Moving right along...la la la la la la la la


Movin' right along in search of good times and good news,With good friends you can't lose,This could become a habit!Opportunity knocks once let's reach out and grab it (yeah!),Together we'll nab it,We'll hitchhike, bus or yellow cab it!(Cab it?)

Movin' right along.Footloose and fancy-free.Getting there is half the fun; come share it with me.Moving right along (doog-a-doon doog-a-doon).We'll learn to share the load.We don't need a map to keep this show on the road.(Hey, that song is sounding better Fozzie.)Movin' right along,We've found a life on the highway.And your way is my way,So trust my navigation.

Desert Ridge here we come, the pie-in-the-sky-land.Palm trees, and warm sand.Though sadly we just left Scottsdale (We did what?!)(Just forget it.)Movin' right along (doog-a-doon doog-a-doon).

Moving right along, nice town!Footloose and fancy-free,You're ready for the big time...Is it ready for me?

Movin' right along,Movin' right along,Movin' right along,Movin' right along.

Finding Excitement

Silver Rose just sent an article around about finding Excitement, not happiness. She said, "while we think we seek happiness, what we really want is excitement. Ferris, an author, puts it this way: "The question you should be asking isn't, "What do I want?" or "What are my goals? but "What would excite me?""

So as I sit here and contemplate that...I find that many, many things excite me. I'm excited when I finish a project, when I dance on a stage, when I give a presentation, when I complete a training, when I'm mentoring, when I'm sewing a costume, when I get a pat on the back, when I'm hiking a high peak and I make it to the top, when I paint my toes...so what does this say about me? That I'm easily excited--or excitable?? I think maybe I have already found the activities and job that get me excited as I think I've always lived my life this way...so for this I'm TOTALLY EXCITED!

slinky Slinky



What walks down stairs, alone or in pairs, and makes a slinkity sound?
A spring, a spring, a marvelous thing! Everyone knows it's Slinky.
It's Slinky, it's Slinky. For fun it's a wonderful toy.
It's Slinky, it's Slinky. It's fun for a girl or a boy.
It's fun for a girl or a boy!

My co-worker sent me a slink in the mail today--unmarked--I was very confused, shocked, and surprised and was laughing out loud as I tried to figure out who the mysterious sender was! I'm very grateful that he sent it because it was just what I needed to relieve some of the stress and to keep me grounded. A good reminder that life is FUN and not to take things too seriously!
