Simply Satisfying Friday

There is something about the word simple that makes me feel at ease.

I’m not sure why it makes me feel that way but it does.

Simple.  As in streamlined.  As in efficient.  As in making sure that a lot of superfluous stuff doesn’t get in the way of finding a well worn path to tranquility.

As in breaking down complicated situations and keeping them simple.

It’s a word that I hang on to when life gives me a lot to handle.

Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that information overload is currently the ongoing theme … Read More

Friday Is Special

March 4th, 2016

Fridays are special and let me count some of the reasons why: — end of the work week — beginning of the weekend — hopeful — full of possibility — triggers need to hum, sing, dance or all three! — time to get together with family or friends — relax by thinking of inspiring thoughts such as the following two I recently discovered: Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you. ~ Lao-Tzu I do not at all understand the mystery of grace… Read More

    Yes! We have landed on Friday and it feels great right? To start Friday off in the right way, a friend shared a quirky and funny CBC Radio Wire Tap video with me and now I’d like to share it with you because that’s what friends do. If you have a little over four minutes, please watch this video until the end because there is a guy who really made me laugh and I think he will have the same effect on you. Have a great weekend and feel free to share this with your other friends! You… Read More

I’m blowing my nose and coughing while waiting for the Airborne to dissolve in a glass of water. Ugh! I have a cold. But I’m going to carry on and I’m so thankful that it’s Friday. How are you doing out there?  Glad for the week to end? Here we go with a song to inspire us today and keep us going! It’s a classic blast from the not too distant past: Destiny’s Child sings Survivor which is what I intend to do and you and I can hang in there until it’s quitting time at work and then relax… Read More

Just in the nick of time my good friends, Friday has arrived on the scene. And not just any Friday, but a Friday leading us into a three day holiday weekend.  YES! I work hard, just as you do, and I also take a lot of pride in the work I do.  But at the end of the day, work is work and everybody needs a break from it.  I am not one of those people who subscribe to the idea that if I put in long hours at the desk or computer I will get more accomplished.  To me,… Read More

Dance Walking

I don’t know about you, but now that the weather is getting a little warmer and I’m shedding my layers of winter, I’m feeling way out of shape. Too much time spent sitting in front of the computer.  Too many afternoons noshing on comfort food. A new season means moving is the name of the game for me and I think this You Tube video below showing how to Dance Walk is the perfect way to kickstart some outdoor motion and burning off those almighty calories! Even if you don’t need to tone up, check out this Dance Walk video… Read More

A Happier Friday!

Something as simple as the day of the week can make me happy. I didn’t even work five days this week because Washington, DC got so much snow on Monday that the federal government shut down, the buses weren’t running and just like that, I had the day off. Still, today is Friday and that feels soooooo great!  The grind of this week is almost over and the weekend is within sight. Friday evening is one of the best feelings in the world, don’t you think? You’ve just finished working through one work week and now the whole incredible weekend… Read More

Freezing Friday

Wow!! What a week! Between the snow, the ice and the polar vortex of winds hitting the Washington, DC area, it’s seems as though it’s been a battle of the elements every day.  Fashion has definitely gone by the wayside and staying warm is the priority.  Sometimes the sun is out but I’m not feeling too much difference in the temperature. I am not really a winter person at all but this chilly cold season does teach me to be comfortable with the uncomfortable.  I can’t change it so I’ve got to go with it and get on the other… Read More
