30 Days Hath September...The Return!

Thirty days hath September,

April, June, and November;

February has twenty-eight alone,

All the rest have thirty-one,

Excepting leap year, that's the time

When February's days are twenty-nine.

Hello, my fellow friends and hopefully soon to be friends. I have been away awhile mostly just dealing with life but also reflecting on this blog and where it needs to go. Or if it needs to go anywhere and stop permanently.

I decided that I did not want to let it go. I have spent too much of my life here letting my thoughts flow free. I have shared music, pain, laughter, family, products, and holidays I so love. How could I possibly let it go? As I said, I couldn't.

So, here I am another September is upon us and I have once again returned to the 30 Days Hath September idea. What is that you might ask? Well, it is the idea to take every day in September and improve yourself in some way. For me, one way was to blog for 30 days straight. I did not always get it right but I attempted.

Although this is technically September 2nd, I will be undeterred! After all, one of my one-word goals this year was determination so...

This month you will, of course, see music as I love to share with the 4M gals. You will also see photos and preparations for the upcoming Halloween month that I share followed by Thankful November and of course my favorite holiday, Christmas. It is making the attempt and I hope you will follow along.

If you are brand new to my page, consider following me here and my other social media place. Also, tell me where you are so I can come to visit. I love comments (as we all do) so, tell me you are here at least or comment on what I have had to say or what you would like to see from me. I do read the comments ya know. ;)

Happy September!

30 Days Hath September...Coming To A Blog Near You. Renewal!

Thirty days hath September,

April, June, and November;

February has twenty-eight alone,

All the rest have thirty-one,

Excepting leap year, that's the time

When February's days are twenty-nine.

A few years ago, I wrote about my friend Stephanie and a guy by the name of Morgan Spurlock who had written about this poem. In essence, he took September's 30 days to improve his life. She did the same on his prompting and I did mine. That was in 2011. Eons ago or so it seems.

I am not sure if I ever finished the whole month of September. Maybe I did and maybe, I didn't. One thing I know is that being inspired (after having come across that blog again) I thought I might as well give it a go again. 

So, I have decided:

The first thing is I am going to do is blog everyday. I generally used to blog about 2-3 days a week and have been way out of the habit. So, why not. I warn you, it may or may not be dribble but I am going to do it! So, for obvious reasons, this is day one. :)

I am returning to art-ing. I cannot full time do to work but I will carve out time. Hey, you may get to see it in a blog. *grins*

I am returning to writing. I have a book to write ya all. Carving out more time.

I will meditate or something. I have been too stressed in recent months. This will be daily but I may or may not write about it.

If you would like to join me in my 30 Days Hath September by all means do so. I ask is you come back and let me know what you are doing so I can go and encourage you. 

Peace out,
Michelle

Hey! Miss Me?

Well, hello there! Remember me?
Yeah, yeah, I know, I have not been around since June...JUNE! Wow!

I could give you a whole bunch of reasons but it wouldn't amount to a hill a beans to you and a waste of breath for me. So, I won't bother. Hee...

Anyway, I am pseudo back...well, sort of, it depends on internet and all that but. I found out I can work in the work out facilities here at my apartment complex for free. Yay!
I suppose that is not what they mean by working out but I am working my brain...so, there!

Anyway, coming this September, I will be renewing my blogging outlet. I am returning to the way my blog used to be, an outlet for my thoughts, yearnings, desires. Originally, when I first blogged, this was what it was for me. This was back in the days of Yahoo 360 and then, Mutiply. Eventually, many of us came to Blogger...some on to Wordpress. In any case, that is when it died!

What I mean is, we were family and Facebook and other social media took over. This is not a bad thing per se but for me, it also morphed into a simple giveaway site. That was not necessarily bad either and still is not, but, it took away my need to express myself.

I will have a review or a giveaway from time to time but I hope you will stick around...or come back and see what I have to say. Better yet, let's form those friendships almost long forgotten now. It is good for my soul and I am sure for yours too.

Drop me a line in comments. I want to hear, how are you?

Peace out,
Michelle

PS>Check out tomorrow or next day what will be happening in September on this blog!

22 Things I Have NEVER Done

Sometimes in life you just don't do things. It can be because you have never had the opportunity, or because you have not had the funds. Maybe it is because you are scared or you feel dumb. There are various reasons not to do things. Whatever the reason you just don't.

Today I am sharing with you 22 things that I have never done. They are in no particular order, just right off of the ole noggin'.

1. I have never gone sky diving. I have no desire to go splat.
2. I have never gone snorkeling. I simply have an issue with a bit of claustrophobia.
3. I have never sewn on a sewing machine. This is due to I was never taught how.
4. I have never been to the top of Pike's Peak. I am seriously afraid I would have to pee before I got half way up there.
5. I have never had a "real" wedding, you know, white dress and all that. I would love one for sure!
6. I have never worn a diamond ring.
7. I have never cooked pot roast. Maybe one day.
8. I have never bbq'd. There was always someone else to do it.
9. I have never sung opera. 
10. I have never been to the Macy's Day Parade. I plan to soon!
11. I have never received my Bachelor's degree. Too many things prevented this over and over.
12. I have never been on a cruise. I think I would like to but just not sure.
13. I have never ridden in a barrel over Niagra Falls. This simply seems like a stupid thing to do.
14. I have never smoked. It makes no sense that I have asthma but my lungs love me.
15. I have never had twins. I would have loved to and thought I was going to at one point. It cannot happen now.
16. I have never had a child with Tamirisc. Yeah, that is not going to ever happen either.
17. I have never met Sean Connery. A girl can dream!
18. I have never owned my own house. This would be another dream.
19. I have never met my paternal Grandparents. They were deceased before I was born.
20. I have never met 99% of the people I know on Facebook. Yes, that does include my "boss" Julie!
21. I have never read "War and Peace". I am probably not going to either.
22. I have never completely learned sign language. You would think I have since I am deaf.

What have you never done. Tell me in comments and why not?

Happy Friday!
