I am totally workin’ for the weekends right now. Except my upcoming weekend is so jam-packed that it’s not going to be very relaxing….. but it will be fun (minus Saturday)!
- Tonight: Our friend Harry is coming over to watch the opening game of the world series (Go Phillies!)
- Thursday Night: Meghann and I are going to spin and yoga, and then we’re carving pumpkins and watching TV
- Friday: Our friends Lisette and Danny are coming into town
- Saturday: Bone Scan day (it takes about 6 hours)
- Sunday: The in-laws are staying overnight with us, and my future Mother-in-law and I are running wedding errands.
Eck!
I started off this morning with an interesting bowl of oatmeal:
My oatmeal contained:
- 1/2 cup oatmeal
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 sliced banana
- Toppings: coconut, brown sugar, Kashi Go Lean Crunch! kernels.
Between the coconut and the Kashi, it was a very unique blend of flavors and textures. Very satisfying!
What I Know For Sure
As you may have noticed, I’m a big fan of Oprah. Don’t judge her until you read her magazine, specifically the last column of each month’s issue, which is written by Oprah herself and entitled "What I Know For Sure." After two years of reading this column, I can attest that Oprah is a highly spiritual, caring, and insanely intelligent woman (yes, she actually writes each column).
This month’s column is the Top 20 things that she knows for sure, and I found myself so moved reading the list.
I wanted to share the very best with you…. I hope these mantras brighten your day or give you a new perspective on a challenge you are facing.
- What you put out comes back, all the time, no matter what.
- Whatever someone did to you in the past has no power over the present. Only you give it power.
- When people show you who they are, believe them the first time.
- If the only prayer you ever say is "thank you," that will be enough.
- Failure is a signpost to turn you in another direction.
- Love yourself and then learn to extend that love to others in every encounter.
The one thing I know for sure is: "Love should come first; it should be the beginning of and the reason for everything" (from "The Awakened Heart"). I truly believe the world would be a much better place if we all just extended a little more kindness to one another one. Judgement and hate have no place in my heart!
What do you know for sure?
FAAAABULOUS weekend ahead of you!!
Loooove your oats (but what else is new?? Haha).
Thanks for sharing some of the Top 20 list!!
What do I know for sure??? That life is a true blessing.
