Don't Blink, Life Goes Faster Than You Think.

I am grateful for the beautiful sunrise that I am seeing today as I look my window.

Wow November is already here. It is the time of year when we start thinking of things that we are grateful for. So for the next 30 days I am going to post what I am grateful for. Will you join me in this challenge? Leave what you are grateful for in the comment section. Day 1: I am grateful for my family. I have a wonderful husband and two awesome kids that I wouldn't trade for the world.

I want to get back into the career field. Recently have submitted several resumes and had a few interviews. But I keep getting the same response, "We have decide to go with another candidate who has more experience." My question is how do get the experience if no one will hire you and give you a chance. I would love to hear some feedback.

Recently we went to the beach and each night my family and I would take a walk on the beach. I would look down at the sand, watching out for shells or other objects not to step on. Then I realized there are soooo many different footprints in the sand. Each of those different footprints belongs to someone in this world. Each footprint in that sand has some story. A story that may be very fascinating or very unforgettable. But they are all stories that belong to someone out there in this big world. Who are they? Where did they come from? It's a big world!

A good friend and I had planned to meet at the new wine store, sample some and just be adults before the kids got out of school. I was so looking forward to this day. However I got off to a late start and tried to make a quick mental list of tasks to do: ge t gas (cause I'm running on fumes), go grocery shopping, (because everyone complains there is nothing to eat) marinate the lamb(new dish I am trying) and meet my friend. So out the door I go and don't you know it starts pouring down rain. I pull in to the gas station to pump my gas and get pounded by the rain. I thought to myself, it i s just rain. Then I looked down at my feet and noticed that I had two different shoes on. I can not possibly go into the grocery store with two different shoes on my feet. So back home to change my shoes and then back out the door to get groceries. Next stop was the grocery store. I was on a mission to buy a nice piece of lamb. I happened to watch Rachael Ray cook up an awesome Medite...

What will I do now is the question I have been asking myself. All of my favorite television shows had their season finale or will this week. Celebrity Apprentice ended Sunday, with my favorite John Rich winning and for a great cause. Another favorite show just ended last night, DWTS (Dancing With the Stars for those of you who don't follow it). My favorite couldn't be more obvious being from the Steeler Nation, Hines Ward danced away with the mirror ball trophy. What will tonight bring on American Idol? Will it be Lauren or Scotty? My favorite is Scotty. Will I will the trifecta? Good luck to both contestants, they are both very talented. .
