End of the Month (EOM) Blog

Wow, it seems like it was Christmas just yesterday. I don't know where this month went, but the last day of January is already here. It reminds me of a job I had in my youth when I worked at The Broadway Department Store. We used to have an End of Month (EOM) sale where clearance items were put out at greatly reduced prices, but only at the end of the month.

Anyhow, since this month flew by and I only blogged once, I was thinking maybe this will become an EOM blog. I hope not, but of late my mind has been so focused and engaged at work, I am finding that I don't have the mental energy to write on my blog, or even read blogs, and I love reading lots of different blogs. But lately, it is only once or twice a week when I read blogs, and it is obviously less that I am posting.

I still feel like a newbie when it comes to blogging, so maybe I will figure out how to get in a groove of posting on a regular basis, even if it is only once or twice a week. I really hope this does not become an EOM blog!

Thursday Thanks

I am thankful for growing older and, I hope, somewhat wiser.      I am thankful that I have learned that, for the most part, whatever I decide to do right now in exchange for delaying something on my "to do" list is okay.      I am thankful that I am good with knowing that sometimes I am cranky, sometimes I am silly, and sometimes I am just a pain in the ass!      I am thankful that I don't need everyone to like me and I don't have to pretend to like everyone else.      I am thankful that I have learned that the only friendships worth pursuing and maintaining are those that make my life better and that it is okay to let go of the ones that don't.     I am thankful that lots of people give me second chances even if I don't always do the same.     I am thankful that tomorrow is a promise waiting to unfold even if today totally sucked.     I am thankful for simple things even if life's complexities overwhelm me.     I am thankful for variety even as I return to old favorites.     I am thankful that I realize that perfection is just a word in the dictionary and that my life is great even though it is far from perfect.     I am thankful.
