Right now I'm...

This morning I was thinking...

I have over 4,000 friends on my personal Facebook page. That's a LOT. Many are people I know in person or have done business with or had conversations and a history with. But, there are others that I know only through a few random status updates or posts. SO I decided to check into this a little more. I began randomly selecting blogs and shops to visit from people I was not terribly familiar with from my friends list and was pleasantly surprised at what I found.

I have always maintained that every single person has something of worth to share with the world and I guess I was sort of thinking about how they could share that with people.  THEN I started thinking about what I have to share and what people might want to know about each other. And THEN I began to wonder myself...how well do I know myself? How much time do I spend stopping and thinking about the very basics of my day. Soooo, in an effort to get to know myself a little better and to share that with you, I did a quick self inventory and am sharing it below. I would really LOVE for everyone who reads this to do the same. Do it on your own blog, but please let me know by leaving a comment here. 

I'm really pretty excited about it and hope I will get to know a bunch of pretty awesome people a little better.

Right now, I’m:

Wearing ~ comfy lounge pants and a big, ole tee shirt.

Drinking ~ my beloved necessary morning coffee. Today I'm trying a new creamer-Sweet Cream. Yummy!

Listening To ~ silence. Well, almost. Just a few birds getting ready for their day. I have a Robin who comes to the deck right outside the window where I work. She's there every day. Simple things. 

Wondering ~ what today will bring in the way of happiness, surprises and challenges.

Thinking ~ how great it is to be able to wake up to a day full of possibilities.

Feeling ~ a little overwhelmed. I have lots of things that need writing and each is so special I need to give it the attention it deserves.

Wishing ~ people were less skeptical of those trying to be helpful. Sometimes I feel that people are always suspect of random kindness. Sad, sort of.

Hoping~ I have it in me to make the best of whatever comes my way today.

Planning on ~ cleaning out a room in my house every day. I think I'll start with the laundry room.

Aggravated by~ my allergies. I woke up in the middle of the night sneezing. They're that bad!  And right now I feel like I have a big toe in my ear.

Most passionate about ~ helping other people. Almost to a fault.

Wanting ~ to be the most grateful person I can be. It seems lately I have been noticing sheer discontent and misery cloaking so many people I see. I wish they could be more grateful for what they do have. As bad as it gets, we all have much to be grateful for. Being happy takes effort. So does being unhappy.

Dreaming Of ~ a family vacation.

Wishing I was ~ free of debt, guilt and these last few pounds.

Wanting to be ~ more organized.

Needing ~ just a bit more time in each day (or better time management skills-ha).

Trying to ~ figure out a way for the kids to have some fun today with a thunderstorm on the horizon.

Wanting to try ~ to make my own laundry detergent with the kids. I saw a blog post on it and it looked pretty interesting. While I'm at it I would also like to learn how to make my own scrubs and soaps. If only there were more TIME!

Most thankful for ~ My family. Most importantly, our good health. It's so often taken forgranted. 

Giving up on ~ trying to make everyone happy.

HERE IS A BLANK LIST OF THE QUESTIONS SO YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE THEM TO YOUR BLOG. Add, subtract, alter, modify. Whatever you want. I am anxious to see what everyone else has going on today.
