What I'm Reading This Week #13

Friday is finally here!  Can I get a woot woot?!  (Cheers to those who actually did it.)  The week felt long to start but then before we knew it...blam!  Friday.  We had the countertop dude out to measure and template Tuesday.  The lady who made the appointment said it would be 2-3 weeks after so I'm hoping for sooner than later so I can FINALLY reveal the bathroom to you guys!  Kind of stinks though because we were told they would take the sink/faucet with them and that was a big fat no.  We were looking forward to getting that big azz box out of the house.  Soon enough I guess.   You may have noticed a little zhuzh to the site (probably more for those on laptops) but I figured it was time and I think they retired my previous theme anyway.  So it's a little minimalistic but there wasn't a ton to choose from on the free side so I took what I could get.  Enjoy. šŸ˜„ I sat down and did a spreadsheet of my seeds, when they were...

Hump Day Poll: A Piece of Their Legacy

Whatā€™s the best piece of advice someone that has passed has given you?

My grandma used to say "not everyone needs to know your business or they'll talk about it."  (Equivalent to if they gossip to you, they'll gossip about you.)  She was a very private and modest person.  She had 5 sisters so she grew up with people always having something to say about everyone else's decisions so I'm sure that had a lot to do with it.  So I'm incredibly private which should come as no shock because once you see how people talk about other people behind their backs, you can bet your life doesn't get a pass.

Whatā€™s the best piece of advice someone that has passed has given you?  (They say the best way to keep someone's memory alive is to talk about them.  So share their advice, and if you like, a story about them that related to the advice.)

  1. My Dad made it clear to me while he was in his last months that a lesson he learned was to live life the way I wanted and not let everyone else run it. I like to think I have heeded that to some extent. Obviously it's not easy doing that when you have to answer to a boss, co-workers, etc but I know that I am a more authentic version of myself than I was before and it helps to think about that from time to time.

  2. I have a loved one give me this bit of wisdom that has stuck with me (although I admit to being a poor example at it more times than not, but it's been resonating a lot lately):
    "When you complain, you make yourself into a victim. When you speak out, you are in your power. So change the situation by taking action or by speaking out if necessary or possible; leave the situation or accept it. All else is madness."

    Then they said something funny that I also had to write down:
    Relationships with negative people are simply tedious encounters with porcupines. Truth!
