April First ;-p

Apr3

So, I had the jury thing on Monday, April 1st!!! Like I have previously mentioned, I LOVE going! I love everything about it and being surrounded by people!

When I am around a large group of people whether or not I know them, I feel so energized, so uplifted, so hopeful.

I see/feel so much potential and hope in others. I feel so many dreams swirling throughout the air and every cell of my body.

There is a quote I have read some years ago that goes something like this “Each person is a door to a new world.”. I do not know the author or source of the quote but I completely agree with it. Every person has an incredible uniqueness and the incredible potential to bring amazing things to this life and the world around us. I love diversity and various kinds of people.

So I loved being in that room in the Criminal Justice Center.

In all my years I have not once regretted being selected for jury service.

But that day, this year I was exhausted. I wasn’t tired the night before and I got three hours or less of sleep and when I got up I was overcome with a tired kind of sickness.

But it soon disappeared then returned later after I got there.

I was sitting in the room for a few hours. Hoping I would not fall asleep. I was happy to be there but for the first day ever I hoped I would get to go home kind of early.

Some people get out as early as 9:00am while others are required to stay until after 5:00pm.

If we aren’t chosen for a trial we must go back to that big room and wait for another round and on and on.

I got chosen for a panel for a criminal case that day but the people weren’t ready for us yet.

So I had to wait.

Sixty people had to leave the room for a panel.

Then just before 12:00 in the afternoon the friendly and funny lady who works at the Criminal Justice Center came in and cut off the tvs while we were all in the middle of watching some game show right before we got to see if the girl won money! Talk about a disappointment! Lol 😉

 

But then

She said through the loud speaker, “This is no April Fools joke!”. Which made me instantly think it was! Then she said “Everyone in this room gets to go home right now!”

Everyone started clapping and cheering and I was very amused but I still thought it was a joke! They don’t send everyone in that room home all at once like that! There must have been over 100 people in there!

But when she started talking about our checks that we get for going I knew we got lucky and really did get to leave!

😀

She said one trial fell through and there were glitches here and there and everywhere or something like that! Lol

She told us this occurrence is extremely rare and especially for a Monday. On Monday the jurors usually don’t get out until well after 3:30pm, usually not until at least 5:00pm!

But we were fortunate to escape then! Yay! Lol

 

So I went straight home for a looong nap! With my snuggle-bunny (my big pitbull who I don’t sleep well without!)

 

Yesterday on a bus there was a very cheerful old lady sitting in the front talking about April Fools Day. She said “Yesterday was April Fool’s Day and I was trying to get everyone I could anyway I was able to!”. Lol! And she was telling people her funny jokes she played on people. 😀

I thought that was so cute. I love the cheeriness and zest she possessed and how she had so much desire. How inspiring! ❤

 

I hope everyone is having a lovely day/night! ❤

Lucky One. <3

I love country music. It’s beautiful and amazing and I love that beautiful Southern accent, so gorgeous!

One of my absolute favorite songs, which is a country song, is “Lucky Man” by Montgomery Gentry.

It’s a beautiful song that inspires me everyday. The message in the song is how it’s possible even in the midst of bad things to see what great things we have. It’s about seeing the goodness of our lives no matter what. It’s a very realistic song. The singer admits that sometimes his life really just seems to suck and he compares it to what others have or what could/should have been. But then he looks around at the beauty of his own life and then he realizes all he has. I think this is something we can all relate to. I think just about everyone has those moments or days where we think our life is terrible or we feel ungrateful and uninspired and just want to curse it. But we can just take a breath and see all the greatness we are blessed with. 

 

“I have days where I hate my job, this little town and the whole world too

Last Sunday when my Bengals lost, Lord, it put me in a bad mood

I have moments when I curse the rain

Then complain when the sun’s too hot

I look around at what everyone has

And I forget about all I’ve got

But I know I’m a lucky man”

Montgomery Gentry 

 

For the last few days I haven’t been in the most grateful mood. I wanted to feel sorry for myself and felt myself being pulled into a whirlwind of negative and anxious thoughts.

But I forced myself to see the beauty all around me, to feel the beauty that can be tapped into at any given moment.

Last night I laid in my bed peering out the window feeling pissed and depressed not knowing of one specific reason. I wished I would see a star out the window like I sometimes do. I craved to be inspired by nature’s beauty. But the sky was complete blackness and that just disappointed me. Then sometime later, not sure if I drifted off to sleep or what or if I was just in a sleepy state but all of a sudden I was awake and peered out my window again and through the bare tree branches I saw not one, but TWO beautiful little sparkling stars peering back at me! I felt so amazed and so grateful. It was truly a beautiful experience! 😀

<3. 

I truly am blessed to have a bedroom with a window that has a beautiful view of a tree which in warm weather has gorgeous green leaves some resembling hearts and sometimes I can even see stars through the spaces in the middle of the leaves and in the cold weather the branches are bare and I can see stars clearly. So lovely. ❤

I could have had a window seeing a brick wall or whatever but I get to see the beautiful nature’s wonder!

On Valentine’s Day I had it planned to post a self-love post to help people more easily bestow love upon themselves instead of just always lusting after romantic or other forms of external love. But I was somewhat depressed that day and extremely fatigued and I pretty much slept the day away! I wasn’t depressed for any one reason. I guess it was just my chronic disorder acting up. So I slacked on that post but will still definitely post it!

 

I am a lucky girl. So blessed, it’s true.

I have five beautiful senses. A body that functions perfectly for the most part. I have the stars in the sky above me. What more can I possibly ask for?! 😀

Here is a list of happy and inspirations for me right now!:

 

1.) I’m so happy the it’s going to be Spring soon! I cannot wait now! Spring to me is symbolic of new hope and new beginnings, new growth and beautiful fruition.

 

2.) Salted caramel, mocha iced lattes with whipped cream! Yum! 😀

 

3.) Morning Glory body spray that smells lovely in my hair and is NOT tested on animals! I think the company is Calgon (??). Or something! Lol. I buy this stuff every year and forget! :-p 

 

4.) Philosophy books and readings I have recently come across! I love Philosophy!! ❤

 

5.) An attitude of gratitude itself is a reason to be thankful!

 

6.) My pain disorder has been inactive lately!

 

7.) Today I got to see my coworker’s smiling face unexpectedly and her baby nephew! So cute!! ❤

 

8.) Cute knick knacks!!

 

9.). Some inspirational websites I have recently come across!

 

10.) This quote: “We all take different paths in life, but no matter where we go, we take a little of each other everywhere.” ~ Tim McGraw

 

“And even my bad days ain’t that bad

Yeah, I’m a lucky man

I’m a lucky lucky man”

Montgomery Gentry

 

Look at the sun in my pic!! That’s what it really looked like that day! So big. So beautiful! So much inspiration!

❤

I hope everyone can take a moment to see the beauty all around us and stay strong even when you don’t feel much like it! Give more when you feel like giving up!! ❤
