Peggy's Ponderings at the lake

Hello again, my few but loyal readers, this is another happy to be in smalltown Grove. Happy, positive, feel good Pondering. Giving you a warning from the beginning. It's Grateful November after all so get ready for lots of greatefulness! Friday, my grandsons and I waited downtown for the parade of buses with football players and coaches, and the caravan leading and following them to their playoff game 4 hours away. Schools were closed. The streets were lined with people and kids, and the Cheerleaders were right in front of us! How much more traditional can this get? Talk about a Hallmark movie! Just as we all get excited as we hear the sirens from the many fire trucks and police cars in the parade, my phone rings. It’s my son calling from California. I answered the phone, and he asked what I was doing. When I told him he first said what? It’s a Friday. Don’t the boys have school? I said welcome to our small town honey! Our varsity football team is in the state playoffs! A...

Hello my few and loyal readers, Here is an old Pondering that didn't get posted... "I am so thrilled to have won the seat on Grove's City Council. I was sworn in last week and tomorrow is my first official meeting. Last night I read through the agenda and the over 100 pages that came with it. No on said this would be an easy job and that's ok. I am still excited for it. There are so many things happening." This draft has sat waiting to be published since April. I'm not sure what else to say. I am honored and blessed to say the least. Now it's November. We had a meeting last night and as I sat at the podium looking out into the audience I am still full of gratitude that citizens of Grove voted to put me there. I love all the excitement around the new buildings - the Fire Station, Police Station and the Event Center at Wolf Springs Park.

I am trying to catch up! Use today's tools and manifestations for my real estate business and family finances. Trying to embrace what's new and exciting. And in doing so this morning I was trying to read a blog about to finally stop waiting for things to be perfect. Hope, fear and perfectionism - Money Mindset it said. So I clicked on the link and it goes to the blog. Then I click on that particular episoide and its a landing page for that story. I click on it and it sends me back to the blog. I do this circle 3 or 4 times before giving up. My morning has been like this since I woke up. Everything I tried to read had "technical" issues. Probably human issues which started because I spilled my coffee before any of this began. I don't know what any of this has to do with anything, but do you have mornings like this? It seems the harder I try to fit into the "new and exciting" the more clumbsy and unfitting I am. So, onward. Keep drudging at the Peggy Pace...
