Texas Snow...again!

waking up to the snow today made me really happy! seeing snow in general makes me happy. but.... seeing it from inside gaylord hotel made me even more happy because it was a cool 72 degrees and I didnt have to freeze my booty off to enjoy it! :)
i really wish i had gotten some pictures because watching the snow from inside out was really pretty, it was like a snow globe...but opposite...im not sure that made any sense. 
i was on the 4th floor over looking riverwalk cantina, a view from the top. and the room was quit nice! from what i can remember ;) what made the room wonderful were the curtains. keep the curtains closed and a person could sleep all day and not see a ray of sunshine, or in my case today...snow. if i could have i probably would have stayed in bed all day, but sadly, i couldn't. thank goodness i was able to utilize all 8 pillows, because at the comfort of my own bed, i have 6 pillows. i was really worried that i would have to settle for only 4 pillows. walking out from the hotel back to my truck in only jeans, a t-shirt and a blazer did not make for a warm walk.. so the home away from home was a good one. (minus the cold walk to the parking garage!)
this is not an actual picture that i took, but it gives you the gist of what the view from my room looked like. its pretty darn close to what i saw from my room...and just imagine looking out the glass and seeing snow! oooh so pretty!

Cultivating relationships

Maintaining relationships demands effort; it's a mutual journey. Each party contributes, and amidst this exchange, bonds form—be it friendships or deeper connections. Some relationships necessitate more investment; sometimes, it feels like you're carrying the weight alone, striving to sustain the connection. Personally, I've struggled with nurturing friendships; perhaps due to youthful ignorance, where life felt boundless, consequences seemed distant, and self-centeredness prevailed. As age brings maturity, many friendships naturally drift away amid life's chaos and the challenges of adulthood. Reflecting on my past interactions often astonishes me; how did I manage any healthy relationships back then? Truthfully, I didn't. Those who I once considered friends, or who considered me as such, have vanished, leaving behind only fragmented memories—thanks, memory loss. Although forgetfulness might seem a blessing, the impressions we leave behind persist. This notion unne...

I'm being selfish

This week has been a whirlwind of emotions that I struggle to articulate. Attending the funeral of a childhood friend's father, who passed away unexpectedly, opened floodgates of nostalgia and sadness. We shared a bond through our mutual love for horseback riding, receiving our first ponies almost simultaneously. While we've drifted apart as adults, the news hit me hard. Our parents, similar in age and pursuits, faced the unimaginable loss of a husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. Witnessing my friend's grief and contemplating my own future in their shoes brought tears of empathy and fear. The inevitability of losing loved ones, a reality we often push aside, looms ominously. Reflecting on my relationship with my family, I realize how it's evolved over the years. From distant ties to a profound dependency, I now find solace and support in them daily. When my father suffered a heart attack, I was thrust into a surreal state of emotional numbness, only to cr...

Wow, it’s been a while since my last post in April! This year has been a whirlwind—it’s incredible how time flies. Big milestone: I turned 40! I still can’t believe it. I don’t feel 40, though; my mind says 20, but my body sometimes feels 70. 😅 I was lucky to celebrate with my family and closest friends, and my parents surprised me with my very first Louis Vuitton. She’s stunning! I also completed my MSF course, which means I can legally ride my motorcycle now! I recently took my Triumph Bonneville T120 on its first solo ride to work. It was nerve-wracking but exhilarating, and I’m hooked! My next dream bike is the Triumph Scrambler, so I can join my husband on some dirt road adventures. Unfortunately, I got hit with a really bad bug and was in bed for a week, which wiped out all my PTO for the year. This year marked our 10th wedding anniversary, and my parents gifted us a trip to Italy! With no more PTO left, we’ve had to push it to next year, but honestly, I feel good about having ...
