What is your favorite type of weather?

I live in upstate NY and you all probably know what that’s like. On average, we get about 8 months of cold/rainy/snowy weather and 4 months of rockstar weather. I love the change of seasons. Like everything else in life, even the sunshine could get exhausting also. I need to see those leaves changing to the fiery reds, burnt oranges, golden yellows, and deep purples. There’s also a different smell in the air. The smell of camp fires magically appear out of nowhere. Even the sounds are different. When the wind blows, you can hear the rustle of the leaves blowing across the ground. At the end of summer, my mom always said, “the trees, grass, and bugs are tired, and they need to rest too.” At first, I didn’t understand what she truly meant but I see it now. The once bright fresh greens that the leaves used to be now appear subdued and look like a deep olive color.

Change is good. I welcome change and I don’t mind whatever mother nature brings my way. I really love all types of weather in upstate NY.

I am no expert on peanut butter and salsa


Relationships. That is a big word. Relationships can be difficult and can be easy for the most part. They’re like recipes. Do peanut butter and salsa go together? For me, no. For others, maybe? It depends on your taste. The two key words there are, “your taste.” What might not work for you can very work well for others. Who are we to judge?

A relationship can’t be forced. If you really want something to work you should lay it all out before you start the process. Give that trial process sometime to figure out the other person. At least try. If a little ways down the road you feel like eh something isn’t sitting right, well you move on. Don’t stay in it to make the other person happy or because you think it’s the right thing to do. Don’t, because doing the “right thing” for any other reason than being in it because it makes you happy, isn’t the right thing. It will backfire and time will be lost. Time that’s lost and you can’t get back in this lifetime.

Be patient. Being alone isn’t a bad thing when you are waiting for the right one to come along. You will know it when it happens.

How long does it take?


How long does it take for someone to figure what makes them happy? I guess it varies on the person. What’s important to you? What is it that can truly make you happy? What is stopping you?

Is it fear, change, money, or someone else or even yourself? Do you think you are truly happy?

Anything and anyone can be holding you back.

It’s time to make the change or at least have a plan to move forward.

Listen to Me


Stop worrying, stop feeling bad about hurting other peoples feelings when you are hurting inside because of them. If they have no regard for you that’s not a reflection of what you’re doing, that’s all on them. You need to move on. No matter how much you apologize and no matter what you say it will not change their behavior. Why should you suffer because of it? Stop.
