Hello My Sunny Pals, Welcome back to Shellyville.... 
|
| Hello my sunny pals, It's not your normal Monday morning. It's a house full of kids watching funny movies. Yep, another day of no school. Oh the joys of winter. I think this is why my career is stalled. I still need to be a stay-at-home mom. My work here is never done. Hope your day is filled with laughter and joy! Love, Michelle |
| Hello my sunny pals, I feel like I am living a dream. Yesterday's wedding went so well. It was a blast and I know I am going to love LOVE LOVE having that job! I think this year is going to be very interesting. I see so many changes occurring and good things around the bend. It feels good to know that time does heal. Time and an open heart. Love, Michelle |
| Hello my sunny pals, I believe things happen for all the right reasons. I believe that the path I am on is the one I was meant to take a long time ago. I have to write a new list of goals and dreams. I am proud of the things I have crossed off my "to do" list. I went to college. I got my Master's degree 25 years later. I married for love. I divorced for love...my own. I have plans to move forward in my career. I have plans to move forward in my part-time activities. I love how my life always supports my current needs. What I never planned on was having someone from my past return. I have known Tim my whole life. Only for most of it we had no communication. He was off living his life and I was off living mine. I wonder why now he has returned with so much to share? He asked me to not let him slip away. Do I have any control over that? No, I don't. I can not control another person. I have to be honest. I have to say "this is me" here and now. When and if you choose to walk away will be on you. I only have to control myself. I am taking this one day at a time. I am happy and at peace today and that is what matters now. I love my life! Love, Michelle |
| Hello my sunny pals, I like the snow. I like the blizzard out of his back window and laying under a bunch of blankets being a bum. I like spending time saying nothing when words are not needed. Words are not needed only love. Love, Michelle |
| Hello my sunny pals, I think too much and dream too much and if I drink tea in the afternoon then I can't sleep. I have been trying too hard to make sense of my relationships and I have to stop that. I have to accept what is. Not what I think it should be. I have to live in the present moment. Not think that the future will be better than today. I am not going to listen to anymore outside BS about what is happening in my heart. I do know what is best for me and when I get tired of feeling this way, I will stop. I believe my confidence just might be returning and it's a good day! Love, Michelle |
| Hello my sunny pals, I wonder have you ever given a friend too much information? Been a little too helpful that it wasn't a good idea? I think I over-stepped my friendship role last night. I forget that sometimes being honest can be brutal. I know for me I am very blunt. I say what is on my mind and if I am with someone that I can't then I am very worried. I am working on trying to temper that was some sweet kindness but it don't always work out that way for me. Just like things are not working out that well for Jackson. I keep praying and hoping but it sure is a slow slow process! Please God grant me some peace! Love, Michelle |
| Hello my sunny pals, I am celebrating 6 years of Writing.com today! I look at that chunk of time and think wow! I was so active a few years ago and really writing some great poetry. I have increased my writing skills by being on this site. I increased the value of my life by the friendships I have made. I will never forget the writers that have walked into my heart. There is something special about Writing.com and I am glad to be a part of it. Happy day to me! Love, Michelle |
| Hello my sunny pals, Do you ever wake up from a dream upset? I just did! I was sitting on a plane flying back to Arizona in my dream and started crying. "Oh No, I have to go back to my life now." First of all I don't live in Arizona. I wish I did sometimes. I don't have a clue why my life would be so upsetting. I think I must be doing something wrong. Either my dream life is off or my current life is mixed up. I am pretty sure it's a combination of both! I think this being single at my age is confusing me. I still have such old fashioned views about relationships and dating. I had an amazing conversation with my friend last night and it has really got me thinking about my wants vs. my needs. I don't need a man. I like just the company of a man. I don't need to be loved but I feel better when I am. I don't think I was made to be alone and yet I don't think I am ready for a serious relationship either. It's confusing but it's me. I am good with trying to figure this all out. In time... Love, Michelle |
| Hello Sunshine, I have my first official role as a Wedding Coordinator today. I will be at a bridal show all day advertising my church. Next weekend I have my first wedding. It's really happening! I love it and know that this is a role that will bring me many joys. I love talking to people and nothing is more joyous and fun then a couple "in love". I do feel like I have multiple personalities and that I can have three different careers going at once. It will be challenging. Heck, I was a stay-at-home mom for all those years. I know how to run three things at a time! Have a wonderful love filled day! Love, Michelle |
| Hello Sunshine, I have very little to say anymore. I am too deep inside trying to find my way and make sense of everything. I have to live with the peace and make sense of the crazy talk. I am going to be just fine. I am gonna take it one day at a time and let my soul breath. It has finally hit me I am alone and I am safe. I am content and I will always have outside help if I need it. I am proud of who I am. I am happy being me and today is going to be a fun day! I have the art studio and maybe drinks out later. I don't know. I am just going to go with the flow and see where the wind takes me today. Love, Michelle |
| Hello my sunny pals, I am going to take this lovely month to look inside and find myself. I am going to take some time to figure out what I am doing and where I am going. I am going to ask myself WHY and get to the bottom of some of my harder decisions. I am tired of feeling pulled by life and being scared that I can't take care of myself. Well, I know I CAN! I will make a plan and stick with it. I will move forward and say goodbye to my past. I love being in therapy and having goals. I know that must sound funny because I am a therapist but you know you need other people. I can't do it alone. I can heal myself. I need to talk and bounce ideas around. I know what to do but it helps when I have a professional to help me. It's all good! Love, Michelle |
