Hubby bought way too much candy for Halloween and even with all the trick or treaters that came last night, we still have a lot of candy in the house. Even with me contributing and eating more than my share of candy, there’s still at least 5 unopened bags of candy on the counter. So what to do with all this candy?
I could eat them all myself one at a time, but then I have to work out twice as hard to make up for it. Besides, now that Thanksgiving is just around the corner, I gotta start cutting back on the sweets cause we all know how we tend to overindulge over the holidays. Wonder if anyone actually got sick from too much candy?
Anyway, can you believe 2009 is almost over? Seems like it was just yesterday we celebrated the dawn of 2009, and now we’re just weeks away from saying goodbye to it. Hope you have all had a great year this year. I know I’ve been pretty bad about keeping this blog updated but I started a new job, (which I really love), and somehow time just got away from me.
I’ve had an interesting year. Mostly good, but with some challenges along the way as well. Hmm, sounds a lot like life, doesn’t it. Can’t expect smooth sailing all the time. There’ll always be some rough weather to remind us that we are only human after all. Trials and challenges also help us to savor and be grateful for the good in life, the blessings that come our way. And most importantly, they help us to get off our high horse during those times when we sit in judgment of others. Come on, admit it, we’ve all felt something like that at one point or another in life. You know those times when you see the mess some one else has made of his or her life, or some one else’s kid getting into trouble. Haven’t we all secretly judged them? Perhaps, we’ve even said to ourselves something like, “that’ll never be me” or “that’ll never happen to my kid.”
One of my favorite quotes (can’t remember the source) goes something like this, “If but for the grace of God, that could have been me.” When I find myself becoming a tad too full of myself, I recite this to myself and it brings me right off my solofanua, ready to be the real me again, lol.
Happy Sunday friends, and hope you and yours are well and happy this fine day. Til next time, whenever that may be!
