Sunday thoughts....

When I heard about the passing of Whitney Houston, it saddened me.  I remember how she tried to make a come back, what was it last year?  She just couldn't sing the way she used to.   The bar she set was very high though as her young voice was angelic yet she could belt it out effortlessly.  Everyone expected the same performance from her...but it wasn't there.    One of the first things I thought about after hearing of her passing was that I bet she is really belting it out in Heaven like she used to....such a beautiful voice..such a beautiful lady...think I'll have to watch Bodyguard sometime soon.

It was actually snowing a little bit ago.  I looked outside and did a double take. Snow in this part of Texas is rare. It has already changed to rain now so that was short lived.  I thought we were already into an early spring last week as it got up to the low 70s a few days and the smell of spring was in the air...oh well, what can I expect in mid February?.. soon enough it will be Spring.

I am working toward a change in my life..I just have to work less. Period. Plain and well not so simple... The worst part about working 12-15 hours a day like I have for over 6 months now is that I've become conditioned to work so much.  No one should have to work that many hours in a day. It does not allow me to enjoy anything else in life.  I haven't even volunteered at the animal shelter since May due to either working every weekend or having so little free time that I don't wish to volunteer anywhere.  I am going to commit myself to stop working at a certain time each evening whether done or not and keep my eyes open for other opportunities.

I want to have a balcony garden again this year (hopefully won't have as many 100 degree days as we did last year), and I want to walk even more than I do.  And then consider trying to volunteer again.  And my hubby promised me a while back (watch him not remember) that he'd be willing to take ballroom dancing classes with me.  ;-)
