I have a new phrase for you

I don't know about you, but I am amazed at how ridiculous we can all be from time to time over NOTHING!! No, I don't really mean nothing, as in no thing, or non-existant or something like that but more like "in the scheme of things". Are you following me here?

OK, remember when things like:

Oh NO, what am I gonna wear now that he asked me out!!! (1/2 hr ago it was.......IF he would ask & who cared what I wore!)
or

Oh, my goodness, she cut my hair waaaaayyyyy too short this appt!!! (WHAT! like it was never gonna grow again?)
or

NO WAY! Do you know how long it took me to grow that nail and NOW it just broke! (what about the other NINE)

and then the ridiculous.............

I know but what IF I lose my job five years from now (are you CRAZY, if you've GOT a job next WEEK you're aces in this market!)

and, believe it or not................

someone I know has been searching for THE best pre-school private academy (in another state) which is going to run approximately $8,000 and YES, I did say THOUSAND to assure acceptance to THE best PRE-K program in the next year! After all, the mother exclaims to the horror she notes in my voice..............it's ALL important to insure acceptance to THE best Kindergarten program! (did you ever hear of the fact that there are children in this very country that can't even GO to school?)

Probably the worst and most often used first by the young child and then, if not nipped in the bud, continues to adulthood......

"I'M JUST GONNA DIE IF............." (I don't thiinnkkk so, in reality!)

They sound kind of silly when we see them in writing, don't they, but you know what?.................I think seeing these and other things that each of us has in our own repertorie on what is SO important to us, needs to take on the all-importance of the people in our lives and life itself so..................in light of last month's miracle plane crash..............

here is my new and amazing phrase for "He (or she) needs a reality check" and mark my words, you'll ALL be using this........

"He (or she) needs a moment on the Hudson!!!!

Does that phrase not snap you out of yourself or what!

Hmmm Global Warming you say......

Call me crazy but didn't I tell you that we moved to North Carolina??  Yeh, I thought so, but check this out.............when I opened the blind in the bathroom this morning, here's what I was

looking at!!!           S N O W !!!   2" of beautiful white fluffy stuff sitting in an atmosphere of 20 degrees.  How cool.....literally!  I checked it out on the weather channel and it's all Canada's fault.  They sent it straight down the coast to us.  I liked it, hats off to you Canada!

Oh, but can I tell you how thrilled all the school kids were when before dawn it was announced that all schools would be closed for the day.  Amazing as it sounds, it's true, and there was no snow on the roads or driveways in my area either.  What in the world would a North Carolinian do if they got transported  to Central New York.   Yikes!!

                                     

See the little footprints in the snow?   I think that little 'creature on the right' made them.  It dawned on me as I watched my Happy Snowman flag that states across the top I Love Winter that I'll bet you little kitty is always out there and who would know........except for when it snows and we can see his footprints.  I figure that he'll not be found out, so to speak, for another couple of years when it snows here again.

It was really enjoyable to see the whole area gently blanketed with the fluffy stuff and know that it'll be 60 degrees by day after tomorrow.     So much for global warming huh?   ha ha ha
