Kay it's Tuesday

Random Thoughts

~ Check the thoughts before they exit your mouth:

I recently had GSD and TJP over for dinner with MyLuc n' I and mentioned something that I had read on one of the many blogs I lurk in. GSD didn't take it very well and holy moses...did I ever feel like a heel. She said no worries but yep, wrong thing to tell a chronic worrier. *sigh*Plus I am happy for the guy. I mean we all need happiness right? And she has a new person in her life and has/had moved on. It's all good. Right?!?

On my way outta town TJP called to see what was going on and I said I was heading out of town. I then proceeded to tell her that she could "occupy Luc" if she was free. WTF!!! I didn't catch it for like 5 seconds until the driver of the vehicle I was in almost had to pull over because she was laughing so hard. Itsa really good thing that people know what I mean when I have trouth mubles like this.

~ Speaking of which:

I went to a SCA event in Sooke on the Island. It was awesome. I was awarded with an Award of Arms. Its an award for service. ie: constable (patrolling for trouble), gate (door, collecting entry fees), water bearing (bringing water to the men in armor). My SCA title is now - Lady Phoebe Baxter. Hoorah for me. Although on the award itself it was spelled Poebe Baxtep *sigh* I guess in Runes there is no R so the Baxtep is understandable but the Poebe - no way jose - there is totally an H - especially since in the award itself some words contain one.

Work is going okay. We're still short some staff members and an accountant and a HR person. I mentioned to the main lawyer that I needed to get an advance on this pay and he almost fainted on the spot. Not giving just the regular pay but extra. Goodness. Ifn he's worried about that he won't like that I want $400. *shrug* I wouldn't ask if I didn't need it. We'll see come payday.

Okay, funny for Tuesday:

To get the full effect, this should be read aloud. You will understand what 'tenjewberrymuds' means by the end of the conversation. This has been nominated for the best email of 2005.

The following is a telephone exchange between a hotel guest and room-service, at a hotel in Asia, which was recorded and published in the Far East Economic Review:

I Wish You Enough!

Recently I overheard a mother and daughter in their last moments together at the airport. They had announced the departure. Standing near the security gate, they hugged and the mother said, "I love you and I wish you enough". The daughter replied, "Mom, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Mom".

They kissed and the daughter left. The mother walked over to the window where I was seated. Standing there I could see she wanted and needed to cry. I tried not to intrude on her privacy but she welcomed me in by asking, "Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?". Yes, I have," I replied. "Forgive me for asking, but why is this a forever good-bye?".

"I am old and she lives so far away. I have challenges ahead and the reality is - the next trip back will be for my funeral," she said. "When you were saying good-bye, I heard you say, 'I wish you enough'. May I ask what that means?".

She began to smile. "That's a wish that has been handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone". She paused a moment and looked up as if trying to remember it in detail and she smiled even more. "When we said , 'I wish you enough', we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain them".

Then turning toward me, she shared the following as if she were reciting it from memory.

I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.
I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye.

She then began to cry and walked away.

They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them.

TAKE TIME TO LIVE.....

To all my friends and loved ones, I WISH YOU ENOUGH *HUGE HUGS*
