Secret Saturday - Secret sharing

Secret is only a secret if you keep it to yourself.  Once you share it with someone, even just one, it is not a secret anymore, right.  But today's blog is not about me sharing you my deepest secret.  I am sharing a different kind of secret or maybe I should not even call it a secret.  Here's a few of my so called secret.

• Secret dessert - when I was craving for Bubble Tea, I thought there was no store that sells them in our area.  Last Thursday I found a place called Heavenly Dessert and they carry so many flavors of tea and milk tea.  I guess they call it Pearl Tea instead of Bubble Tea. 
• Secret reaction - every time my favorite tennis player - Roger Federer and Maria Sharapova are playing, I get very edgy and really excited with heart pounding. There was a time where I just wanted to fast forward so I can see who won instead of watching how Roger won. Yesterday's semi finals between Federer and Del Porto did it again. Today Sharapova meets S. Williams (I want Maria to win) and tomorrow Federer faces Murray.
• Secret store - when I am looking for something different with a great price, I like shopping at Tuesday Morning and DD's discount.  After golf last week, I bought eight outfits and six pairs of socks for Gamble for his birthday in September. Total cost $48
• Secret court - There are several tennis courts within five minutes of our home but when I play with my practice partner Bob, we always pick the secret court.  It is tucked away on a not so busy street behind a couple of big buildings. 
• Secret door - this is the project the Jeff is working on in our guest room.  It is a secret door that is hidden behind a bunch of fabric frames.  The door leads to a storage room.

Can you pick which 4 square has the secret door?

Thoughtful Tuesday - Are you?

Thoughtful - showing consideration for the needs of other people.  This one of those qualities that is great to have and it's so nice when most of your friends have this quality.  What you would wish for is that your family (both in laws and outlaws) also have this quality.  But as the saying goes, you can pick your friends but you can't pick your family and you can't change their attitude towards you.  So what is this post all about.  It's about being thoughtful and some little acts that means a lot.

• Giving compliments to those who deserve it
• Saying Thank you 
• Not saying anything that is hurtful
• Remembering birthdays even if you can't send a card
• Offering your time for friends in need
• Being a good listener to family's problem
• Saying "I'm sorry" honestly 
• Spending quality time with family - not just stopping by when you need them

A little late today but I thought I would still post it because I feel so strong about this.

Whenever Wednesday - Random thoughts

Only one more day and the month of May ends.  What's so special about it? Nothing really that is why today is just some random thoughts about nothing, anything and everything.

• whenever I see a clear blue sky - I just want to be out playing tennis or golf.
• whenever it's a cloudy gloomy day - I just want to put my PJ's, curl up in bed and read a good book.
• whenever I hear a song that reminds me of my son - I can't help but feel sad.
• whenever I see some great deals on clothes - I immediately take a photo and send it to my daughter just in case she wants it.
• whenever I am on the road and have to stop - I tend to check if the other cars are doing the California stop.
• whenever I hear a child experiencing a tantrum - I try to listen to how the parent is dealing with it.
• whenever our home phone rings - sometimes I try to guess who is calling.
• whenever I have a craving for a particular food - I would ask Jeff if he would take me to a restaurant serving that particular food.
• whenever I watch something scary which is not very often - I would have nightmares that same night.
• whenever someone does anything for me or say nice things about me - I always make sure that I give thanks in person if possible, if not by telephone, email or snail mail.

Whenever, whatever, wherever, whichever, whoever,  just enjoy today and thank you for stopping by.

My blue sky
