#heyitsok

Time slips quicker than ever, it seems; so I must be doing something right. Summer is here indeed, and our plans are moving along. We house-hunted; we celebrated little things, and made some new big things; gained and lost friends; there was a thunderstorm, which is very rare for my neck of the woods.

 It seems like so much has happened, and at the same time, nothing significant happened yet. So, I figured, all the snippets of time that came and fled, are best captured in a form of thoughts, flowing freely, all while answering various questions that arose in the number of weeks since I last signed-in here.

 June’s Hey, It’s OK –

 ... to go back-and-forth in excitement and nervousness while committing to the largest purchase of your life – your home...

 ... to take pride in your achievements...

 ... to not be passive in making important decisions: others can sympathize, but they won’t make them for you...

 ... to make plans with other friends, when someone craps out last minute...

 ... to miss someone still, even while knowing their friendship is not a good one – we’re not robots, and miss the good times; and yes, dismiss the bad ones sometimes...

 ... to buy yourself nice things once in a while...

 ... to prefer your lifestyle choices over those of others. And, defend them, if needed... It’s your life – your call...

 ... to love what you do. Really love it...

 ... to be extravagant on special occasions. Or not so special ones, once in a while...

 ... to weed out relations, that do not reciprocate you with harmony. Life’s too short for toxic people, and it is SO MUCH BETTER without them!

 ... to not want to be responsible for anyone, but yourself and your decisions...

 ... to open a really good bottle of wine, just for you. On a Tuesday...
