Eeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwww

Just yuck. I hate that when I see a certain person I’m immediately skeeved out. (If ya think it’s you it probably is). Everything about a person, every aspect of this person, even the mention of this person… I totally despise, pure repugnance… I hate that I feel this way.. I can’t say I hate the person just everything this person says, does, acts… just eww

Gross actions don’t favor you

Lao Tzu said, “Watch your thoughts, they become your words; watch your words, they become your actions; watch your actions, they become your habits; watch your habits, they become your character; watch your character, it becomes your destiny”.

Well ima gonna steer clear…

Best watch my thoughts…

Well then

Crying over spilled milk" is an idiom that means it's pointless to be upset about something that has already happened and can't be changed.

Old saying always amuse me.

This one comes to me recently.

It’s been a week. It’s Friday the 13th.

I’m moving on!!! Not crying about it.

[somethingsherrysays]

Pick me!! Pick me!!!

It’s funny, life that is… you work and have family and maybe a hobby that occupies you.

When work /family/ hobby are in an upheaval all at once ya kinda wonder if it may be you - - me I mean….

My example… I just came back from a 10 day vacation that was extremely wonderful and well…dang reality is all in a topsy turvy. My reality that is. Yes the world is a whole lot of messed up but it’s still rotating on its axel.

Work - like 6 people have quit and moved on to better things for themselves, one is leaving due to going off to college and a long timer just gave a two week notice. I work in a small department. Publix Pharmacy and have a total of maybe 10 employees including myself… we may be understaffed for a hot minute and the future of patients/customers patience may be challenging BUT Ok I say to myself. One day at a time.

Family - all good there I have to say. Other than missing the hell out of my grown daughter and her family— SIL and two grandsons. Everyone is healthy and doing good so I can’t complain. Husband, good 22y/o son, good

Hobby - My sports life - - tennis. In Savannah. I just can’t explain. Wanting to play on some teams and I just can’t get in there. Spots limited, not enough teams, teams too big…. It boggles my mind for sure. But I keep plugging along. Shaking this tree and that tree to figure out where I may land.

In all the uncertainty or upheaval… I just stay positive. Be true to myself. Be me. And just hang in there.

It will all work out in the long run and things will right itself.

Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

SIMPLICITY OF A FAMILY SUMMER VACTION

July 4th through the 15th

My husband, my twin sister and brother in law planned on having this boat trip to the Bahamas. My sister and her husband go just about every summer. My husband Chip and I tagged along this time on their 36 foot cabin cruiser. Beautiful boat and Steve is an awesome sea man.the boats name is LUHR me in. Which I designed for them. Actually I’m quite proud of.

This was Chip and my first trip going to the Bahamas let alone staying on their boat the whole 10 day trip. To tell you that I was excited to go was just an understatement… just the simplicity of hanging out with family… me, my husband, sister Terry, and her husband Steve. Aaaahhh Family Time…

This blog may be a bit boring as I don’t have any drama to add. It was the most spectacular trip we’ve had in a very long time. But I think I’d like to describe myself as this way…simple.. just enjoying the big AND little things brought my way. Looking at life always half FULL. Bumps along the way? Sure, but always workable and thankful for what I have. It was a fabulous trip- - we all didn’t get underneath each other ( as my momma would have said) underneath as in “in each others way or on each others nerves’

We spear fished, bottom fished, snorkeled around looking at the reefs and coral beautiful underwater sites sunken boats. We rode around Spanish Wells island on a Golf carts to take in the beautiful local life. The plants are bountiful from lemons, limes, mangos o’ plenty, jack fruit trees, -amazing btw- avocado and so much more. Everyone we met was so friendly on every island we went to. About the 7th day we headed to Green Turtle Island (just west of Great Abacos) that was the toughest ride. 3 /4 foot swells for maybe one hour then. Que the music🎶 awe awe Aaawwwweee🎶 smooth as glass.

Heaven

I saw a total of four flying fish in my constant bobble head turning from left to right to just take it all in. Even helped Steve …mascerate …read the word carefully…we close but not that close haha if your a boat person - - you know.😉 got to Green Turtle and it rained (only time it rained on our trip) but it didn’t stop our spirits— WE ARE IN THE BAHAMS DAMNIT- - mind soul even spritzers drinks provided by my lovely husband spirits were just fine rain or shine.

