Today....

Well...today my daughter is going to have a play date. This is something she loves since it's just her in a house full of adults. I will probaly take them out or go to the park. Funny though I don't remember play dates as a child. I was an ONLY child just as she and though I lived in a neighborhood FULL of kids and played with them daily...that was it! I don't REALLY remember having school friends or such coming over to play. Most people I know( including myself) don't let their children out long enough to play with or even find out if there are other children around to play with. Everyone is always scared(including me) of what could happen.
So My question is.....
SHOULD WE LET OUR KIDS GO OUT AND PLAY or KEEP  ORGANIZED PLAY DATES?

Wow..today was a ........

I look at today and I say it was just an ordinary day. But enclosed within it was little gifts of life and tiny blessings in the form of people. I was able to sit and talk to a friend that is about 45 years to my senior. She is such a blessing and EVERY time I leave her I am at peace. There is truth in with age comes wisdom.
I don't want to ramble on but thank you(You know who you are)!

HAS ANYONE HAD A DAY THAT WAS BRIGHTENED BY A FRIEND?????

Hi..I am New to the Blog Scene...
I have read MANY blogs BUT have NEVER written one myself.
I have seen the SUPER BLOGGERS .....who either share their expertise on a subject and so forth or they tell about their lives and the goings on in their busy careers. But I never knew where to start or if anyone would even read the friggin' thing!
But here goes and we shall see!!!!
I am a 38 single mom of one.
(I am almost 40 and I can't beleive it! Jeeeeeezzzz.)
I would call myself a DEEP thinker(I guess) and I usually try to think out of the box. This world is sooooo diverse and people are different and I love that!
Well.... here's a little about me..I am currently NOT employed(I quit). Long story!!!!!
I live in  Florida and I have a beautiful daughter.
I created this blog...not for me really BUT being unemployed many times you loose touch with people somewhat. I so enjoyed my co-workers and helping others and now I don't have that.
I talk to friends on the phone BUT working with the people I was able to get such a UNIQUE view of life ......that I feel I am LOOSING so THUS is the reason for this post.
I want to hear from people, ALL kinds of people from different backrounds and such.
Sometimes when we talk to the same people who have the same CARBON COPY views as us we DON'T grow as people.
So I am NOT going to rattle on about me and me and me some more...I want to hear from you guys...
I have a question.........Do you know If GOOD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE?
I ask this because after speaking to a few friends about their lives and those of their family members? I wonder about this. I'm just not sure. I heard from a friend about aunt that worked so hard in the community only to loose a son to a drive by shooting. I think of my OWN mom who gave gave so much to others BUT is VERY ill now. I wonder about the dear co-worker I used to work with. She thought of EVERYONE but herself only to loose her daughter to an unexpected disease.
I wonder about this...........what do you think.
