road trip by car

Yes I have to clarify what type of road trip..seeing how I have done some by motorcycle.  Thinking I might do that again soon.. work on getting a license.. anyway.. took the car to Princeton, British Columbia- took a walk along the Trans Canada Trail.  Was quite a lovely day.. sun shining, a few clouds.. the trail went along the river which was really cold.  Yes I had to stick my hands in it.  Not sure what that's all about but yes I need to feel.. the cold, wet, water.. and no I was not brave enough to take off the sneakers and wade in.  Figure my feet would have been numb in about 2 secs!  Saw a few deer, a hawk and a bald eagle.  Great views on the ride, alot of campsites that could be awesome in the summer!  Right on the river too. 
Back at work today, and again a beautiful day beacons... but I will have to bide my time for now.. will have to check those lottery tickets.. can you imagine!.. to be able to just go and do what you want, when you want, and not worry about if you can afford to! . Now that would be a dream!

eyes open

Yes it's been quite some time since I last did this..woohooo.. blogging.. not sure how most of you keep up with this..I find myself writing in my journal more then blogging.. some things you're just not meant to post on the internet.
Speaking of which, I find myself quite saddened by what I find out there.. for the world to see. There are some authors who feel like they are opening your eyes..making you more aware..which ya okay I get that.. but some things.. I don't want to see.. and sadly once you see it.. you can't unsee it.. it is too bad we can't erase our hard drive (brain) there are a few things I would like to undo!

So I started to read Dr. Phil's new book.. life code.. talk about an eye opener again!.. I too am a "pollyanna" type.. to see the good in people.  Guess that's why I find myself quite disappointed.  I think that people are generally good... seeing the good, doing the good things.. communicating clearly (okay that I don't do that well but I do try, at least I don't fly off the handle in an angry rage!) yes I shut down.. shut you out.. til I can sort out my feelings.. and sadly that sometimes can take a day or two.. and then I might sit with you and bring up how you hurt me.. or disappointed me.. now that I think about it..there are times when I don't bother..because I feel like the other person should know better... or.. shouldn't have gone there in the first place..if they TRULY care about me.. LOL!!! ya.. I know.. you should hear what Dr. Phil has to say about that in his book!!!  (assertive- need to learn!)

Never assume that someone likes you by their sweetness. Sometimes, you are just an option when they are bored.

I don't want to be any ones option, if I am not first choice.. then please move along!!! (my attempt at being assertive)... seriously.. please don't waste my time if you truly don't want to be with me..and I will most certainly give you the same respect.
