My glaring objective lately: Focus.....not just focus, but focusing on the right thing! I have had my share of challenges and obstacles, just like everyone else... I don't have control over how they come at me or why they happen; I do have control over is how I deal with them and how I focus on the realities of the situation....not being the victim of a situation or someone's attack or misunderstanding....but knowing my own truth and focusing on the positive side of things....easy, no....does it come natural to me....no....am I working on it....yes!
With the continual recovery from Steve's surgeries dragging on....and more test that are scheduled, we declared a get away....Palm Springs is a close by favorite of ours.
We were greeted by this incredible full rainbow outside our room....just spectacular in the blue skies and with the mountain and palm trees. We walked and ate and sat by the pool and relaxed and soaked in the sun....PS reminds me of growing up in Phoenix....the smell of the desert, the plants, the warmth of the sun and the beauty of nature.....
We always get a kick of going by Elvis' Honeymoon house and Nancy Sinatra's mid century modern retreat. It is like the 60's are alive and well in PS
This was new....a statue of Marilyn Monroe....it is huge....just look at the guy standing under it to get an idea of scale....
We like to stay over a Thursday for the weekly Street Fair....they close down the main street and all the vendors come and everyone in town and visitors gather....it reminds me of the Western life of an European Plaza....this food wagon was amazing....
This artist had some bright and cheerful work!
I loved this booth of Vintage dresses....this one was adorable....
My splurge was this rose gold sea themed necklace....hard to see but it has rhinestones on all the figures...starfish, sea horse, fish, sand dollars....etc. love it
We came home and I packed up Valentines Day and drug out St. Pats.....
A few little things to attract luck and leprechauns!
We had a sleep over with the boys....Brody loves to use the Keurig to make hot chocolate...
He was so inspired with this cup of warmth he recorded it in his diary, complete with picture of the mug.....he is so dang cute.
My bestie Annette wanted me to go to a new store opening and of course I said yes!
We got there so early we were the first ones in line and greeted by the CEO of the store, Yoshi, from Japan. What a gentleman! He chatted us up and gave us all the scoop about things and there were over 800 people in line when it opened. It was really fun and exciting, music, drawings, games, etc. But we were so tired when we got in we were not in the mood to shop....hahahahahhahahaha.....only her and I could talk for 3 hours and never have a quiet minute!
Right from there I high tailed it to the ball park for Brody and Dylan's game....I love baseball and love that my boys love it....
They are really improving in their skills and knowledge of the game.....
Gramps got two tomato plants for the garden and we got those in the ground too....they both love to dig in the dirt and grow things....
Along with their love of fish.....they are hoping to add to their aquatic pets for their birthdays....
So we did a little scouting at the pet store.....
Kristen and I also headed to LA to see The Talk, got lots of prizes and drove around our old stomping ground....it was fun to spend the day with her and get my LA fix!
Focusing on the positive and fun things in life.....they far outweigh bad! Have a great week!
