Marvelous Monday!!! Tickle me it's ........tax time! At this time of year we are all bogged down with paperwork. It is the time of year that everyone could use a good tickle, laugh or something to raise our spirits. In our household, taxes seems to be my job. I always seem to be the one to keep the paperwork together. So while everyone else headed off to Margarita lake for a morning of fishing fun, I was at home pouring myself more coffee searching for yet another receipt. To put the final finishing totals in check so we can pay someone to do our taxes for us! I know it is funny, but I would rather be really sure! I did this until I was cross eyed. I finally gave in to an an afternoon of relaxing fun with my Mom, some NASCAR, and some Chinese food. Thanks MOM!!! (Next time I am driving your Corvette like nascar to get that food instead of my car! **See above picture and my beautiful MOM!!)
Now back to taxes! If it is set up to get a refund, or if a payment is to be made........there is not a difference in the eyes if the government! We all have to file on time! Did ya get that? We ALL have to file on TIME!!! It really makes no difference who you are, death and taxes is the two that they say we must all do! Getting them filed can bring out the best, or worst in our character. I prefer to just live with no regrets and with little drama, so.....I like all else that must be done....try to just get mine filed far before the due date. The less DRAMA in my life the better. Having a daughter adds enough drama, I need not bring more to the party! For me....the past years have taught me so much. All I have ever wanted was a simple life. I do not require much to be happy. Roof over my head, food to eat, and people that love me to share my joy. I require faithful loyal friends that to be sure I have been truly blessed with. I feel that life is too short to worry for the small insignificant muck that people like to drag you through, so I like to stay out of it as much as possible. In fact, for me the less complicated and the more simple I keep my life the better.
Recently, however I ran into an old friend that reminded me that complicated is sometimes worth having. I had been working so hard to rid my life of drama. Some people live for the drama, I run from it. In my running from it and on my quest for my new career, I had lost my passion for what I want. "I thank you my friend! (You know who you are.) You make me want to be a better person. You reminded me of who I once was as a young naive girl full of dreams and big ideas, combined with the woman I have become. You have helped me see that I still have a lot of living to do & you have re-lit a fire in me to make me want to complicate my life and find that passion again!"
As I have veered away from drama there is one thing that I stand by although you will hear me apologize from time to time. Please do take them all as heartfelt because clearly I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it. However, I don't like people to apologize to me for things beyond their control. Nor do I like to be made to feel that I must apologize for something beyond mine. I try to live within the lines of not doing things that I have to apologize for. I follow my heart and do what feels right, good and true. I know who my friends are. You who are my friends......thank you for being my friends!
Now to that...I say.....Have a Marvelous MONDAY!!! GET THOSE TAXES FILED early!!!! I am almost done!!! WooHOOO!!!
