Day 451 ~ Susy Toronto's Message for September

September 1st!  All I can think of is how Christmas is now around the corner.  I'm sick aren't I?  LOL!!  Okay ... I'm really laughing... hard!

No but seriously... I survived the first week of Kindergarten, as did Calley... Halloween decorations are already going up in the stores... a-eesh! see I told you ... Christmas is around the corner!  

Here... listen.  As I said Halloween is around the corner... and I'm serious, in a blink of an eye it will be here... what will seem like maybe a couple of weeks of school, will actually be eight and a half.  First there's Halloween to get things going, then Christmas decorations will start showing up every where, then Thanksgiving whizzes by and before you know it ... a shopping we will go and Christmas will have arrived.  {and} 14 weeks will have gone by!    

{and] there you have it.

So... back to the subject at hand... let's do a recap here...

September 2012's message:

~ Life Is All About How You Handle Plan B...

Plan A is always my first choice.
You know, the one where everything works out to be "happily ever after."
But more often than not, I find myself dealing with the 
upside-down. inside-out version where nothing goes as it should. 
It's at the point the real test of my character comes in...
Do I sink or do I swim?  Do I wallow in self-pity and play the victim or
simply shift gears and make the best of the situation? 
The choice is mine.  After all... life is all about how you handle the plan B.

~Suzy Toronto 

I must say that it has taken me a very, very long time to realize that it is all my choice.  Yes my choice.  I choose the latter... simply shift gears.

Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.  ~ 1 Peter 5:7

I am second..

[here's to you finding your... ]

Peace...

... for a, l & c.  You are my sunshine(s).

Day 440 ~ August's Message {better late than never}

August!  Really?  Not only that, but I am once again getting Suzy's message out for the month with the month two thirds done.

Where has time gone?  Another summer put away in our memory banks, left behind for future enjoyment.  The hustle and bustle around town of families playing the "school supply" scavenger hunt game... down to the last packet of 8-1/2 x 11 construction paper.  {Anyone else have trouble with this one?}

I wonder.... do teacher check with the stores to make sure they carry certain school supplies. especially when requiring it by brand?  LOL!  I went to two different stores for Made in the USA pencils and with no luck at seven stores for 8-1/2 x 11 construction paper.

I will forever treasure the time spent my family spent together the Summer of 2012...

However... just like every year at this time... this girl can not wait for Fall!!  wink, wink.  

So... let's do a recap here...

January's message...This above all:  to thine ownself be true.

August 2012's message:

~ Gathering of the Goddesses...

It is a known fact that goddesses attract other goddesses.

You know, "Birds of a feather..."

But the really cool thing is that quite often they flock together long before

they reach their true lofty status of "goddess," giving their friendships the depth only time can give.

By the time they become goddesses, they've been gathering together for so long,

giving, sharing, loving, and caring,

that they know intimate details about each other's lives... making their bond unbreakable.

Whether shopping, going out to lunch, lounging over a pedicure,

or sitting on the beach, a gathering of goddesses can't be missed.

Just listen for the buss of friendship, the tears of shared sorrows, and the fits of irrepressible laughter.

You'll know in a minute you're in the presence of greatness. 

~Suzy Toronto 

Here's to the six days left before school starts... wow!  I'm going to miss my baby.

I am second..

[here's to you finding your... ]

Peace...

... for a, l & c.  You are my sunshine(s).
