A break from reality...
I love fortune cookies, the concept itself is kinda cool. You get a nice sweet treat and a little message of hope. Little things like that are definitely worth taking a second to read. I hate when people go through a whole day without taking a small break from reality, a second to smile, a moment to breathe. I keep a stash of Dove dark chocolate in my office, the little cubed shaped ones wrapped in red foil. I have to restrict myself from overindulging in what I call my brain food, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. I always open them carefully to prevent ripping through the messages. I got the idea from my old buddy A, she was such a sweetie, she'd come out and hand everyone a little piece of heaven.
Every once in a while I feel like I have to get away from everything. I strongly believe in personal time, you should feel obligated to give yourself some "you" time and get away from reality for a couple of hours. I usually take the day off and hangout, I'll get out of the house and do something I don't normally do. It's like taking a breath of fresh air or catching a new wind. I make sure that whatever I'm doing is for me and only me, sounds kind of selfish huh? Well, as long as I have my priorities and obligations in order and I and bring myself back to reality, I'm good. Life is too short to not live to the fullest. Sure, I'm not traveling the world or living on the edge, but I'm doing what makes me happy and that's living to me!
Speaking of traveling the world, I sent my hubby to buy a lotto ticket. Wouldn't it be nice to hit the lottery? I know...I know...my chances are slim to none but it doesn't hurt to think positively. I often think about what I would do if I got my hands on an outrageous amount of money like that. I guess it depends on the amount, but I am not a selfish person. I'd pay all my debt, my parent's debt, my sissy's and in-laws debt then give them all a predetermined and disclosed amount of money. I'd share with the rest of my family and the church I grew up at. My kids and immediate nieces and nephews would all have college funds for exactly and only four years! I'd buy a house, a downtown condo, and a vacation lake house. I'd put most of the money in savings and live off the interest. My parents would never have to worry about their future and would live happily ever after.
Okay, my break is over...back to reality!!!!!!!
