.....and so passes another day

Friday...where shalt thou begin about Friday? Soooo many events, yet not enough to be noteworthy. I will give you the Cliff Notes version, so that I can proceed with what I really want to discuss:

• Crimson Tide (tidal wave, "even")
• Reversal of energy (relationship wise)
• Weee-Oh-wee-o-wee "like a cop car"
• Mixed drinks in the hood
• Book Club Holiday Dinner
• Is my time, not enough? How about I give you the whole 24 hours? (in case you missed it)
• "I don't want to sleep on that side of the bed"
• Finally asleep at around 3 in the morning

Now that I have given you a tid bit of my day; let me get right down to a few points-
Yesterday was the elected day of the Ladies of Laissez Faire Book Club to have our holiday dinner. That name was selected, because I believe in the French way of "let the people do as they please" way of life. I am very free spirited; so of course, in selecting a name, this one felt fitting. Our book club is filled with women from all different walks of life and experiences. Everyone is so sweet, dynamic, colorful and creative in their own way. I love them all very dearly. Anyway, I didn't at all feel like doing dinner at the fancy-smancy place that I selected for us. It was just one of those days that I would have loved to stay curled up under my blanket in my bed. It seemed as though everything was completely out of whack. I tumbled into the fine dinning establishment, late, tired and completely shuffled. What an embarassment, I thought. It was only after we all sat down, that I quickly realized that everyone was tired and feeling quite ruffled and didn't really feel like being at this establishment. Well, one of the BCS (Book Club Sisters) suggested a more down to earth place to commune, in the vacinity. You should have seen us ladies, all in black...tipping out of the restarant and hoping (heels and sore toes) and all trotting down the thruway. It must have looked so funny. Anyway, once we were finally seated and the margaritas were delivered; we were more in our eliment and ready to chat-it-up. About three hours later, after funky gift exchange and an interesting chat about facebook's application called Cafe' World, and the restarant turning the lights up on us....it was finally time to go. I am glad that I pushed my weary body to get there and enjoy some good conversation and laughs.

Well, here I am, present and ready for Saturday...even though we are clearly, smack dab into the afternoon. My day has already been quite eventful. Of course the morning was spent with the Honey, laughs, frustrations, unclear conversation; etc...the usual E&E shit.

Oh yes, I learned of some interesting info today. When I first got the news, I had about 16 different and very mixed emotions. But, once logic set in and bust emotion in the throat; I began to see things a bit more clearly. I have learned that trust is a double edged sword. It takes time to gain, but only a few moments to lose. It's just how this thing works. Now, I am reminded by something that almost everyone has heard, usually by someone older; it is, "birds of a feather flock together". -OR- "show me your friends and I will tell you, who you are". If all of your friends are crooks, cheaters, liars, procrastinators; etc...who else would be comfortable with them, unless you too were one of those things? Just a th0ught; and of course; there are exceptions to every rule.

Moving right on by that passage, making a left turn at the effin light....I am getting closer and closer to getting my life in a progressive order. Of course, I still have a slew of changes which need to be made, but I am utilizing faith, positive reinforcement and meditation to help get me over this hurdle. I used to make 17,865 New Years Resolutions at the start of a new year. But this time, I am just working on me! There are people they will probably never hear from me again. Interestingly those people wont be warned at all, one day they will just wonder "where is Liz?" I am now in the "winter" shed all my leaves until I am back at "one" spirit so that I can see a clear path to my destiny. I am very slow to make decisions. Very slow to act on anything that I am not certain of, because I don't want to look back at in 5 years and feel regret. I haven't regreted anything as of yet and I certainly don't plan on it....Hmmm, let me "selah" for a moment and imagine me at 35....NNN-TUR-ES-TING! LOL

Well, allow me to leave you with a few things:

1. Being upset takes way more energy than being happy. I am entertained, and struck with pity when I see people who can allow such small things (especially other people) to alter their mood. Are you hearing (reading) me? You let someone else, outside of your body, alter who you are!! It's crazy. If the matter wont matter a day from now, a year from now, 3 years from now....choose to let it go and roll on. So, when you find yourself about to get upset, stop and think about it for a moment and react accordingly....

2. Tears are NOT a sign of weakness. It is the body's way of releasing whatever it is that we feel. Our bodies are like any other funnels or filters. If the filter gets too full, it will burst and even scarier, become inoperable. So, it's best to let that crap out. If you are filled with joy, shed a tear. If the pain is too much to keep inside...hell, don't polute your temple, shed a few tears. When you let the overflow out, you make room for what you really need inside.

PS- I thank everyone for reading my blogs. I would like to see these passages become a book about me and my inner-circle. Just keep reading, you will be able to relate. Share your comments so that I know your take on what I post.

Happy effin Saturday!!
