Open to new....CLOSED to old...

The birds are singing away this morning. I love the spring for so many reasons and that is one. Even though we have so much snow on the ground the chirpers make me happy.

It is definitely time to take care of business areound here. I want more work and need to get a couple of jobs knocked out this week. Oh yeah! I forgot to pay my rent and isn't today the 6th? OOPS... Quick drop off this morning I guess.

I had a lot of fun with Bob Saturday! Ours is a friendship that is so peaceful and easy. I know that men have these kinds of friendships...don't talk for a long time, run into each other and it is as though you saw each other yesterday...most women do not. We tend to say hi how are you and on your way....especially if there were ever any "wrong-doings" on either's part. But with guys it all falls back into place. I love it. We are very close and can talk about anything and everything. No topic too big or small, too intense or even embarrassing. I like the freedom it brings to conversations.

I am anxious to hear from the mortgage guy today....I know that it will all be well, but I can't help but be a slight bit nervous anyway. I want that house so badly and am a bit fearful....stop it though Amy! No fear!

My weakness has continued in the bumming cigs area and I am determined to STOP!!! How useless. I imagine it is because I have not been truly focused on any reading etc...for a week or so. Therefore my mind wanders back to that. So, some new reading is on tap for me. I have been doing my writing here, and it has been fulfilling, but it really isn't enough. So, that is next on the list to keep my mind engaged and open to new things and closed to the old. And those nasty things are OLD NEWS!!!

Good for you, Amy! Let me know if there's anything an "old" friend can do! :0)

I like the simplicity of this one Amy! You are totally right about guy-girl relationships. Keep up with the quiting thing, you are a strong woman.
