Little Blessing

New Baby.

We have a new member to our family. A niece!  She's beautiful. I know, everybody says that about babies but she's a little doll.

Mom and baby are doing well, and I'm receiving cute new pics all the time. They live out of state, so for now, I get to hear the baby's soft cry and Mama's tired voice over the phone.

My joy moment today was feeling blessed to have an adorable new addition to the fam.

I'm looking forward to seeing them both, live and in person, sometime soon.

Welcome, sweet baby girl.

Stay tuned :-)

Home Base

Today I had an opportunity to work from home. It was great.

I was still very busy, but even more productive (I know, crazy!)  My favorite part... working in my P.J.'s! Plus, I got a day pass from the grueling L.A. traffic. Yay!

My joy moment today was working from my home base.

Clocking out was pretty awesome, too.  Since, it was just a five second walk from my work station to my couch.

Yeah, baby!  LOL.

Stay tuned :-)

MY Tunes

ITunes. MyTunes. 

One of my favorite things about my IPhone is how easy it is to add new music.  Love it!

They have an endless collection of songs and they make it very easy to get them. Ofcourse! Those Apple people are no dummies, LOL. I can easily surf through classic oldies and hot newbies and listen to them by just the tap of a finger. I know I sound like a commercial, LOL, but they make it super convenient and super fun.  

A few more taps of the finger and I can add an array of music to my phone that spans several different genres, in just a few minutes. Thankfully, many are just 99 cents, so I don't feel so bad for having happy, snappy, tappy fingers. LOL.

My joy moment today was putting on my headphones, sitting back, relaxing and enjoying several of my fav tunes, back to back to back.  

Plus I love singing along, although the neighbor's dog seems to have a problem with it. LOL.

Stay tuned :-)

Light and Airy Day... sort of!

Seems odd to find glee in basic air conditioning... not when it's 113 degrees outside!

We had record breaking temperatures in California today. It was crazy hot!

There was also another record breaking moment... I wasn't complaining about how cold it was in the office. No whining from me today. Not a peep. LOL.

My joy moment today was enjoying a fabulously air conditioned building that helped me to ride out the scorching heat outside.

The mood was light. The airy was on.

Pretty cool day!

Stay tuned :-)

Pepped Up and Ready to Go!

Had a conversation with a friend today who's been stressed out, stuck in a rut and needed a pep talk.

What started out as just a few words of inspiration, turned into a lengthier talk that resulted in a plan of action and resources for her to explore. My friend felt so much better after our chat. I could see the change in her demeanor and it felt good to know that I'd helped.

The weird part?  The talk helped me, too.

Not to sound pompous, but it was a good speech. Just ask my friend! LOL. But seriously, it was moving, insightful, hopeful and on-point. The weird part was how the words just kept pouring out of me... stuff I hadn't shared before and didn't realize I was aware of or thinking about. I found myself sharing lessons, experiences and information that gave my friend perspective and a plan. My friend had several lightbulb moments during it.... and surprisingly, so did I. It made me reflect on my own personal goals that needed action and attention.

As I told my friend, I give all the credit to God. I often ask Him to guide my words and order my steps... and I believe that's what happenend today. He gave me the right words to say to help my friend and at the same time it helped me.  That's just how good He is. :-)

My joy moment today was giving my friend a pep talk that got her out of her funk and energized me, as well.

A two-for-one, pep talk.  He's good! LOL.

Stay tuned :-)

Hair-raising Day

Saturday. Salon day.

As the ladies know, Saturday is a very busy day at the hair salon. Very! I usually try and do everything I can, not to make an appointment on this day. Beg, borrow, and beg some more if I have to. But there was no way around it this time. So there I was, sitting for several hours at the salon, on a hot and sunny Saturday. And later, under a hot and steamy hair dryer... good times. Not so much!  LOL.

At least the people watching and conversations were good. Nice music was playing and everyone seemed to be in a pleasant mood while getting their 'do's all dolled-up.

Met a 98-year-old woman with the most beautiful white hair. She was so adorable. Everyone commented on how amazing she looked. Listened to a sweet young woman share her excitment about being pregnant with her first child, as we watched her enjoy, and fill an obviously strong craving for McDonald's Mcnuggets. Three boxes worth! She was such a tiny little thing, it wasn't hard to guess she was eating for two. And, of course, there were the lively stories (and light gossip) from the various hairstylists.

At least it's a fun salon, LOL.

My joy moment today was making the most of my marathon trip to the parlor by engaging in interesting convo's with new and old friends. Plus, after all was said in done, I left with a cute new hairdo.

Okay, so it's not the worst way to spend a sunny Saturday afternoon! LOL.

Stay tuned :-)

Friday, My Day!

T. G. I. F.  Finally!  It's here!

Sooo excited.  Somehow it always gets me, LOL.  I love you, Friday. You're my fav!

Made it through another week. Happy. Grateful. And it was my joyful moment for today.  Oh, yeah!

Hope you had a good one, friends!

Stay tuned :-)

Over the Rainbow

Have you ever seen a double rainbow?

Caught this interesting video on YouTube today. A man, now nicknamed "Double Rainbow guy," has become an internet sensation because of the way he reacted to seeing a rainbow... a "double rainbow,"  to be exact. He gets very excited and is actually moved to tears over it. His reaction is interesting, to say the least, and pretty humorous.

Check it out...

"Double Rainbow Guy-CLICK HERE!"

Many are finding the vid funny but the double rainbow guy is getting the last laugh. Due to his notoriety, he's now doing a television commercial. Guess there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow :-)

My joy moment today was getting a little chuckle out of this video... and a little lesson. Double rainbow guy found joy in the beauty of a rainbow. May we all find joy in the simple and natural beauty of life.

We'd be rich indeed! :-)

Stay tuned :-)
