and his new hit called ‘it’s not over’ as I absolutely love this song. I like the lyrics of it and ‘his’ voice is happiness to my ears. Without mentioning the fact that I had the hots for Daugthry since his first appearance on American Idol I can confidently say that most women would agree with me that this man is absolute eye candy. Who said only men are visual!

On other topics…. does anyone ever wonder why “we” humans often choose to complicate life anymore than it already is? I’m not saying everyone lives like that but generally speaking the majority of people seem to apply that rule more often than not. Would it not be better and healthier for the whole planet if we could just try to be a little more ingenuous? Simplicity and innocence can sometime be a blessing. Personally I try to indulge on occasion, specifically because I find life to be a little sweeter that way and it works magnificently on mine.

One of my thoughts tonight as I rinsed my face was that in many ways I can be perceived as a slightly dysfunctional woman as I can occasionally be all over the place, disorganized, impulsive, and with no knowledge whatsoever over the use of filtering my thoughts before verbalizing them. I was also realizing that as a 34-year-old divorced-single-mom-babe raising an awesome seven-year-old boy, I am in fact, having the time of my life. Ok, not everyone has to agree with the “babe” description but this is MY blog and I can write whatever I want to!

Where was I? Oh yeah 34 year old babe raising an awesome boy:)

I may not be rich and not everything in my life is quite where I want it to be but I certainly consider myself a very lucky and overall happy woman. Clearly there is always room for improvements but at this very time I feel very blessed with my assigned seat on this ride we call life. I am convinced that we have the power to edit our own destiny but I’m also of the opinion that if you believe in a more spiritual sense you will also agree that perhaps a “written script” for you is already in place – you’re not necessarily the primary Writer if you will. Ah, I can already picture those who would argue with me on this, and I would be more than happy to debate my point.

If life were a painting right now I’d be looking at beautiful mimosa trees next to sparkling seas, quaint little outdoor cafes where soft, sweet music flows through the streets like a part of the very air you breathe. Starry nights filled with a familiar and transporting aroma making passionate history. And of course I’d be shining right in the middle of the painting, wearing a nice satin-white floating sun dress holding my earthy-brown sandals, and my long golden-brown hair would be flowing freely in front of my face blocking my view. Imminently I would walk into a pole, hit my nose and start bleeding all over my nice floating satin-white dress….
He he, totally ruined the painting didn’t I? I guess my poetry angle needs a little work;)

Speaking of poetry, I have to comment on the current Sopranos’ episodes. I can pleasantly admit that I am enjoying this last season very much so far, which is unlike last year's season as I was disappointed with how things went on. So far each episode has been very satisfying and it’s left me looking forward to the next episode every time. Now that’s some good writing Mr. Chase.

A few days ago on my way driving to work the song “It’s raining men” by The Weather Girls came on the radio and I quickly turned up the volume and started smiling. I believe the lyrics were oriented to “empower women” and this tune is audibly catchy and up-beat which make you want to run out of your car and enthusiastically start dancing in the middle of traffic while rain drops fall heavily on your face, hair, clothes… Until the cops show up and arrest me for indecent exposure and disturbance of the peace. Ha ha.

The important lesson in each one of our moments/days [the way I see it] is that we must remember to create a little happiness on our own and not expect others to do it for us, no matter how things are in actuality we should always be able to capture the positive and savour it without thinking too far ahead. I believe I’m doing just that, and it’s working ‘for me’ deliciously, at least for now.

What can I say, the ingenuous in me is able to often override the cynic and it allows me to continue to believe (and hope) that this planet of ours can improve - if only we tried, there could be more harmony. Never say never - I know that for a fact.
