Caught up in the whirl wind of life

It has literally been MONTHS since I last posted or even had time to think of posting anything.
Interestingly enough my last post back in April is where it actually begins.

I mentioned that I went to lunch at a restaurant called Atomic Ale Brewpub with my dad Kelly and nephew Liam and Lili my "kid". Well after that lunch I was curious if Atomic was on Face-book and poked around. I found them and proceeded to comment about how a "love it" button was needed for such wonderful places such as Atomic. Not sure if I mentioned it in my April post, but I worked at Atomic as a server from 1997 to 2000 and already had a partial bias to the place. Nevertheless I loved the food, the beer, and everything about it.

Well that little Facebook comment lead to my former boss contacting me and we chatted about our lives and where we've been, etc. And to my surprise and delight he inquired as to when I would be coming back to work for him. I wasn't sure what to think or what to say. I had some prior obligations to family members but really wanted to get back out there with people and of course have some extra change in my pocket and NOT feel guilty about a pedicure or eyebrow threading! *smiling at those splurges*

I quickly figured out a way to make the scheduling work to our benefits and a few short months later I was WORKING! Ah the feeling of interacting with new and different people throughout the week was refreshing and needed more than I even realized! I was steadily regaining my edge and flow of the business and it felt grand! Knowing I still had the strength and tenacity to hold on when it got crazy and not lose it was so exhilarating and comforting all at the same time. And knowing that I am able to still be there for my family is wonderful.

I am so much more busy now then I ever was before. I rarely have time to catch up on any of my favorite TV shows, all of which I have to DVR. I am becoming more and more unplugged from the electronic devices and more and more in tune with the lives around me.

I LOVE IT! And yet there are those moments when I have time to settle and relax and remember I have to, HAVE to put some of me first. And this is one of those 'me first' things I hope to reconnect with and integrate back into my daily if not weekly life. Among a few others, like getting back to the gym or starting yoga, again. And learning to meditate, even if it is only for 5 minutes. To get back into making weekly dinner menus and cooking them! I know myself I tend to get side-tracked and certain important things for me get lost and forgotten in the whirlwind of daily life. Well, today is a new day and tomorrow brings the opportunity to keep up the momentum.

I am making some new soulful and enlightening decisions, and with the help of my inner voice and the wisdom of some great influential and positive individuals I think I am on a good path to becoming a brighter, lighter, and more fabulous me.

So here's to taking it one moment, one choice, one situation at a time. To find my joy and bliss as often as I can when or where ever I can. To making the best out of whatever life shoots my way and to follow my instincts as I make the path to wherever I am meant to tread however long I am destined to.

May this moment right here, right now be one of many that I can repeat as often as I can and may it help to remind me when I feel like I am caught up in the whirlwind of life that I have some desires and goals that need attention and may it bring me back around much sooner than before so I can forge on and reach my dreams.
