Tuesday, May 31, 2011 Sweet and Savory Appetizer I super love this, I cut it out of a magazine over a year ago and am now thinking I want to make this very soon. Trying to keep up my habit of scanning magazine images instead of keeping them in a file, which takes up space. Monday, May 30, 2011 WOW! This week's Manic Monday post marked my one-thousandth blog post! Thanks to my very few readers for keeping me motivated. Thanks for your comments, I love them, each and every one. Hoping to expand my audience over the next year. How? Not sure yet. Written by The Maltese Kat at 5:19 PM 1 comment: Links to this post Manic Monday Thursday, May 26, 2011 Happiness is... Monday, May 23, 2011 Manic Monday Sunday, May 22, 2011 Sunday in the City Today Tim and I met Angela and Frankie in Fisherman's Wharf for lunch. We met around 11:30 and had a walk about before going to eat at The Blue Mermaid at the Argonaut Hotel. Living in San Francisco we generally stay away from this part of town as it is very touristy, however, Angela was in town visiting her Grandma who was visiting from Germany so it was a great excuse to get together. I think I have mentioned it before, I do enjoy being a tourist in my own town once in a while, it serves as a reminder of why I fell in love with this place. Thanks Angela for reminding me of the great city I live in and the amazing people I have met here and now consider part of my family. Missed you Brian, but will see you in a couple weeks! Here are some of my favorite photos from today... Written by The Maltese Kat at 7:40 PM 2 comments: Links to this post 13 Years! Today is our 13th Year Wedding Anniversary! Time sure does fly!

It all started here Friday evening... Next we had some of these... After a good night sleep in a huge fluffy bed with crisp white sheets, we ordered room service. This was only the second time in my life that I have done this which made it very special. After breakfast and a hot shower, I went to the spa for an 80 minute massage, a steam and about 5 various showers. After the spa, I met Tim by the pool for a little rest in the sun.

What a great way to kick off our 13th Anniversary weekend!

I made this pasta tonight with the following: - Baby Spinach - Sugar Peas - Asparagus - Green Garlic - Spring Onion - Salt and Pepper - Gorgonzola We decided a couple chopped walnuts on top would have been a nice addition...maybe next time. What time of year produces your favorite veggies and what are they? First one to answer will get a prize!

It is called TWOSIDED, unfortunately the website listed on their card is not valid; they do have a blog though check it out here. The store has a ton of old ephemera including school flash cards which are super fun. I had to buy the "Tim" card. They also sell greeting cards, journals and other cool gifty things. When I was checking out at the register I spotted a cool platter on the back counter with an octopus on it and when I asked about it they had just gotten them in and priced so I had to snatch one up. Must be the Mediterranean in me but I love octopus things and so does Tim! I hope octopus are not the next owl or bird - have you noticed over the last two years they are on everything?

I am here in the windy city to celebrate my sister's graduation from grad school. So, tonight we had a great dinner at Frontera Grill to celebrate and tomorrow we get to watch Emily walk across the stage and get her diploma. Having a good time - yesterday was super hot and humid and today it is cold and windy. I'll post when I can, but have been keeping my twitter...follow me for updates.

Written by The Maltese Kat at 6:00 AM 1 comment: Links to this post Monday, May 09, 2011 Lovely Advice I came across this while cruising the blogphere this weekend and I absolutly love it! Words to live by for sure. Health: Drink plenty of water. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants. Live with the 3 E’s – Energy, Enthusiasm and Empathy Play more games. Read more books than you did in 2010. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. Sleep for 7 hours. Take a 10-30 minutes walk daily. And while you walk, smile. Personality: Don’t compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about. Don’t have negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment. Don’t over do. Keep your limits. Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does. Don’t waste your precious energy on gossip. Dream more while you are awake. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need. Forget issues of the past. Don’t remind your partner with his/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don’t hate others. Make peace with your past so it won’t spoil the present. No one is in charge of your happiness except you. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime. Smile and laugh more. You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree. Society: Call your family often. Each day give something good to others. Forgive everyone for everything. Spend time with people over the age of 70 & under the age of 6. Try to make at least three people smile each day. What other people think of you is none of your business. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch. Life: Do the right thing! Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful. However good or bad a situation is, it will change. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up. The best is yet to come. Your Inner most is always happy. So, be happy. source: Alis Volat Propris Words to live by for sure. Health: Drink plenty of water.

