God put very special people in my day today.I need to be shown kindness and he placed some really cool people in my day.It was so nice and very much needed.I was beginning to lose me and my happiness.
I worked a different location today and the people I worked with were great.Real genuine people.I went to Gelsons this evening and I approached a gentlemen who looked like he worked there and I asked and he said no,I apologized and then he asked anyway,do you need help with anything? The man didn't even work at the store and was willing to assist me.That my friends is a diamond in the rough.
It was such a more pleasant day today.My spirits are lifted.Now to stay the course.

You must remember this....
I was in Orange County this weekend visiting my roots,and I was carrying my large suitcase and a big heavy bag,grant it I am always carrying heavy bags,you could quite possibly call me the bag lady,but any-who,a older male and I assume his wife offered his assistance and as sad as that is,it was so refreshing that I was asked if I needed help.How sad is that,that a girl get's all hot and bothered when a man acts as he should.
The following day I return back to lost Angeles and have to make four trips to my second floor walk up,and there were men that could have assisted but looked the other way.Today's generation is depressing. I guess a woman needs to date a 60 year old man to be treated and respected like a lady should. Go ahead call me old fashion but that will not bother me.
I have noticed over the past week or so how self involved people are. Do not mis understand me,I do not judge or criticize,I just say it how it is. My apologies if it offends you but if it is offending you then you might be the person I am talking about. I believe LA is the worst because most people are out here for themselves,to further their "career". If you are so focused on your life then you should not bring others into it,if you can't put the time and respect in that they deserve. The meaning of a true buss-um friend is completely lost. Some of you might not even understand what it is I am talking about. Watch Anne of Green Gables,a little feminine for the guys but hey most of you are these days so enjoy the film.
There is one person in LA who I can trust and relay on. I am very blessed to have him in my life. When he says he will do something he does it.It is a very rare quality to have now a days.
Where I work as opened my eyes to a lot of things as well.I am really pushing people to see the film,"Whistle-blower",please see that and then see what there is to complain about.I myself realized how much complaining I do over petty things that will not even matter the next day.Why do we do this?Too self involved?Too focused on the ME factor?
To find someone you can trust and count on is like a diamond in the rough.Seriously.If you have someone in your life,you treat them right and do not take them for granite.I am struggling right now in life.No pity please,just going through the hard ships and the curve-balls that life throws out at you,but I think that is God's reminder, he is checking in with you.I am not focusing on him at all.I always struggle with my walk with God.I fall short very quickly and it is usually do to something that disappears out of my life anyways and not worth it at all.I know what I need to do and what God wants me to do in my life and for my life.It is all a matter of perspective.
Relationships can sometimes be like a snake bit.You have to drain all the poison out before you can heal and move on.If someone is making you feel worse about yourself or complicating your life,why have them in it?You choose who you let make you mad,or upset,or happy,or sad. We get to choose who we socialize with. A pastor once said,"The role of the ego gets in the way". That is so true. He also said" Fear is cheating me out of things that can be enjoyed". I really liked that. Fear holds us back for so many things.
LA can be a very lonely city I have come to notice.There are days where I just want someone to sit with me as I just cry because I am at a loss.Where there is no judgement,just there to hold me as a friend to tell me it is alright.There is one person in LA I met but he is out of town at the moment but eventually he will come back.You all know what I am talking about,because we are all human and have somewhat the same emotions.We all want to know that at the end of the day we can count on someone,that someone is there if needed.That is one of the greatest feelings in the world in my opinion.
When I was in the OC this weekend,I drove my dad's convertible through the canyon,blasting a nice mix CD i made and was singing to the top of my longs,being around God's nature.That free sensation is priceless and was much needed.I think I want to go away to a cabin in the mountains for a month,no phone,no connection to people,to be still.Catch up on all the books on my dusty shelf,catch up on my list of films I still need to watch.Then at night go for a walk and look at the stars.You cannot see many stars in LA or the OC.Then you just listen to the sound of the creek,some birds,the wind,and that is all.That my friend is bliss.I am somewhat describing my Grandfathers cabin in Mammoth. It is beautiful up there,and being surrounded by God's creations is so rewarding,and fulfilling. To have quiet time,to think,figure out who you are,what you believe in,who you love,don't like,what you want to work on.Just to be still.
There are so many things I want to accomplish in my life,I have already started my bucket list.Not sure if that is good or not but O well. Right now I am realizing what and who is truly important in my life.When they are gone,will I wish I had worked on that relationship instead of holding a grudge?Should I be more positive in life and look outside the box?
I had a customer that complained she had to walk back to a dept. store to validate her parking.I wanted to inform her that there are 5 year olds that will never walk,so you can shove that ticket right up your.......
but that would get me fired.I feel sorry for those people,they do not appreciate the life they have,and probably will not unless it is taken from them.God makes everything happen for a reason I believe.
