When you are committed to doing something, you wait for no one, especially when it’s something that you are meant to do by yourself and for your well being.
Don’t sit waiting for love or life to find you. Go out and get the life and the love will follow.
Sometimes, in order to move on, we need to cease waiting and get going.

Forty! It’s Sheila’s birthday and she’s not particularly enthused. Her thoughts were adrift and disjointed. She had no desire for a big do and wanted to spend the day quietly.
Her introspection made her sad. Her thought was that every line should have fallen into place in her life by now. Babies, her own successful interior decor business, and all the works.
Rather, she’s still stuck in a job that went nowhere. A succession of miscarriages dogged her marriage that it seemed her own baby was not in the books. Ray was distracted; working harder and coming home late.
Queasy stomach emptied of its content, she sat on the toilet lid and stared at the stick. Positive. Her heart jumped in excitement. Could it really be? However, she decided to keep the news to herself in the meantime.
Ray came home later with a gorgeous haute couture gown and silver sandals. He insisted on taking her for a dinner after helping with the zipper of her dress and the buckle of her sandals.
He had organised a surprise party with their close friends in a newly outfitted interior decor store meant for his wife.

Mundane Monday challenge is created to find beauty in almost everything.
The challenge is simple : find beauty in everyday mundane things, capture the beauty and upload the photographs.
I guess you figure why the ordinary pipes caught my eyes.
I listened to see if I could hear the drone of Ben Huberman, Michelle or the Happiness Engineers, but they kept things rather quiet. My guess is that they are working on the ping-backs 😉

A hilarious quote, but true enough 😉
The shopping must have gone well. Now they want to ride a horse 🙂

Yay! My very first guest post is from Pamela of ‘My money counts – money, modest living and enjoying life.’

Her witty letter to Debt is a personal relationship with being indebted and how she got out of it. I enjoyed reading it and I am sure that you will 🙂
Dear Debt,
It’s been a roller coaster ride with you, but it’s time we part ways. I don’t know how much more uncertainty I can take from you. You said you would always be there for me. I thought you had my back, but you lied to me.
There were so many secrets and lies you kept from me. How can a relationship grow that is built on lies? Like the time…
