July 12 Eating your own words

I have this saying I always tell people when they say something like "I should...call so and so or help do such and such."

I always say "If you think of doing something good for someone, do it, stop what you are doing and do it immediately."

The immediately is because we tend to talk ourselves out of so many good things. Maybe it's too late to call? Maybe they'll be embarrassed to get flowers or a gift basket at work as a thank you? Maybe I could do something even better if I take some time to think of my options. Those ideas in our head turn into thoughts of well it's too late to help out now because it has been 6 weeks since they needed help and I have already missed their birthday, etc.

I was reminded of this today as I had thought of doing something for someone that kind of was thrown in my face, they have no idea but I know and I realized I had not heeded my own words. Me!!! Miss, savor ever second is still screwing up royally on her own life mantras.


TOPIC CHANGE
Why is it when the sweet old man at church calls me sweetheart it is ok but when it is the 20 year old waiter at Chili's I want to spit and hiss at him? Probably because I figure he is flirting for a bigger tip.

I dunno, I hear that cougar is the fashion this year so perhaps I should look into some 20 year olds. But I think the older woman is expected to be rich, shucks!! Yeah, I need a rich old man with good insurance who doesn't care if I die soon. (My family is really going to be ticked I left that smart remark in here. I'll go await the "are you ok, do we need to come phone calls")

ONE LAST TOPIC
So I have had this phone number for months for a volunteer organization to come help you clean your house during cancer and I refused to call but I finally broke down and called this weekand my appointment was for this morning. So I set my alarm and got up at 6 to clean before she got here at 9. I know, sad. And I did bizarre stuff she isn't even going to do like clean my stove. ANd I did just shove some clutter in cabinets which I can now go through this week and trash. I do still need some help with dusting mostly but she called to reschedule and I was glad because I need a nap which is pretty sad after only 3 hours of manual labor.

Ok, that's all for today, nap time. Go see a friend you've been meaning to visit and eat a sno cone today for me.
