This is another find from the Life Photo Archive that was happily found (and written about the other day).  The photo is just the sweetest thing, and just brings out a huge grin.

Which is a fantastic introduction to the ‘mission’.

Relax is not a word usually in this mom’s vocabulary. Even before my new found Mom moniker, being relaxed wasn’t something I was exactly known for. It’s not that I’m uptight, or upset or any of the other ‘negatives’ that begin with ‘up’ it’s just that, honestly I’m one of those people who is always doing something.

Always moving, thinking, doing something.

Now, granted it’s Friday which alone is usually pretty hectic around my parts, but I have a mission to relax.   Things have been even more crazy as of late than usual so all the more reason to actually ‘schedule’ it all in.  

Won’t you join me?  

 

Your mission to do this weekend (if you choose to accept it) is simple:

1.) Me Time.  

Getting exactly five minutes of only you time.  No tantrums (unless, that’s your ‘me time’ thing), no children, and no spouse.  It doesn’t matter if you have to lock yourself in the bathroom with a timer, 5 full minutes.

2.) Finding  everyday things funny.

Laughter is the absolute best medicine.  So, laugh.  Even if people think you are loosing your mind.  Laugh.

3.) Smile and Breathe.
Granted, this one goes along with laugh, but it still works.  Now there is a whole ‘fake it ’till you make it’ movement going around, but seriously (yes, I’m actually asking) does faking happy actually make you happy?  

4.) Pick up a hobby that you used to love.

Be it painting, writing, walking, pick it back up if you have dropped it.  Even if you must start over from scratch.

 This message will (not) self-destruct in five seconds (that would be defeating the purpose wouldn’t it?).

Check in on Monday for an update to this, now the list above is simple.- that’s the point, it’s little things that anyone can do. Check in Monday for a update on how this went.

    This story is relative to the ‘Deferred: 452 prove later’ trespass intelligence when sending email to Videotron.ca send servers.

    A connect of weeks ago I started having regretful problems with email sent from my server to any Videotron email account. I checked, twin checked, triple checked my server on a misjudge in my config files. Nothing non-standard was found.

    So I called Videotron and asked them if there was a hard on their end. I was told the only way I could go places a be friendly mitigate from them, was to send an email to ‘assistance@videotron.ca’, which I did. A week passed and I got no response. So I email them again. A week later and smooth no response. Yesterday, I called go Videotron ready-made with all the goof messages, IP addresses, and details I could prevail on the hornet’s nest with ‘Deferred: 452 sample later’ on my own server.
