Are You Ready?

Begin where you are....right here....right now! Today is the right day, now is the right time.  If you wait for perfect day, the perfect time, the perfect person, the perfect situation-- you will never find it.  Honestly, what have you got to lose? Money, pride, a broken heart?  Money can always be earned, pride can always be restored, a broken heart can always be healed.  The only thing that can never be earned, restored or healed is a life that's been wasted waiting for the right moment to begin living it.

Love

To the find the kind of love you have always dreamed of......you must be willing to give that kind of love to someone else.  It won't work any other way.

Asparagus For Cancer

Article: Asparagus to Cure Cancer

Can asparagus cure cancer? I really don't know.  I have heard it shrinks tumors so it's worth a shot. 

My dad has colorectal cancer  and will begin radiation treatments and chemotherapy for the next three months, then radical surgery, followed by another six months of chemotherapy. He is 73 years old.  This is going to be the toughest fight of his life and a very rough year for all of us. 

We are feeding him asparagus three times a day! It certainly can't hurt.

Super Bowl Sunday

I love football. I absolutely adore Super Bowl Sunday. It's all about football and a great excuse for a party.  Everyone knows, I love a good party.

For the past several years, I would do just that. The plan for Super Bowl was arranged weeks in advance with all my friends.  Most of the time, we would be out all Saturday night, grab a few hours of sleep, meet at our local bar for Bloody Marys, and spend the entire day laughing, drinking, and eating.  Long after the game was over, I would still be hanging around, not quite ready to go home. I was having too much fun. Superbowl Sunday always evolved into this:

And right around sunrise, this would be me.

Work was always on the agenda the next morning and I would never dare call in sick.  I had to get a few hours of sleep and because I prefer my nice warm bed to the alternative....

Some how I would manage to get home in one of these. 




Thankfully, I was their best customer and all the drivers knew exactly where I lived because by that time, I certainly had no idea.



Miraculously, I never missed a Post- Super Bowl Monday at work but it wasn't easy.  I would be exhausted, hung-over and grouchy. Thank God for life savers:

This year, Super Bowl Sunday was different.  Of course plans were made, but I chose not to take part. My phone rang off the hook all day and night but I never answered it.  My friends left "Where the heck are you?" messages. This year, I decided to have a little party at home - a  nice, quiet, reserved afternoon and evening with my family.  You see, for most of my adult life I have always been too busy having fun to spend any real quality time this guy.....

......my wonderful dad who always has time for me.  Now that he faces the fight of his life with colorectal cancer, I don't know how many more Sunday afternoons I will get to spend with him.  There are no guarantees, no promises....just an overwhelming feeling to seize and enjoy the moments while I have them. Funny how priorities can change in an instant.

We laughed, we ate, we drank beverages that did not contain any alcohol, and enjoyed the game together. The next morning, I was well-rested and able to greet the day cheerfully.  No stress, no regrets, and no hangover!

And even though my team didn't win........... :(

It was the best Super Bowl Sunday I ever had.

Open Your Heart and Mind

With an open heart and an open mind, you have the power to understand, to forgive, to love, and to overcome every obstacle.....

And this is my Daily Cyn......

Free

I would rather be free to sing from the tallest tree and be heard by no one- than be trapped in a cage and be heard by everyone.

And this is my Daily Cyn...........

The Way Home......

If you want to come to my house, there are several different ways to get there-the long way, the short way, the back way, the road with all the traffic, the road without traffic.  Regardless of the path you choose- you will eventually arrive at the same destination- My House.

This rule applies to everything in life. There are so many ways to get where you want to go.  It doesn't really matter how you get there- as long as you get there.  So come on-- the lights will be on for you.
