Thankful: Music #XD31
For me, music is as effective as medication. It centers me the way meditation does for others. I’m usually listening to music while I’m completing daily tasks.
It’s my normal…my sanity.

Grateful: Honey Whiskey #XD31
Vodka used to be my girl, but somewhere in our relationship, I fell out of love with her. Soon after, a friend introduced me to honey whiskey and I’ve been in love ever since.
To me, honey whiskey is really smooth with a sweet, but not overly sweet, aftertaste. It tastes great alone, but it’s awesome in honey chamomille tea.
Cheers.

Public Service Announcement: Tea Time
Folks feel some kind of way when their tea (aka personal business) becomes storytime (aka tea time) for the kids.
If you feel that your tea is being spilled amongst the masses, you shouldn’t be putting the water into the pot.

My bestie LVC said it best. “If you yourself enjoy a nice high tea every now and then, you should be prepared to be a special on the menu once in a while.”
Pinkies up. Tea is served.

Thankful: Intuition #XD31
Intuition is the invisible flag. It sounds invisible, yet panicky alarms warning of approaching danger. Responding is optional; however, it’s in my best interest to do so. All it took was one time for me to find out what happens when I tell the alarms and the flags to cut it out.
Complete and utter disaster.

Thankful: Peacefully Quiet Refuge #XD31
I live alone. After enduring noise all day, all I want to do is to relax in the peacefully quiet refuge that is my home.
At times, it’s a struggle. Peacefully quiet refuge isn’t cheap. On the other hand, I cherish quiet time too much to split rent and utilities in half.
No thank you.

Grateful: 5 p.m. M-F #XDR
During the weekdays, I look forward to 5 p.m. EST as soon as I wake up. I do my time at work and as soon as 4:59 p.m. hits, I’m packed up and ready to haul ass out the door. Yes, it’s that serious. I know I’m not the only one that feels that way.

Thankful: Journal #XD31
You hold all of my secrets, fears, random thoughts, and memories. When emotions become so heavy that sleep is no longer peaceful, I share all with you.
I keep you hidden. Others won’t understand the contents of your pages, judging what they see on the surface.
I’m thankful for the volumes that silently hold so much.

Thankful: York Peppermint Patties #XD31
Dark chocolate on the outside with a cool mint sensation on the inside. Mmmm…I love York Peppermint Patties. It’s just enough chocolate and mint to satisfy a chocolate craving. Here’s a tip. If you put them in the freezer, they taste awesome! Just let them warm up in your hands for a bit before yo rip the wrapper off.
All praises to the candy gods.

Grateful: Plans B & C #XD31
Lesson learned: Never put all of your eggs into one basket. Plan A doesn’t always work. It happens. If you didn’t already have a backup plan waiting in the wings, you’ll be left scrambling. In some cases, you may even need Plan C.
I’m grateful for the many Plan Bs and Cs that have saved my ass from disaster. If it weren’t for them, I can’t imagine where I would be. Let me finish this before I break out in song over the goodness that are Plans B and C.
The end.