Onto Walkers Cay to finish our trip out for a good couple of days… Walkers Cay is where most people come to check in from Florida area. Airstrip / island is about a mile long so there is a little private airstrip.

Breathtaking… again, the simplicity

Bimini, Chub Cay, Euluthera - Spanish Wells, Green Turtle, (black sound/ white sound- little populated areas close to Green Turtle), Walkers Cay, Double- Breasted Island (where the sand is like stepping on pillows).

Unplugged and I’d do it all over again in a heartbeat.

Worthy: having or showing the qualities or abilities that merit recognition in a specified way. A person notable or important in a particular sphere.

Cocky: so confident and sure of their abilities that they annoy. Over confident, brash, arrogant.

Finding myself in a women’s sport and the difference between WORTHY and knowing what you bring to the game… practicing hard for that goal…self confidence without being cocky.

I’ve met both in sports and in life in general. What I’ve learnt is that the cocky is a whole lot of low self esteem and trying to convince oneself of importance, love, acceptance.

I want to thank my parents (God bless their souls- gone but always forever in this world) want to thank for the morals, well roundedness, peaceful mind, hard work, outlook on life, ethics and thankfulness I possess. I ALWAYS try to see the good in everything. Enjoy what I have and what I’ve earned. I have no understanding on the people that struggle (I know they exist) Mental health is for real. I just don’t understand it. In saying this in no way am I taking away or belittling the ones that struggle in mental well being. Life IS what it is. See the good in everything and accept it for what it is. Know your worth. Be kind. Love all. BE WORTHY.

Easily influenced

With this age of TikTok and Reels and online whatever we all watch and quickly coming to conclusions on what we just seen on video…is really a bit disturbing to me. I’m not one to say “oh not me” or “ I would never” I watch these forms of technology… and…well…I form opinions. Sadly, yes I do . I don’t want to but I do. Quickly too. I might have to give myself a stern talking’ to!!! I just watched the 20/20 Ruby Franke news documentary and I’m just like W.H.A.T. What the hell!!! YouTuber/ influencer. Widely followed influencing others while so so messed up and wrong in her own life. Why??? Why do we follow so easily not even knowing what people are actually doing. How do we just follow, be influenced…and THEN find out truths. It’s nuts. I try not to judge— look at both sides of a story or person- - be open…well for sure I’m going to try to be more eyes open…listen, don’t cast that stone. Follow some good moral upbringing , judgement…And definitely DON’T BE EASILY INFLUENCED

so, I’m one of those moms

I have two children. Yes …I call them children- - they grown- - at least one of them is for sure…the other I’ll give him a minute…very close.

32 y/o daughter…on her own. 21 y/o son…almost there

so I have friends that are so involved in their grown children’s lives…call everyday if not see them, move close to them…just an everyday occurrence.

THAT’S NOT ME

I love my kids but they grown, busy, have a life and quite frankly so do I. Have a life…I’m busy. I’m active. I work part-time. I play a lot of tennis. I have my art. I’m busy!!! So when people say how’s the kids? I guess they’re good. Weeks will go by and yes I haven’t talked to them, either child… I know they are thriving and doing well…as a parent I’ve done my job. They good. They grown. And loved!!!❤️❤️

awareness of

writing a blog has been something I’ve been pondering for quite some time now…

I’ve got stories to tell. Funny stories, short stories, heartfelt stories…everyday stories. Most true to my life and or people I surround myself with.

I start this little venture on September 11th. A day of remembrance.

A day I find myself reflecting on several incidents and the people that I have here and the ones no longer here on earth but always with me. Of course ALL the families affected by the awful act of 9/11. May you realize we all are strong together. Me, personally with my awful memory I have - - my husband tells me all the time

husband: “come on Sherry you don’t remember”… such and such”

me: “ yea…uuummm… no, no I don’t”

but 9/11 I do remember. Affected all of us even if we weren’t directly affected , wait is that bad for me to say, I hope not. I do remember that day, makes me really reflect on others in my life now and the ones I hold fondly in memory. With both parents and in-laws (both) passing on within a 13 month span, May 2020 to July 2021, I miss them all. Remembering the great times together even if it was as simple as a voice on a phone call… brother gone way too soon-friends as well. Giving them their own minute remembrance in my mind…very therapeutic.

so today along with everyday …

awareness of

is what I do.
