    A productive day at the office.  It was odd--time seemed to fly by.  I can't even remember what I was working on but whatever it was it kept me engrossed and occupied.  In the later part of the day, I spent some time talking to Linda.  She is such a great person to talk to and has...

     Today was a hard day to find gratitude.  I have been fighting with Aaron--not really fighting, more like just not talking.  I feel uncomfortable at home because of various clutter and messes that need to be tended to, but I don't seem to have the time.  It is likely some sort of funk that I...

    Sometimes, it feels that the days are so boring.  The same thing everyday, day after day.  I feel like that a lot about the weekdays.  They fly by with the regular old stuff--school and work, homework, housework, breakfast, lunch and dinner.  I need to remind myself that the regular stuff is what we want.  We...

    I know I have many reasons to be happy but sometimes it is hard to see them all.  The whole point of this journal is to have a place for a writing meditation on gratitude.  I am hoping that by writing things out I can reflect and resolve issues internally and externally.   As a...

    I am finally feeling better and I actually slept last night. I woke up fully rested at 7:00 am and laid in bed for another hour after.  It felt glorious. Once I got out of bed though, I was so grumpy.  Irritated at everything, no patience and having a hard time making up my mind....

    What a whirlwind of a day! The day kicked off with piano and guitar lessons.  I dropped the kids off and ran to Target to get MORE MEDICINE to finally beat this infection.  I returned to hear Sawyer playing "The Rose" from Beauty and the Beast--it sounds so great.  I missed all of Nova's guitar...

    Finally!  I went to the doctor for this sickness that has been plaguing me.  Not sure that she prescribed the correct drugs for me but I am going to trust her and see if I can't get this sinus infection to clear up.  I am so excited about the possibility of feeling better and not...

    It was such a rainy day, not a lot of thunder and lightning but a deluge of rain.  I love days like today.  I sit in my office, with my cinnamon tea, still wearing pajamas and just get work done.  The house is quiet, except the rain.  All of the animals sleep. Today is a...

    I was really feeling sick this morning and had been up all night coughing.  I didn't want to go to the office but I also didn't want to miss my meeting with my boss.  We needed to talk about "things". I was nervous all morning about the meeting because I knew that one of the...

    After our late night last night, we were all happy to sleep in.  Aaron and I slept until 10 am which is unheard of and Nova slept until 3:00 pm.  That girl can sleep! Since it was a quiet day, Aaron and I spent some time working on the business.  We planned the next yoga...

    Back to work today!  Sawyer stayed home with Aaron today because he is really sick.  I felt awful but I needed to go into the office.  I took time off last week when Aaron was in San Diego and I  feel guilty about that.  I really need to work on this guilt thing.  It doesn't serve...

    Aaron got home at 1:00 am and luckily the UBER driver was willing to carry his board on the car.  It meant that instead of packing up the kids in the middle of the night, he could find his own way home.  I had to get Sawyer up at 6:30 (on a Sunday!) to drop...

    Today was not a normal Saturday.  Nova has been sick so she missed both guitar practice and gymnastics. Instead of driving kids around all day, I really ended up with mostly a free day.  I did drive Sawyer to piano and loved listening to him play "The Rose" from Beauty and the Beast.  I also...

    I have been thinking about doing this for a few days now, starting a gratitude journal to keep track of what happens in our days.  I would like to make it part of my website but don’t want to inundate people with the minutia of my life if they really have just popped by for...
