So I'm thoroughly enjoying writing up a storm..whether or not I have any readers, it is a wonderful avenue for getting your thoughts out there...cathartic actually! It's Sunday. Love Sunday's ;) As I sit in my kitchen with the oven timer ringing, the drinking water tap running, oh..and my Husband tapping the bongo drums we have at the bottom of he basement stairs (gotta love 'em; everyone who comes over can't resist giving them a drum or two!), it can't get any better than this! Had my rrrroll up the rim coffee...still yet to win MY car or bike...I think with all the effort I put into winning (ahem buying) I should either have won or have stakes in the Company!). Sorry..keep getting side-tracked (for which I'm often am found scolding our Son over!!). Oops..did it again! Anyway, just putting it out there how simple things can really make you feel so good (taps and timers? Really?!). Yes. Really. It doesn't take much to make this gal happy (I think they call that a cheap date?!). So from there, it takes me to those we see on tv all too often heading into rehab from too much alcohol or drugs..or both. Or...the Whitney's and Amy Winehouse's of the World who are sadly gone too soon due to their addictions. Why is it with all their talent and money, so many Stars just can't keep it together. I love it when I see those in the world of Fame and Fortune, who seem to be enjoying a successful life with Family, Friends and so much success. They don't need all the junk of addictions and I wish more of those in the glitzy world of movies and music would take a leaf out of their novels and be the role models they should be. Why can't they handle their fame...and why can others? It's terribly sad - and I find frustrating - to see so many stars of late especially - falling to their problems. I have no idea where my writing will take me when I sit down to blog! Couldn't have foreseen that by sitting in my noisy, happy Kitchen that it would spark my pity for those who don't know what plain old Happiness is - the free kind! Well...taps and timers are off....time for me to grab my new crutches and hobble somewhere. There certainly IS an art to using them; I think I've taken down a person or two each day since being told to use 'em!! Hey..I cant do anything quietly...but...at least I'm graceful as I fall! Enjoy your day...enjoy the small things.....Give someone you love a hug...

Getting caught up on TV...

Here I am again! Most likely with more 'something about nothing!!). I've begun a blog at various intervals throughout the day whilst I lie in bed (bed ridden with an injury alas!), and each time had to stop for either a business call, eating (very important in my day!!),or Parent-Teacher night at School! But...with each interruption has come a better topic for me to write about! Do you ever watch Ellen? I am getting in the loop with daytime tv (sigh...would really be out there doing useful things and not being forced to watch tv during the day..yes!! I mean that!). However..all my rambling is getting to the point I want to make - and that is: what a generous, giving Person she is! I have found myself smiling every time I watch her..from the dance at the beginning (NO ONE dances once they hit a certain age....I LOVE the fact that she brings the inner dancer out in people! More people should just have fun like that! But...it's the giving which really touches me. Today it was a girl who loves Justin Bieber....long story very short: she surprised her at the Studio with the real Justin Bieber. From there she then surprised Justin with gifts since it was his 18th Birthday. Justin Bieber himself: did you even KNOW how much time he gives to young Fans - with Make a Wish etc??? This guy makes the day of so many ill children! I have finished watching the shows each time with a renewed sense of knowing I need to do more for others in need. If I I weren't stuck in my room currently (don't get me wrong...love our bedroom but have had enough of it currently and am ready to run somewhere with my hair flying behind me in the wind...(well...that sorta sounds like my hair is a separate entity...but you get my drift, eh?!), I'd be out there doing something more. More people should watch Ellen to become inspired (and totally entertained along the way also!) and this World would be on its way to being a better, happier, more giving place. On a side note...I really do love blogs...my grammar doesn't have to be perfect!!! Go out and do something for someone: as they say - when you give...you really do receive. (well...something like that.....).... Stay well this next time!
