TEN NUTSHELLS
1. I never stop thinking. Ever.
2. I get a kick out of doing things people say I can't do.
3. The Loner: I'll go to the movies, a restaurant, sit in a bar with no makeup on with a baseball cap and drink a pitcher of beer. I don't care, I'm good with me.
4. My sense of humor is whacky, ironic, cynical and sometimes satirical...and yet, I'm a considerate person. If you know me, then you know how they mix and what makes 'being April' so much more fun than John Malchovich ::winks::
5. I like big trucks. You know, the kind that can pull a semi WITH the hairy beer belly in the cab. Has to have 4-wheel drive, big tires (four is plenty) and not sit on the ground as if it's waiting for an elderly man to climb in. I'm talking WOOF! That's one bad truck, and when I go to the gas station - woe to the idiot that says, "Yer husband let you drive his truck?"
6. I'm the master of my own destiny. If I want to be sad, there will be plenty of self-pitying, self-loathing music I can listen to. Plenty of friends that will bend their ear graciously, while rolling their eyes on the other end of the phone ("Are you done yet?" - Done What? "Done feeling sorry for yourself?" -Yep, I am.) Conversely, if I choose to feel uplifted, all I have to do is crank my stereo (something more on the lines of "Bubbly" by Colbie Caillat) , stand in my yard and lift my hands to heaven. I personally think, that doing so in the buff doesn't make you a 'pagan.' Infact, whatever your religion - that alone is one of the most spiritually grounded things I can think of.
7. I love my home, and my yard. So does my dog, and I love him too. Mambo is a big cool dude. He's a 100+lb dancer that likes to rest his head on my hip and lean against my leg. We're buds.
8. God has blessed me with the opportunity to be a mother. To learn and grow, along with the precious spirits that he has entrusted me with as Teacher. He has given me some beautiful friends, my husband being amongst those for whom I am most grateful.
9. I don't medicate myself with prescriptions. I know my body is a temple, and if I defile it, it will crumble. IT was meant to be fed well and get exercise. What a machine! Amen.
10. I love the rain on my face, the wind in my hair, and singing loudly when nobody else is listening. Don't sneak up on me, I will hurt you!
But you know, that doesn't near cover it...
Girl's Gotta Be Real~
I'm listening to the still small voice. The one that knows me, as a mixed bag of fabulous and not-so-shiny moments. The one who loves me anyway. Take me, or leave me...this is what you get. And I'm not hiding anymore!
I'm shaking off the mantle, kicking down the picket fences, using my apron as a picnic blanket. I'm pulling up my sleeves, grabbing my spiritual shovel, and digging in. This soil is good, and I'm in a mood to plant something beautiful here.
"Happiness depends more on the inward disposition of mind than on outward circumstances." ~Benjamin Franklin
It is what I see in myself, and what I want to be that is most exciting. The thought that I could become such a thing, causing the universe to act in my behalf is an awe-inspiring thought. What great feats, what great souls that I might come to know, only if I am worthy of such greatness. This is the inspiration that feeds my dreams at night and gets me out of bed in the morning. ~ ME!
A truly strong person does not need the approval of others any more than a lion needs the approval of sheep.
Inner liberty can be judged by how often a person feels offended, for you can no more insult a mature man than you can paint the air. ~ Vernon Howard
"The Promised Land always lies on the other side of the wilderness." ~ Havelock Ellis
