Maybe what inspires me, might inspire you or at least make you pause for a second. I like to share things, from ideas to experiences to discoveries. I've always been resourceful as it has been labeled and I like to think of it as a gift, that I should share. It can be a take it or leave it kind of approach.
I've been called a Rebel (all bark and no bite), out of the box thinker, eclectic, or maybe is was eccentric, sort of the same thing isn't it? If you've ever had a conversation with me you know that I have a habit of digressing, which I think is another one of my endearing qualities. I can't help wanting to share all this stuff. So to make these journal entries easier to follow (at least easier than one of my verbal conversations, unless you are highly trained) the different "SoMe" tabs on the side will sort my thoughts. I hope that they help inspire, motivate, add reflection and maybe a chuckle to your day.
What you see is what you get
Well today marks another notch on my "life" pole...35 years to be exact. It was well celebrated with a wonderful dinner I must say...of stuffed Cornish hen with wild rice, mushroom and tarragon, mashed ginger sweet potatoes, green beans with shallots and roasted hazelnuts and a mango chutney. Accompanied with a glass of white wine and my 3 food critics and favourite company, who agreed that it was pretty yummy. Watched a movie with the honey which was good training for the new eye balls to practise focusing. I find that I like to do a little self reflection on the b-day and maybe it's because of my new found vision that my new mantra for my year is going to be "what you see is what you get"...and I don't mean settling...I mean excepting. That idea being applied to myself, my kids, my husband and all the other people that are in my life or touch it in some way. I like how it was quoted in the Happiness project for February. " I love_____, just as they are". The "just as they are" part is up to them...my role is to except, and love. We'll see how it goes, but the good intention is there and that's the first ingredient to this recipe and my resolve to the "socks", the ladies will know what I mean :)
Kim you make food and 35 look fantastic! Glad you had a great day! Happy Birthday... again :)
