One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest...

And I'm not talking about my pregnant pigeon (who has just flown away from her nest for a bit) - I am talking about my own crazy self!? As I mentioned yesterday, I made a pitstop into church to find some inner peace over issues that I am holding on to. I actually went to confession because a couple nights ago, every other word out of my mouth was a curse or negative comment and I just don't want to be that person. I have so much to say about things but lately, I hear myself and I wonder who it is I've become!? I sound so hateful and angry - like them. I think it's because I've invited negative energy into my life? I asked the priest if he wouldn't mind blessing something for me so that in my times of anger or frustration, I can hold this item and remember the teachings of the church and all the blessings in our lives. I have too much time on my hands and so if I make an effort to utilize that time in a positive way and help others, I think I won't have time to be angry?! Right?! I find it harder to focus on the positive lately and I want to make an effort to change that. Today, I am crazy again but I keep grasping my blessed item to help center me.

I chose a random necklace that I love and wear often as my item to be blessed.

I just love the image of the lady in the necklace, I feel like she is so happy and looking forward to the future! 

On a better note, Happy Cinco de Mayo! I had to look into what this day actually means because I think so many people treat it as a day to drink margaritas and eat nachos! It's a day to commemorate the Mexican army's decisive victory over french forces at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. It's actually a lot more somber of an event in Mexico than it is here in the States. Anyways... in celebration of Cinco de Mayo... I plan on making a tasty, lighter, delicious dinner tonight for my Hubby who is finally home! Happy Cinco de Mayo indeedo!

What could it be?! The taco seasoning is a HUGE clue!! And of course, I'm throwing in avocados!! Hmm.. we shall see!

Update on Salt & Pepper (the Pregnant Pigeons) tonight!