| Hello my sunny pals, I am sitting at AA Muffler waiting for a flat tire to get fixed. It's just been one of those days! Up at 1:00a.m to a power outage. It didn't take it very long for the house to chill down. I think I am just going to add this day as one more reason that to keep my sense of humor! I seriously need it. I love my life and the fact that I am always surrounded by the people that bring me joy! Thank YOU!!! Love, Michelle |
| Hello my sunny pals, I have to put some energy back into my day! It starts with getting organized. I have been letting my bills and paper work pile up. It's not a healthy site so today I am going to attack it and clear out the mess. I only have one more day at home before I get back to work so I better be productive while I am here. I am so excited to return to my office tomorrow. I think I better bring some lint clothes. I am sure everything is covered in dust and cobwebs. Yes, it's been that long!! I am excited to get my life back! One sweet day at a time. Love, Michelle |
| Hello my sunny pals, Okay I have to sit with Jackson one more day! He will be able to return to school on Thursday. I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am to have him back on track. We had a long meeting with the school and they are really trying to understand him and work for what he needs to be successful in the classroom. I am blessed by so many supportive and loving people in my life. It is a new week and I still have a long way to go to get my life on track and make sense of all these emotional set-backs. I can do it. It's a new day! Love, Michelle |
| Hello my sunny pals, I am in a cloud of memories. I love my luck and I can finally say that Facebook has paid off. I am so amazed that my childhood friend found me. Tim was the first boy that I kissed. Tim was the boy I called buddy and hung out with. He always made me laugh. He was so cute and I had a ton of crushes on him over the years. For the last few days we have been talking on the phone and getting caught up. The best part is the memories of our childhood. I haven't thought about grade school in a long long time. I haven't thought about the embarrassing moments. I hadn't thought about the boys I had crushes on. I hadn't thought about the girls that I played with. I am so happy. I am so excited to be reunited with a long lost friend. I am excited that no matter how much time and distance a person travels you can still go back and laugh at your past. Shared memories are just that shared memories. What caught me off guard was how he described me in high school. How he was intimated by me. How he said that I always held myself with so much confidence. I am thinking back to my high school days and that is not how I felt. How funny that is what he seen in me. He is reminding me that a long time ago I did have my act together. I presented who I wanted to be. I just didn't have the confidence to believe it all the time. Now, I am getting back my confidence. Now I am seeing myself in a better light. I am still that girl that loved to laugh. I am happy! Love, Michelle |
| Hello my sunny pals, Do you ever get confused by your own choices? I am an idiot. I know it. I keep pushing my feelings down. I keep going second. I keep accepting the trash that doesn't belong to me. When am I going to get strong and say enough? I don't have the strength to call and him and tell him goodbye. I don't have the words that won't crush my heart. I don't have the will power to move on. I will be the one that got away. I will be the one he will think about. I will be the one he wishes he could have changed for. I will be the one that walked away. I will be the one that came into his life at the wrong time. I will be the one that he dreams about. I will be the one he wants to control. I will be the one that says no. He will be the one that changed the direction of my soul. He will be the one I have the hardest time letting go. He will be the one I reach for in my sleep. He will be the one I want to keep. He will be the one that makes me weep. I have to stop being so weak. I have to love me! Love, Michelle |
| Hello Sunshine, I am working towards healing and taking a little break for myself. I don't always have to be in charge. I can let things slide but lately things have been sliding too far away from my mental energy. It's not been easy for me to live unorganized. I need structure and work. I need plans. I need baby steps towards wellness. I also need a serious chance to heal my broken heart. I have many more steps to take! Love, Michelle PS...Happy Birthday Sweet Dominica! xx |
| Hello my sunny pals, I have learned that asking for help is not a sign of weakness. I always thought it was but now I know better. I know that I can not do this alone. I went to see a therapist yesterday and I already feel better. I know I have the way out of this inside. I just have to find my way and let go. It's never too late to live the life you are meant to live! I love my life! Love, Michelle |
| Hello my sunny pals, I need to show more love. I need to believe in more love and find my strength. Yesterday was not a good day for me. I was weak and let my emotions get the best of me. It was not cool. Today is a new day and I am filling it with love. I do know how to love. I believe in love. I like the feeling it gives me. I like that rush of sensation I get when I am with my lover. However, I am not talking about my passion. I am talking about that deep feeling of contentment and relaxation. I am talking about that sense of peace that fills my soul. I know I also feel that when I am being kind to myself. When I really love myself I am at peace. I can do anything. Nothing is off limits but my anger. I don't want my day to be filled with fear. I am tired of my anger getting in my way of change. I will love today. I will show it. I will spread it and be kind. Love, Michelle |
| Hello, Sweet Summer wishes! It's so cold outside it reminds me that I don't like it. I want Summer! I want a warm sunny breezy 85 degree day! I want to sit outside in the sunshine. I want to lay in my hammock. I could kick a ball around the yard and play! I wouldn't mind the winter if you could play in it. But this is not playing weather. This is covering up like an Eskimo and running between the car and house. This is the kind of cold that hurts my body and dulls my mind. I have to run away and keep myself busy! Warm my body and soul! Happy Thoughts!! Love, Michelle |
