Day 12 and some other stuff!! :-)

I know I know I know! I’m not doing so great at keeping this 30 day challenge thing going!! Insanity!! I am trying!! It’s been a very crazy, hectic, and busy past month!! Quick wrap up?? Okay! Here goes.. Brother and family come into town for Brother’s 30^th birthday! LOVE THEM! The Guy has series of dizzy spells, Monday April 2, I got a call from him stating that he had gotten his finger cut off at work and was in the ER. Yes, the TIP of his finger was cut off, and they were unable to reattach it. He had surgery on Tuesday April 3. Talk about a girl wanting to take that pain from him! Shot a wedding on Easter Weekend. Over 2000 pictures! CRAZY! Work craziness, went to Charleston with The Guy to deliver some parts. We took the dogs. In a one day trip! Spent time with my 90 year old grandmother who was in town. Ahhhh… Doesn’t seem so bad does it??

So.. Let’s get to Day 12 Already… :-) I know you are all anxiously awaiting it.

Something I don’t leave my house without. My smile and my Cell Phone. Ideally I’d have my purse too, but I don’t ALWAYS take it with me.

My smile, because no matter how bad it gets, it could always get worse! I smile because I am alive, I have defeated monsters in my life, and I am proud of that! I am a work in progress and I am proud of that as well!

I think that a smile (whether from myself or from a stranger) can ease tensions, break down barriers, and open up communication. It allows people to feel comfortable with me, as I am genuine when I do smile. It’s ALL Good is my motto, and yes, it is! Whatever “IT” is! Life is too short!!

As for the cell phone: The age of technology has transformed how I communicate now. My cell phone seems to have become an appendage to me, and I feel naked without it. I text various people, call various people, maintain my photography contacts, take pictures of random things, take video of random things, and it’s my communication to the world outside of my own. I have yet to upgrade to a “smart” phone, and I am almost afraid to. I am unsure if I want to be THAT connected to everyone all the time. I also do not want to spend the monthly data plan fee. Maybe one of these days I’ll bite the bullet and invest in one, but as long as I can text, take pics, take video, and talk, I think my current “dumb” phone suites me just fine!

I promise to try to update more frequently. This past month, just got the better of me. I am still alive though, and I am still ME and I think that's a good thing! :-)
