           Sometimes I feel like I have all the time in the world to do whatever I want and then others I feel like time is running out and I should get busy, double up, save and plan.  Then I wonder if this is what my mind is like at 40 something years old what must my kids in their 20's be thinking.  I'm supposed to have it all figured out by now right.  I'm at least suppose to know the direction I want to go and I don't. I'm still lost feeling like a ship in a huge ocean just hoping that the next wave doesn't pull me under.           I have so many ideas and plans and dreams and I go out and see someone doing exactly what I know I can do and the only person I have to blame for me not doing it is me.  I'm stopping my own growth, my own potential.  Maybe now that I have said it. Wrote it down and acknowledge it I can move on from here.  I'll keep you posted.  Feel Free to comment and share with your friends! Feel Free to follow me @ Eliceivywr

     I don't know if you have ever been to a Brookstone Store in the mall but if you haven't you need to add it to your list fast.  I mean right now look it up and go.  Most of us only remember the store because it was mentioned on the movie 'Brown Sugar'.         Yesterday I went into one and sat in the massage chair and baby let me tell you I died and went to heaven!!  You completely sink into this chair from your head to your toes and then the chair scans your body and does it thing. And boy did it do it.  I felt like I was having a religious experience and the best 'O' of my life all in one (or pretty damn close😉).  I had a headache and my back had started to hurt from walking around all day and when it was over I felt no pain! It was heaven!     Let me add even though it was only a drive to the mall since the experience was so great I felt it would be a great Adventure and it was Free!

National Daiquiri Day Date When Celebrated :  July 19 th It's the middle of the  Dog Days of Summer . The weather is hot and sultry.  It's time for a cold and refreshing drink. Enjoying a daiquiri on National Daiquiri Day is the perfect solution, to ease the effects of the heat and humidity.  The original Daiquiri consists of rum, lime juice and sugar, with plenty of ice added to the glass.

Needless to say, the local miners loved the sweet summer cooler, and it's popularity quickly spread. As its popularity grew, so did the number of varieties. The original lime based recipe remains the most popular, along with strawberry. The number of different Daiquiri flavors is only limited by the number of berries and other fruit. In the 1940's Ernest Hemming way conceived the frozen Daiqui

Different Colored Eyes Day Date When Celebrated :  July 12 Different Colored Eyes Day  has two reasons to celebrate.  First of all, it celebrates diversity of eye color. Wouldn't the world be boring, if everyone had the same color of eyes? Secondly, it recognizes an eye condition called Heterochromia. People who have this trait,  have two different colors of eyes. One eye may be brown, while the other is blue.  Famous people who have Heterochromia include David Bowie, Jane Seymour, and Christopher Walken. Your eyes are an important part of your appearance. They are also important in communications. When you look into your lover's eyes, you need to like what you see. Making "eye contact" just wouldn't be the same without different colored eye. Isn't it great that we have a variety of eye colors to set us apart from one another? Eye colors include: Shades of brown Shades of blue Shades of green Black Grey Hazel http://www.holiday
