A Stressful Day...

Had a stressful day today. Stress can drain the energy right from you. You can't even think straight. I think I am going to call it a night. I am hoping that tomorrow will be a better and I am hoping that the week will be better.

I feel much like this Care Bear.

A strange looking tree...

Yesterday, while I was out walking, I encountered a strange looking tree that looked it had cotton candy growing from the branches. I don't know what the name of the tree is.

Flowers of Spring and Summer...

After a long grueling winter, the warm weather came back and so did the flowers. The beauty speaks for itself.

It has been eternity...

It has been a long time since I have posted. I have been busy with life, work, and health issues. All is okay now. I need to get back into the swing of things. A while back, I decided to merge my two blogs: "Moods and Afterthoughts" and "Seeing things at Random" into one, because it would be easier to work with. With everything going on, I just did not have the time to work on the merged blog. But I need to make the time, as I need to start working out again (another thing that I let slide and I need to make the time for as well). Let the posting begin!

Coincidences...

Finally opened a fortune cookie that I got with a takeout a couple of weeks ago.  The fortune reminded me  of a scene from a Seinfeld episode.

It's been a long winter...

Today was nice in the 50s today, but this month and before, it has been cold. I think it has been the coldest winter in a long while (haven't felt this cold in eight years). Last month it snowed for a day (January 25th) and I took some pictures. I hope winter is coming to an end and spring is arriving. The signs are already there: sun is setting later in the day, some flowers are (roses and daffodils) are blooming, and Girl Scout cookies have arrived.

New Years Resolutions, if I can keep them...

Last year I made several resolutions for 2012. I seemed to only keep numbers eight and nine. I really did not get to keep the others very well.  Here is my list of resolutions for 2013:

1. I should always make time for exercise, even if I am not in the mood, I need to make the time. My muscles are starting to ache from the lack of exercise.
2. I need get at least 8 hours of sleep, drink plenty of water, cut down on the carbs, just only drink two carbonated beverages a day, and remember to practice portion control.
3. Always think positive!
4. If I want it to be a good day, it is up to me to make it a good day.
5. Keep in touch more with family and friends 
6. Cut down on computer/internet time.
7. Read more books.
8. Keep on making jewelry and start experimenting with other crafts (cross-stitch) 
9. I should not overload my mind on so many things, and only concentrate on the most important thoughts.
10. Always remember that life is short. 

Wishing Everyone a Happy 2013!!
