Receiving and Giving

I’ve learned that when your tank is empty it’s hard to give anything else. You need to fill your tank now and it’s more than OK to receive. Right now im in a receiving mode with selective giving. Balance in every season of life is a good thing.

Thursday is Teeth Day, Yay…Not!

Normally I would be jazzed about Thursday but today I am going to the dentist so it’s not that exciting. Getting my teeth fixed is necessary but the process is something I dread. Dentists are great at what they do and smart people but not everyone enjoys going to them. Maybe this will prompt me to take better care of my teeth or at least I think it should. I hate getting my mouth numbed but its better than the raw pain of drills, hooks, and the like.

This is not me but a funny representation.

All this belly aching sounds childish if you think about it but there is a kid in each of us who still hates going to the dentist. I’ll let you know how it goes today.

The Crown – Terrific Television, Royally Awesome

I am late to the party on this one but “The Crown” is royally awesome. Claire Foy plays Queen Elizabeth II to perfection and Doctor Who’s Matt Smith plays Prince Philip masterfully. John Lithgow portrays Winston Churchill in such a prime way. So far I am mid-way through and every moment is terrific. I highly recommend this on Netflix.
