Winding down

Monday, August 15, 2011

The day is nearly done and I'm home, dinner is over and now IT's Spark Time. Dinner was fried cabbage and a ear of corn, fresh from the garden.
The day went fast as I took off half a day Friday so today was catch up day.
It was a good weekend. Hope yours was good too.
This is a little late for me to be Sparking as I do that usually in the morning so I'm done for today. Have a good night.

Up and down today

Sunday, August 14, 2011

Boy is my mood acting up today. The sun is in and out and so is my mood. I go from being up to being down. Maybe church will help. Getting out of the house, getting in the fresh air and seeing other people should help. Then I will try to read a book a friend gave me. Reading is one of my hobbies. I haven't been reading as often as I like so I will try to fit in a few minutes of that today. Hope all is going well with you. Keep Sparking.

Some days are just that way but glad you were taking a few minutes to read...its on of my favorite things to do and am trying to get into doing it while biking...two birds and all. Hope you have a good week! Report Inappropriate Comment

Change of scenery does help. I live alone and find that just getting out can change my day when things feel stagnant. And just 10-15 minutes of sunshine-inspired Vitamin D absorbtion sure does some great uplifting magic. Hmmm.... maybe I shoudl leave home for 30 minutes to recharge my batteries!! (thanks for the idea!) Report Inappropriate Comment

Reading is always a great uplift for me. I just read "Heaven is for real" last night. It was wonderful and really makes you're mind work. Report Inappropriate Comment

Here's hoping you have a good day. The last of our company left the cabin this morning and I am both relieved and sad. While I love having them here they are lots of work! Report Inappropriate Comment

Keeping busy and enjoying things

Saturday, August 13, 2011

Today is Saturday and I have both work thing s and fun things planned. Hope they work out. It is cleaning house, doing laundry, the normal Sat things we do that we don't feel like doing during the week. Then I have a walk planned, a movie to see (the Help), and dinner out. I'm walking with one of my workout buddies and we've not seen each other all week so it will be lots of catching up on gossip, what we've been doing, etc. The sister-in-law will go to the movies and out to eat with me. I do hope this day works out as I plan to have fun! Hope your Saturday is a good one. Be sure to have fun and SPARK today.

Softie

Friday, August 12, 2011

The backhoe operators had a meeting this morning to discuss steps and pay raises and I took minutes. They wondered if they would be heard in the process of steps for promotion and raises. They wondered if the notes I took would help. I recorded the meeting for my use in transcribing the minutes and I told them they could listen to the tape if anyone needed to to refresh they memory on what they said. They wondered if their comments would do any good. I told them they could always try to get upper management to change things if they tried hard enough. They just needed reassurance they would be heard. My heart went out to them in their struggle for better pay. I'm a softie anyway.

Its nice to see what you are supportive of them while they are struggling too, but not at all surprised since you have been such a support to me too. Hope they get some good response from management and that you have a great weekend too! Report Inappropriate Comment

Satisfied

Thursday, August 11, 2011

I had a good day to day. Ate good healthy food and I'm satisfied. Still can eat 1 Weight Watchers Giant Chocolate ice cream bars, so all's well. Ice Cream is a great comfort food. Just do it in moderation, like all things.
There's already signs of fall coming here in Western North Carolina. The crickets are singing, the nights and mornings are cooler, the days are getting shorter and the nights longer. I think we are all ready for some cooler weather as the nation as a whole has been extremely hot. I am not looking for winter though, fall will be fine.
Hope you Spark Friends will have a very good night. Take Care and Keep Sparking.

Congrats on a good eating day and even getting a treat included. Enjoy the fall. Can't wait til it comes to central FL, but that will be probably another 2 or 3 months. Take care, Marsha Report Inappropriate Comment
