I feel really touched by this email/link that my Auntie sent me so I thought I’d share what it says… Especially what happened yesterday with Michael Jackson.. I thought its a perfect time to really reflect on TODAY.

TODAY, I will delete from my journal two days:

YESTERDAY and TOMORROW.

YESTERDAY was to learn from,
and TOMORROW …
well, that will be the consequence of what I can do TODAY.

TODAY I will face life with the sure knowledge
that this day will never return.

TODAY is possibly the last opportunity I have to live INTENSELY,
as no one can assure me that I will see tomorrows sunrise.

TODAY I will be brave enough not to let any opportunity
pass me by. My only alternative is to succeed.

TODAY I will invest my most valuable resource:  MY TIME
in the most transcendental work: MY LIFE.

TODAY I will spend each moment passionately,
to make today a different and unique day
in my life.

TODAY I will defy every obstacle that appears on my way,
trusting I will succeed.

TODAY I will resist pessimism, and will conquer
the world with a smile and a positive attitude
of always expecting the best.

TODAY I will make every ordinary task
a sublime expression.

TODAY I will take the time to be happy
and will leave footprints and my presence
in the hearts of others, not just in the sands of time.

TODAY I invite you to begin a new season
where we can dream
that everything we undertake is possible;
and we fulfill that dream
with joy and dignity.

AND if there are those that you love, tell them,
you don’t know when it will be your last opportunity.

Have a GREAT WEEKEND!!
LOVE YOU!

Hiety Ho my lovelies!

How’s it going? It’s Thursday.. this week kinda crept by… silently but with relative speed. Thank Goodness. I am ready for the weekend.  I don’t feel like rambling on and on too much today. As of tomorrow (Friday 6/26) it will be 3 more months till Peter and I get married! Wahoo!!! With my sisters help… I realize there is still so much to do.. I became slightly overwhelmed this week with the To Do List… but with her help I feel less frazzled.. and for that I am really grateful!

Talking about Grateful.. I really just wanted to post to do a 3 things 2 things since I haven’t in quite a while… feel like spreading the love.

3 things that make me happy:

“Swimming in the Deep End” three things:

1. Things with Peter and I are still quite magical. I’m so amazed.. the love is soo strong… True we have been passing in the night with him working close at the Restaurant.. but when we do see each other.. it’s really pretty amazing. I am so blessed to be marrying the man of my dreams.
2. Yesterday one of my friends/co-workers who I haven’t seen in a week or so told me he could REALLY see that I’ve lost weight. (Thank You Brian!) Made me so happy.
3. Driving home after a really good run or yoga class… all my windows down.. Dance or Reggae music pumping… watching the Trees go by… if i’m in DC.. LOVING seeing life in the District, wishing I could move there… or if i’m driving home from work.. driving along the GW Parkway.. looking onto the Potomac River… watching the Bikers/Runners….LOVING my life!

Light and Airy three things:

1. Putting on my eyeliner makeup on in a really good straight line the past 2 days! Makes me feel like I got a hole in one. YES!
2. My kitty cat sleeping in the open window next to my side of the bed. I move the curtain and look in at her sweeping after I wake up.. aww my kitty girl.
3. Need I say…. GUACAMOLE!!! OH MY GOSH…YUM!!!  I am trying to be good with my eating but I could just dive right into a nice big bowl of the yummy green wonderfulness, with Pita chips. MMM.

2 things I look forward to today:

1. Another good run tonite
2. Peter is off today so he said he wants to do something special tonite! Hmm.. what could it be?

2 long term things I look forward to:

1. My Saturday Plans.. 11:30 Yoga class.. Lunch with Scott.. Maybe going to look at wedding rings with Peter then going out to my sisters to go see Rascal Flatts! Yee Haw!
2. Seeing all my wonderful wonderful friends that I haven’t seen in so long (and some just last week) at my wedding. I know I’m going to be a mush ball of joyous tears.

1 Person I am going to appreciate:

My sister. She has been such a wonderful help these past months.. (Peter and I will have been engaged one year this Sunday, the 28th of June) Kristine has been a step ahead of me with the whole wedding process. I honestly can say I do not know what I would do without her. I think she should potentially go into Wedding planning as a side job cause I think she rocks at it!!! Thanks Kristine.. I love you.

That’s about it.. I hope your all doing well. Please do send me a note and let me know how you’re doing!
Much Love,
Kerilyn

The title of this post is.. “What a Week!!!!”

Holy Moly… Standing straight on the balance beam it amazes me what it takes to throw me off balance. Not much apparently. It’s Saturday and THANK GOD for that. Literally. I am sitting here.. just trying to relax after the week I’ve had.

Started Monday morning first thing….Some issue with the City of Alexandria over the Park that Peter and I were planning on having our ceremony in.. oh my gosh. They threatened to arrest me if I continue to have my ceremony in this one precious park. Talked to the Mayor of Alexandria… he’s useless. Man… At the end of the day I had to fold and get married in the park next to the park I wanted. It’s a LONG story for those that heard it.. maybe they can relay.. I don’t have the energy to rehash.

Then one of my Salespeople has a problem with me and is not talking to me.. Again another LONG story… Ugh… Whatever… It’s best I just don’t talk here cause I know nothing nice will come out.

Then Friday, I wake up with a sore throat which I KNOW means somethings not right in my body.. And I am fighting a fever.. and upset tummy all day.. My sister and her friend Steph come.. and I just feel worse and worse..I feel out of it..  at one point felt like passing out… felt dehydrated… went to postsecret exhibit.. then to Buca Di Beppo for dinner (YUM!)  Thankfully after i ate I felt better but still.. didn’t feel quite right.. got home and went straight to bed..like 8:30 last nite. I feel better today but I think I’m not going to push it. It makes me sad but I cancelled going to my yoga class this morning cause my tummy still feels queasy.. i have a facial scheduled at 1:30 this afternoon which I will SO enjoy.. and then resting.

And my love Peter is sick as well.. he has a congested head… my poor baby.

It’s just been a tough week.. all around. Mentally/emotionally/physically.

I don’t know why exactly.. I’m hopeful that next week I will go back to being my happy happy joy joy self.

That’s it for me.. don’t feel too chatty today.. Feel like a cup of coffee then going back to bed.. which I can do if I wish.

Much Love.
Kerilyn
