Weekend….

So, by some stroke of serendipity (I’ve been stumbling over a lot of that, lately) the latest ‘old’ entry that popped up was talking about transplanting bushes, and OS kindly noted that this time of year is about the best time of year to do it (bushes are dormant, ground isn’t frozen) and it’s been raining BUCKETS for the last two – no, three – days – making the ground softer than my hair.

So.

Looks like I might be transplanting bushes this weekend. The move-to ditch is mostly done – I did that much earlier in the year, and I just need to rip out the greenery that has overtaken it, and finish expanding it. The bushes themselves will be ‘fun’ to dig up and move – but I need to do it anyhow, as it’s messing with my gardening steelo, so, that’ll be okay.

I’m also supposed to get my treadmill this weekend (yippee!!) so I need to clean the junk from outside the house.

I need closed crocs to work outside in – not the ones with the holes in it, as it’s wet and cold and wet & cold feet are the anti-funness.

I got this interesting email yesterday, and I’m going to try to start encorporating the suggestion into my daily life.

Did you know that by simply removing one word from your vocabulary, and replacing it with another, you can put yourself in the driver’s seat and gain 100 percent control of your life? 

More often than not, the word “CAN’T” is the culprit of your failures. By replacing “CAN’T” with “WON’T,” you open the door to asking yourself the right questions that may help you get out of your own imaginary prison.  

Do you say “I can’t take a vacation,” or “I can’t get a better job”?  

By changing those statements to, “I won’t take a vacation,” and “I won’t get a better job,” what questions are raised?  

Why won’t you? What’s holding you back? What are you not willing to do to make it happen? Plenty of people have done those things, and are doing them right now as you’re reading this, so they’re obviously not real impossibilities!  

Start your transformation by paying close attention to when and how you use the word “can’t,” and then repeat the sentence in your mind, replacing “can’t” with “won’t.” Analyze the sentence, and you may be in for an awakening.

I thought that was interesting, and challenging, and relatively simple, overall, so – yeah.

Urmmm. I think that about it.

Stay warm, ya’ll.
