'It is, what it is' and other bullsh*t

Inspired by a friend's entry describing her recent struggles in life and how she is working on turning things around...here I go...

I used to work with an older woman whose favorite saying was “it is, what it is”. It was her answer and her justification for everything. Now, I understand that people need their platitudes, need to have a motto or

Glad to hear from you!  Sounds like your family has really been through a lot with the move and everything!  You have set some great goals for yourself,  I really admire you for the 5th - you get em girl!

Welcome to North Carolina! Are you enjoying our very confusing weather? How 'bout the fact that nobody seems to work on Fridays?
I'm glad you're getting settled in, finally. I don't envy living under construction. I've done it, and I'll never do it again. Ever.

It sounds like you've got a great plan and I'm really looking forward to reading whatever you write. Honestly, you could copy the phone book, and I'd just be excited to see your name pop up in my mailbox ;)

"It is what I make it." That should be on a t-shirt.

Smile and relax. I'm not going anywhere, and if the rest of your readers are like me, neither are they. I'm JC-LOYAL! <3

Thanks for the welcome and the loyalty, sweetie!

So good to 'see' you again, bb!

Wow, it sounds like there is a lot of chaos happening, some good some not so good, but you can absolutely overcome the obstacles!

I really am glad you're doing the 5k. After a year of me doing my 5 & 10Ks, and the half marathon, I let it all go. And regained all my lost weight. Would you be interested in a virtual buddy? Email, text...I gotta get myself back into shape myself, and haven't found the oomph to do so. There's a 5K here in October as well, I can sign up for it!

As for writing, taking time for you isn't selfish. If you can plug in and recharge, other things will reap that benefit too. I look forward to your stories!

Most of all, {{{HUGS}}} It is what you make it, and I am gonna have to borrow that.

I'd love a virtual buddy! I'll email you tonight!
