Where is that section in the card aisle?
LOL
While I must admit that I need to tell myself that....
You have anyone who is in need of a "Get Over It" card?
What would the inside of the card say?
...happy late night Tuesday!!

Thought of the Week: 10/19/09
"Hanging onto resentment is letting someone you despise live rent-free in your head."
- Ann Landers
Hello blog world! Been a long minute....this week's TOTW is inspired by my recent interactions and encounters with WonderWoman & StutteringStan. I blogged about them back in August in a TOTW post. Well WonderWoman has finally left StutteringStan. She is actually sticking to it and has been for going on 2 maybe 3 weeks. Now on one hand I am very happy for her...I think she needs to be alone..to find herself again. On the other hand however, I am noticing and feeling this angry, hateful, resentful woman...this bitter woman. When I say I can feel it, I mean it's radiating off of her like heat whenever his name comes up. Usually, she's the one that brings his name up or makes a comment about it. Her exact words are usually, "I hate him. He is a liar, and he is just shady." She uses the term "shady" a lot when it comes to describing him. She also always seems to have an "update" of some sort about him...a "did you know that he got such and such phone number"...or if I say something simple like "hey we should get together some time catch up"...I get this look of caution then "why? you going to tell me something about StutteringStan?"...
So this week/weekend 2 major events happened. It was her birthday celebrating weekend...which is a blog for another day and another topic. The other event is while I was at work, StutterringStan ended up talking to me about their situation...his side of the story. Now, after hearing him out (which mind you, I did not seek him out...we small talk at work, I asked how he was doing then it just went from there) I got a little more perspective on the situation and a feel for who StutteringStan is. I didn't devulge any information WonderWoman shares/shared with me, nor did I applaud or cheerlead his point of view. StutteringStan explained that he really loves WonderWoman. He knows his part in the failure of their relationship, takes responsibility, and also told me emphatically that he has never ever cheated on her. Do I believe him? I believe his genuine heart and care for WonderWoman. I believe he's made mistakes, to the extent, I don't know. Now, after this conversation, I wasn't going to run back and tell WonderWoman. I knew how she'd read into it, and StutteringStan didn't devulge anything to me that was "new" news or anything serious. StutteringStan told WonderWoman he talked to me....and of course, she took it to the next level of the next level. On my way out from work, I stopped at the desk like I usually did and asked how she was doing and that we should catch up. Immediately it was "Why?...He told me that he talked to you, and I was pissed...I told him to stop doing that...stop talking to my friends...now I won't be able to talk to her (meaning me) without feeling uncomfortable." Needless to say my face remained calm but inside I was like "WOOOOOOOOW". So since then, even at her birthday, she barely says anything to me now.
So this week I encourage you to "evict" anyone living rent-free in your head. Ultimately, the only person you are hurting is yourself. While at first it may feel liberating...and offer a sense of vindication, it's only temporary, a superficial sense of satisfaction. When you let that resentment fester too long, you begin to become someone that eventually people do not want to be around. The real vindication and liberation is moving on and creating something new...something better of and for yourself.

"Follow effective action with quiet reflection.
From quiet reflection will come even more effective action."
- James Levin
Hey there blogosphere!! This week's TOTW is a short and simple one inspired by my rejuvenated focus since returning from vacation. I not only spent this time to enjoy myself and visit with friends, but to also re-energize my mind and spirit.
Every now and again we all just need a break...whether big or small, taking time for yourself is always important. It's kind of like when you start working out, and you start seeing results. You at some point reach a plateau. You need to take a break...change up your routine. For instance, if you've ever done or seen P90x, you have 3 weeks of hard core training, and 1 week off.
So this week, I just encourage all of you to see the value of taking a break. Sometimes to get ahead faster you just need to slow down. In all the chaos of regular life, it is easy to lose focus....become stagnant or lost in the routine. Make some time for a little R&R my blog family! Clarity will surely follow....

Bet You Didn't Know
- Brandy or Megan Rochell
bet you, bet you, bet you didn't know it
baby your picture's still hanging up on my wall
and i still get butterflies when i think of where you are
there are thoughts at the corner of my mind
i remember what it was to be completely in love
and you told me to give my heart away
and start over brand new
that it wasn't working between us
you couldn't love me like i needed you to
but there are things that you don't forget
i would give my last to get into your head
did you know how much i think about you still
i bet you don't thatyou're still on my mind
i bet you don't that
i think about you all the time
i know that we moved on
and yes it's been so long
i bet you don't that
i bet you don't that
bet you, bet you, bet you didn't know it
well it's hard to believe that it's so fresh on my brain
somedays how i feel like we broke up yesterday
but now so many things have changed
who's got your heart these days
i wish for you the best of everything
but you still don't understand
because i never thought i'd see the day, there was no you
was like being in another sad movie, couldn't get through
and there are so many things that you don't know about me
still in a the morning making coffee in the same routine
this is what i think about in my thoughts if they ever came out
they would sayi bet you don't thatyou're still on my mind
i bet you don't thati think about you all the time
i know that we moved onand yes it's been so long
i bet you don't thati bet you don't that
you thought that i was so unmoved
and you thought i didn't care (care)
but you can still call me
sometimes just to say hello
and i know that you still assume
that i'm still mad at you
that was a memory, it's still a part of me
and baby if you ever wonder
so do you ever wonder...bet you, bet you, bet you didn't know it
i bet you don't that
you're still on my mind
i bet you don't that
i think about you all the time
i know that we moved on
and yes it's been so long
i bet you don't that
you're still on my mind
baby your picture's still hanging up on my wall
and i still get butterflies hoping that you might call
All I could do was laugh, look up, and say "Ha ha funny....but thanks" as I drove to work today...
Hope you are all having a wonderful Thursday...(happy to report no hangover lol...)
