After 5 hours in ER, I smiled politely at the Dr that finally showed up and told me he wasn't qualified to remove the splinter in my hand and I should come back Monday. It was all I could do to hold back from punching him and driving that splinter in even further.

Talking with my girl (f) on the phone. Reading our horoscopes and 2014 Chinese horoscopes, which we enjoy reading for pleasure and hope all the good it says comes true and all the negative, well we don't believe :p lol We got a good laugh ;)

Lots of sunshine and blue skies.
very happy pets and farm critters
lots of happy wild birdies and twitterpaited squirrels.
not living in the city...no pressures of the city
smiling because I'm thankful for living in such a beautiful place
there's a sharp chill to the air but this is perfect for sitting quietly on the deck with hot coffee giving contrast to the cold...being very still to bird watch because I've been delighted to find rare birdies I've never seen before ...and was thrilled last night to hear that our Killdeer are back. Hopefully they will hatch lots of sweet babies this year. I sure have missed them the past 2 years.

Toyota frustrated me (car makers in general do because they don't make anything easy anymore) but they didn't get the best of me....
I smiled at my accomplishment of figuring out a weird mechanical issue after looking at a very poor illustration that didn't help much....when I finally got everything back together and it worked...I smiled big because I haven't lost my touch. Then I smiled because I kept my roomie from popping vein.

I was blessed with yet another small, but certain miracle from The Universe this morning. I can count at least 5 already this year without even having to think too hard!
2014 didn't start off smoothly for me at all and it still will be an uphill battle, but I feel goodness afoot.
The signs are everywhere; this year is going to be a huge turning point for me. I can already tell.
Feeling grateful.

Waking to a world of ice. I am amazed at the wonders of Mother Nature. My palm tree didn't look so good, but I bet the visual of it will last a long time. The palm fronds heavy with sparkly ice. The new car was bathed in ice as well. Small icicles forming off the hood. This might be the norm for most of the country, but I found joy in the once in a while sights.
Even the drive to work, icicles on the phone lines. Such a sight!

I stopped at DD at break time and asked for one of those chocolate chip banana muffins and a cup of coffee. The muffins were freshly made and the chocolate syrup on top hadn't hardened yet. When I strolled back into work (with a huge smile on my face - what else? lol), I wondered why I was getting the most peculiar looks from everyone I passed.
When I got into the locker room and caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror, it immediately became clear...
I was wearing the evidence allllll over my face! It was fabulous. It was worth it. And it made me laugh so hard! It was actually a nice way to restart my workday because I don't take myself super seriously that way.
And thank goodness for that because I'm always embarrassing the crap outta myself somehow. Someday, I would like to be afforded just a speck of dignity. Doesn't look like it's in the cards, though, so thankfully I was gifted an easy sense of humor instead.

the best cup of coffee! My honey buying my favorite Dunkin Donuts coffee for my Keurig and then finding their creamer at the store last night, too!
First patient of the morning was a Rottweiler puppy named "Banjo" who peed on my foot and threw up on my shirt. (Have I mentioned that I love scrubs?) His human mom was anxious that I'd be upset until I joked that we'd bill her extra for the bodily fluids if she insisted. Her response? "Bodily fluids are extra here too?" Laughed until I almost fell over. Almost asked what she's been paying for them elsewhere. Might have to raise our rates!

I was wrapping a birthday present and as I was digging my way to the bottom of the wrapping paper drawer, I found a treasure! Laying on the bottom, all flat, with not a single crease...a work of art. A very beautiful finger painting. It had a date of 1996. My sweet niece/God daughter painted this Christmas Day for me. She was 4.
Today, she is a beautiful young woman, working on her Masters at age 21.
I took a picture and posted it on the book of face, sharing with her and her mother. The happy comments flew back and forth. Again, the amazement of bringing people together. Social media.
As I ran my fingers over the lumps and bumps of dried paint, it took me back. The sweet happy tears run again.

Her very good childhood friend moved away 10 years ago and has recently returned...she was like my 3rd daughter and we are ALL rejoicing!!...so...my Lizzie bug says to me....
"mom...I want to plan a "girl's night out" for Rachael...to welcome her back..."
Turns out my baby's idea of a girl's night out is backpacking up the mountain....and sleeping around the campfire.... :)

A family of deer friends use my property for their daily walk-about. Males at a certain age become unwelcomed by the deer matriarchy and are gently and sometimes not so gently asked to stay away. The one and only buck (who in the cold, clasp grip of winter) appears more like a burro sans the points has been hanging out underneath the apple trees. These apple trees which gave the deer so much food all the way up until just last week!
With the apples gone, he has been quite brave coming closer and closer to the front glass door. He seems to be asking "Where are the apples?" This morning, he was on the porch looking in at me.... (can you say awwww)
I broke down and went to the store and bought 3 bags of apples, cut them in half and placed them under the trees. Have yet to see him or the lady deer yet but they cruise through at dusk.
Looking outside and seeing a deer at the front door, well....that was really something! Our animal friends.....are to be cherished.:)
ps. I understand that making a 'wild' animal tame is not in its best interest. We have had such a harsh winter this year, these apples will help keep them healthy.

I know music is so important to her she loves it. The first thing she does when she hops in my truck is turn the xm on and start changing my channels to the ones she likes. hahaha Now if she would just memorize her school work, like she does the words to songs, we might be getting somewhere. :)

Spoke with my good friend, Fr. R who will come by this Wednesday morning, Ash Wednesday, to administer ashes and the Sacraments, and then I will begin a 46-day observance of Lent with prayer, reparation and fasting. My diet will consist of seafood, fish, vegetables, bread, water and wine. It is an honor to walk with Jesus silently and observe my holy Roman Catholic faith more at this time than any other during the year.

One of my coworkers whom I had written off as just another cranky loudmouth made me smile today.
We got the chance to converse for a few minutes this morning and, as it turns out, she is a very astute, well-read, and interesting woman! We share a love of history and that is how we happened to start talking.
Previously, I heard her loudly complaining on a couple of occasions about some things at work so I just figured she was a chronic complainer and my internal dialogue kept whispering "be polite, but just avoid her as much as possible."
I do that sometimes because being around consistently negative people is just exhausting to me. However, in this instance (and, interestingly enough, in life in general) I have found that I was so wrong! :shocking:
I was a jerk for judging her and subsequently writing her off before I got a chance to really interact with her. I'm so glad we just sort of fell into a conversation this morning.
