Toto…We’re Home…Get the Juicer…

There’s something about a few days away…that always finds me…clicking my ruby slippers…and…mumbling…there’s no place like home…there’s no place like home…but…there’s more to it…than just getting back into my familiar surroundings…for…some odd reason…I come home…wanting to live a better life…
I think back on my trip…time with my daughter’s family…time with my granddaughters…time well spent…but…time…totally out of my comfort zone…different schedules…different foods…different activities…no writing…wondering…what exactly makes me want make positive changes in my life…
Okay…I can hear you asking…what kind of changes…and…it’s only fair I should tell you…I did bring it up…after all…
This time…I came home…wanting to be healthier…wanting to enjoy more healthy veggies…wanting to get my nutrients out of my food…not out of a bottle…wanting to exercise more…
So…I went for a walk after I got home…and…ordered a juicer this morning…never wanted one before…suddenly…gotta have it…and…no…my daughter does not have a juicer…but…wait…I did see one on TV…while I was gone…
Hmmm…that brings me back to a recent post…As Seen on TV…geez…I hope the juicer doesn’t end up in the drawer…with the bra strap thingies…oh…wait…I’m safe…it’s too big to fit in the drawer…but…I digress…
How does being away…create my desire for positive change…well…get ready…Bertha…that’s right…Bertha…says…that it’s all about getting out of my…rut…routine…that brings new ways of thinking to the forefront…that helps me change my perspective…
What can I say…she’s right…and…there’s no point in arguing with her…she always wins…and…then she gloats…so…I’ll just concede without a battle…
The juicer should be here next week…I hope I still want it by the time it gets here…

Call the Tow Truck…

Somehow…I’m off my schedule…it happens sometimes…but…I never like it when it does…getting to bed later…sleeping later…I think my body wanted to go directly from Easter weekend…into…Spring Break…unfortunately…our school calendar didn’t agree with my body…so…I’m working this in-between week…
I’m sure Bertha would find some poignant connection between this…and…my life…some…jewels…words of wisdom…but…I’m thinking that she may have slept in herself…I don’t hear her chatting away in my brain…
Hmmm…more coffee…
And…the words come…when I’m stuck in a rut…something has to pull me out…
Hmmm…maybe I shouldn’t have drank the coffee…but…she’s right…I have been getting into…a…pretty tight…okay…rigid…routine…lately…and…honestly…nothing stifles creativity…like a rigid routine…
So…I suppose…I should welcome this break…of my familiar…of my habits…perhaps…I will be more creative…on the other side…of the rut…