Kalete duše Četiri duhovna principa Prvi princip kaže: “Koga god susreli, to je onaj pravi.” To znači da nitko ne ulazi u naš život slučajno. Svi oni koji nas okružuju, bilo tko s kim ste u odnosu, predstavlja nešto – bilo da nas treba nečemu naučiti ili da nam pomogne da popravimo trenutnu situaciju. Drugi princip kaže: “Što god se dogodilo je jedina stvar koja se i mogla dogoditi.” Ništa, apsolutno ništa od onoga što smo doživjeli nije moglo biti drugačije. Čak ni najnevažniji detalj. Nema “…da sam to barem učinio drugačije… tada bi i situacija bila drugačija!” Ne. Ono što se dogodilo je jedina moguća stvar koja se moglo dogoditi i moralo se dogoditi – da bismo naučili lekciju kako bismo se pomaknuli naprijed. Svaka situacija u životu u kojoj se nađemo je apsolutno savršena, čak i kada prkosi našem razumijevanju i izaziva naš ego. Treći princip kaže: “Svaki trenutak u kojem nešto započinje je pravi trenutak.” Sve počinje u točnom trenutku, niti prerano niti prekasno. Kada smo spremni za to, za nešto novo u svom životu – to je tu, spremno da započne. Četvrti i posljednji princip kaže: “Što je gotovo, gotovo je.”To je tako jednostavno! Kada nešto u našem životu završi, to pomaže našem razvoju. Zato, obogaćeni prošlim iskustvom, bolje da to otpustimo i krenemo dalje. Želim vam svima da ostvarite što više od ovih važnih stvari!!! PODSJETNIK NA VAŽNE STVARI Zdravlje: - Pijte puno vode. - Doručkujte kao kralj, ručajte kao sluga, a večerajte kao prosjak. - Jedite što više hrane koja raste na drveću i biljkama, a što manje industrijski proizvedene. - Živite s 3 E: Energija – Entuzijazam – Empatija - Nađite vremena za meditaciju. - Što više se igrajte. - Pročitajte više knjiga nego prošlih godinu dana. - Sjedite u tišini barem 10 minuta dnevno. - Spavajte po 7 sati. - Hodajte 10-30 minuta svaki dan. I smiješite se dok hodate. Osobnost: - Nemojte uspoređivati svoj život s drugima. Nemate pojma o čemu se zapravo radi na njihovu putovanju. - Nemojte imati negativne misli ili stvari koje ne možete kontrolirati. Umjesto toga, uložite svoju energiju u pozitivni sadašnji trenutak. - Nemojte činiti previše. Ne prelazite svoje granice. - Nemojte biti previše ozbiljni. - Ne bacajte svoju dragocjenu energiju na tračeve. - Sanjajte više dok ste budni. - Zavist je gubitak vremena. Već imate sve što vam je potrebno… - Zaboravite pitanja iz prošlosti. Ne podsjećajte svoga partnera na njegove/njezine greške iz prošlosti. To će upropastiti vašu sreću. - Život je prekratak da bismo gubili vrijeme na mržnju. Nemojte mrziti druge. - Pomirite se sa svojom prošlosti, da ne pokvari sadašnjost. - Nitko nije zadužen za vašu sreću, osim vas samih.. - Shvatite da je život škola, a vi ste ovdje kako bi učili. Problemi su jednostavno dio nastavnog plana, pojavljuju se i nestaju, ali lekcije koje naučite trajat će cijeli život. - Smiješite se i smijte se što više! - Ne morate pobijediti u svakoj raspravi. Složite se da se ne slažete… Društvo: - Često komunicirajte sa članovima svoje obitelji. - Svaki dan dajte nešto dobro drugima. - Oprostite svima za sve, te naposljetku oprostite samome sebi! - Provedite vrijeme s ljudima starijima od 70 i mlađima od 6 godina. - Svaki dan pokušajte nasmiješiti barem tri osobe. - Ono što drugi misle o vama nije vaša briga. - Vaš posao se neće brinuti o vama kad ste bolesni, ali vaši prijatelji hoće. Stoga ostanite u kontaktu. Život: - Učinite pravu stvar! - Oslobodite se svega što nije korisno, lijepo ili ne donosi radost. - Ljubav liječi sve. - Koliko god situacija bila dobra ili loša, promijenit će se… - Bez obzira na to kako se osjećate – ustanite, obucite se i izađite. - Najbolje tek dolazi… - Kada se probudite živi ujutro, zahvalite Bogu za to, a navečer zahvalite za taj dan. - Vaša unutarnja “bit” uvijek je sretna. Dakle, budite sretni. Posljednje, ali ne i najmanje važno: - Podijelite ovo sa svima do kojih vam je stalo!
