Like Forrest Gump


OMGosh my life is gone crazy. So many things going on at once, my head is spinning. I was thinking of creating a post, but I just have some time here at the office and decided to banter on about absolutely nothing. Well, it is something, just not very interesting. At the moment I am in the process of moving and 10 billion other things, some really good, some bad. Stress is taking it's toll, and I am looking forward to next month when the dust will settle.
stressed catAfter this life tornado blows over, I hope to be back here blogging more often, and visiting the friends I have on line. Till then, I'll be the one flying by with my shoes on fire. ( ... and that's bout all I gots tah say bout` thaat ) "Like Forest Gump"

I have been taking some pictures ........

I've missed you Speedy, but I also know that you've been very busy. I didn't know you were moving though. That always adds a bit of stress. I hope you can take some time for yourself here and there.

Have a terrific day. Big hug. :)

Ok, Visualize yourself in a serene and peaceful place. A beach perhaps? Or maybe a mountainside? What do you see? Give it details. what does that specific tree look like? The colors involved? What do you hear? Do you hear birds chirping? Or maybe the the gentle lap of the waves as they softly reach the beach. What do you feel? Is it the sun kissing your face? Or perhaps it's a gently rush of the wind as it makes it's way through the trees? Taste? Smell? Does it smell salty from the ocean? or earthy like the soft ground you meander through? Incorporate all your senses as you create this perfect peaceful and calming place. It's *your* place after all, and completely peaceful and safe.

Now....On the count of 3...

1....2.....3.....Breathe in
s-l-o-w-l-y, fill your entire lungs. and as you do so, imagine your breath as collecting and gathering all your negative and draining experiences.

Now exhale very slowly, imagining as you do this, that all your cares and worries are expelled through your breath.

Repeat as needed.

Take your time we'll be here when you get back. Well I won't because I'll be in the middle of the Pacific between Hawaii and San Diego with my son and the Navy. But, then I'll be here when you/I get back. :)

Hello Speedy Gump!

Momma always said... "Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get!" ;)

teeni said...

Wow, Speedy. Please just take care of yourself through all the craziness and running around. We want you in good form for when you are able to return to a more normal blogging schedule. :) Hugs to you!

Love the merry-go-round pic. Ha!

In all this busy-as-a-bee period, be sure to take a breather and do something fun - no matter how small it seems. Don't burn yourself out too much.

wendy said...

You are moving?

From Hollydale?

Hmmmm ... new town to explore.

It's all good.

Hugs!!!!!

wendy said...

Many years back a friend saw me totally stressed out at work and said something that I'll never forget. (It's the WAY he said it).

IN through the nose.

OUT through the mouth.

(Just breathe ... it all comes out OK in the end.)

wendy said...

p.s. We are moving too.

wendy said...

Know what else? I just heard these crazy noises out in the back yard and went to investigate from the upstairs window (at 2:20 a.m.) ... it was Lee ... taking out the trash ... and on the way back into the bedroom from the bathroom I saw the nightlight shining through the little blue jar on the counter and the BLUE was SO pretty!!!

Little things like that are gifts. And they are everywhere.

wendy said...

.... now ... open up!

BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAMMABLAMMMMMMAAABLAAAMMMMMMMM!

.... mmmmmmmmmmm!

Bacon-y goodness.

wendy said...

OK. Turning in finally.

I wish you were moving into our time zone.

We would have the best time commenting back and forth real time.

wendy said...

Oh ... one more thing. I finally saw The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and it TOTALLY reminded me of Forrest Gump.

It was very very good. Benjamin, that is.

Of course ... Forrest was excellent, too.

Night Speedster.

Mee mOe said...

"spammie lady from twitter!"

Gelatinous. :)

dcr said...

So, your name is spewedcat now? ;-)

Yes, apparently your new phone does work.

Daisy said...

Hey there, Speedy! Your shoes are on fire?! YIKES! Throw a bucket of water on them for heaven's sakes. Reminds me of the old cartoons we used to watch when one character would give another a hot foot by putting matches in their toes or something. HA HA HA!

And your head is spinning! Oh my! That makes me think of Linda Blair. HA HA HA!

Good luck with your move and all the other things happening in your whirlwind days. Take care of yourself and don't let the stress get too out of hand, OK?

Hugs from Daisy. :)

Ponderer said...

ooooooooommmmmmm, :)

Mimi Lenox said...

You're moving??
That last shot of the wicker chair is the exact same chair on Bloggingham's front deck. Did you swipe my chair????

Missed you lately!

wendy said...

Oooh! I got a shout out from the Speedster! Coolness.

just stopping in to say Hi again.

Sometimes I get behind. But catching up is fun too.

Babs-beetle said...

I haven't seen you about for a while. Mind you, I haven't been around for a while myself :) Hope the dust settles soon for you.

beaverboosh said...

dude, have you mounted that duck?

Lauren said...

I like the photo of you on the merry go round!

Connie said...

The other day I saw a truck in front of me on the highway. Feathers were blowing out. We got up beside it and it was full of chickens. The truck was a Tyson truck. Poor chickens. I took a picture but it came out blurry. I thought of you.
I like the one of you on the play ground.

MedStudentWife said...

RUN, Forrest, RUN !!!!!

Must be something in the water, but it aint cholera... my life has also taken a turn in unexpected directions thus havent blogged much either and busy trying to get the dust to settle.

Thinking of ya

*hugs*

Awake In Rochester said...

Hey Speedy Gump,

Yep, life can be crazy! I hope that your move is a positive one. Don't forget to take time out for gulf. ;)

sky said...

You're living a life man, if you say your life's gone crazy :-)

When'll you speed up in here?! Just lemmi know.

Daisy said...

Hi Speedy! Don't mind me. I thought I'd just stop by and run the sweeper and do some dusting and cleaning here around your blog while you are gone. That way it will be all nice and clean for you when you get back. (Don't tell them that I was the one to tell you, but some of your bloggy friends are kind of messy. They have been tracking in mud and dust, blowing chicken feathers all around, and there are I don't know how many empty boxes of chocolate and pieces of bacon lying around all over in here.) Seriously, this is a very messy bunch you allow into your comment box. You should post some rules about people cleaning up after themselves so it is nice and tidy for the next person. Sheeeesh!! Anyway, I'm not complaining. I'm just saying.....you know. A word to the wise and all that.








:D







Happy Sunday to you, Speedy. Hope things are going well for you.

Ah---CHOOOOOOO! Ooops! Pardon me! I stirred up so much dust in here that it made me sneeze!









HA!






:D
