I haven't posted a blog since May and I am sorry for that. I have been writing but I haven't posted it for many reasons. But today since its such a wonderful morning I feel like writing and sharing a few things with everyone who wants to read this.
This summer has been wonderful! The weather has been amazing! In fact up until this past week we only had a few days in the 90s, most of the time we were in the 80s. I couldn't have been happier. Only thing better would have been if I could have opened my bedroom window at night instead of have an AC unit in it.
The beginning of summer I could feel a change in the air but I wasn't sure what it was at first. Once the middle of July hit I knew what it was and then by the first week in August the change hit me full force. I wont tell you the whole story but my best friend and I are no longer best friends in my book. She has made some choices in her life that I don't want any part of. She has moved out of town, is getting divorced, left her kids with her soon to be ex husband, and now how a boyfriend and new friends. Now don't judge her for what I just said, you don't know the whole story and this blog is not about her, its about me.
The beginning of the month I also turned 37. That number really isn't that old but there were a lot of things that was going though my head about turning that age. None of them at first was good but I think I am that way what ever my birthday comes around. Now I am fine with that age and I am starting to embrace my age. I joined a group that just started too that I am really looking forward to called Four on 40. More then likely I will blog about this group later on but for now if you want to know more just let me know and I will get you information on the group.
At first I didn't know if I really wanted to welcome the change that was entering my life. I have always hated change but I have been taking of several big changes in my life over the past couple years so why not have one more. Change hasn't hurt me but has helped me be the person I am now. I have switched jobs in the past year and now for the first time I think ever I enjoy going to work. I am someone that people come to now to ask questions instead of me going to them. I am one of the leaders at work for the first time ever.
I finally looked at my friend moving away as a way for me to spread my wings and explore more things in life that I have always wanted to. It never failed that if I wanted to do something she would call and want help with something. I could never say no to her and she knew that. I finally told her no last weekend and it felt great! I did what I wanted.
Music has always been big in my life and my choice in music always seemed to reflect what she wanted to listen to at the time. I have been listening to more 60s and 70s music this past month then I have ever listened to and you know what? I love it and I am more peaceful. In fact I am listening to a CD called Radio Hits of the 70's. There are a couple songs I don't like but the rest are great! The main reason I thought of writing today was because of a song and that is why I titled this "Here Comes The Sun" I heard that as I was sitting outside looking up into the tree nearby. I saw a cobweb as it was reflected by the sun. It was so pretty and I felt the need to write so I came instead and started writing this.
Other changes in my life include taking a Aqua Zumba class. The class started at the beginning of the month and was twice a week. Starting next week it will be 3 times a week and I am so excited for this. So now I will be going to the YMCA 5 days a week and working out. I love the fact I am going there and having fun at the same time as getting a good workout.
Tonight I am doing a Glow Run/Walk. You can either do a mile or a 5K. Because its so hot I think I will just do the mile but I am really excited for this. I normally wouldn't do something like this without my friend because I normally don't like to do things like this alone. But I am branching out and going by myself. Now there will be friends from work there but this is something I would never do so I am proud of myself for taking this step.
I am also starting to hang out with different people then what I used to. I have made several new friends in the past few weeks. One of them my exbff didn't like and had always heard bad things about. I went there not knowing what to expect and had a great time. She was nice and nothing what I had heard. That proved to me that I shouldn't believe anything she said and I need to make my own decisions more.
Tomorrow starts a new month and I am excited for it. Bring on more changes and improvements to my life, I am ready!!
