Thoughts Of the Day

By SheelaR

For some odd reason, it doesn’t feel like a Friday night.  I’m so hyped that I can actually work another day.  Maybe I will. I’ve got huge piles of stuff on my desk. I’ve got an endless amount of energy right now, but I know it’s temporary and I should be saving it for something else.  However, my mind wants to go on forever. *taking a deep breath* I might need to sleep on it. I’ll probably feel differently in the morning.  

My friend, Arty called.  I was so excited to hear from him.  His new baby boy was born with a heart defect. It is very sad to think of a baby so new, being so sick. He is such a cute and cuddly little boy.  I’ve never seen him in person, but his photos speak volumes of the joy he brings.  Arty and his wife moved while she was pregnant.  The last time I saw them was at their baby-shower.  As a friend, I just want to give them a hug.  After Caden’s surgery they’re planning to visit Arty’s parents.  I can’t wait to hold baby Caden.

Speaking of never seeing the baby…

I thought that I would miss my ‘friends’ more, but I’ve not lost one nights sleep over it.  It’s funny how quickly we adjust, adapt and move on.  Oh well…  Life does go on. I refuse to be stuck in a rut over fair-weather ‘friends.’  I must have reached my expiration date with them. Haha! Funny but true. I’m focusing on my current and new friendships, real and otherwise.  It’s kind of funny that someone would delude themselves into thinking that people had abandoned me.  Really? Silly rabbit! *evil laugh*

Some people recognize real and they don’t need proof of life (play on a movie title).  They don’t need a bathroom selfie, or a selfie of someone in their car on their way to work. They don’t need copy of a birth certificate, affidavits from the grandparents, the deed to a house or a passport. Only you need that. Howard Hughes, J.D. Salinger (The Catcher in The Rye author), Greta Garbo, Harper Lee (To Kill a Mockingbird author), Emily Dickinson, Bobby Fisher, and Thomas Pynchon, were all famous recluses, but they were real people.  I’m not a recluse, but you get my point…right? *looks up and prays for your soul*

I’ve got these delicious onion rolls in my kitchen and they’ll probably be perfect for a turkey sandwich.  A salad and some chocolate chip cookies would be lovely too. I guess I need to get busy in the kitchen.  That turkey sandwich isn’t going to make itself.
