Do you ever feel sort of just bogged down by daily life? I have been feeling that lately. I am trying hard to find gratitude in the everyday but sometimes it is difficult. My day is so busy and still things don't get done that I want to do. It is even harder when I...
I had an appointment with Elaine today and she gave me lots of good things to think about. She really is pushing me to focus on MY life and not really worry much about what is going on with Tiff, Aaron or anyone else. Of course, she encourages a loving and supportive family but really...
I went to my office today--I had a few meetings but most of the day was just getting things checked off my list. I spent some time chatting with a work friend about a hard thing she is dealing with right now. It felt good to hear her story and give support. It made me...
I worked from home today and finished up about a half an hour early so I could get my hair done. My attempt to beautify myself was thwarted by traffic yesterday and was cut short today by needing to leave for my CrossFit workout. I feel good that I am willing and wanting to get that...
Time for a gratitude update and time to re-commit to this practice. I need to remember gratitude everyday-it makes me feel better and I really need to stay in the habit. Not to mention, it is always fun to go back and read it again. I seem to forget a lot of things, especially...
This daily blogging thing is tricky. I am trying to do so much and haven't been getting up early enough to give myself time to just write. I need to remember how good it feels and how important consistency is as a practice. I am pretty proud of my first week of May 2017. I...
I am a bit behind on posting as the week was a blur of fun and just general busi-ness. I'm going to have to do a quick summary post to get caught up. 4.25.17 Mary and I went on our normal Tuesday walk, only this time, she surprised me with a cool birthday present....A cup...
Today was a quiet work from home day. I had hoped to sneak out and re-do my nails but I just didn't. I worked and I meal planned and I got ready for the week. I spent a few minutes outside with the dogs (check out https://k9answers.com/uncategorized/tips-on-training-and-how-to-strengthen-the-bond-with-your-dog/ for dog services) but didn't have time to...
I didn't write this on Monday night and I am having a hard time remembering what went on two days ago. I know I worked from home and I know I went to CrossFit. I walked in the morning with Sarah and it is always nice to catch up with her. I took Flower with...
7:00 am I really am not liking these early Saturday morning piano and guitar lessons. I have to get up extra early if I want anytime to just sit and drink coffee and write, and plan. The kids are extra hard to wake up too because their little bodies are just begging to sleep in....
This morning was not one for balance. I was grumpy, the kids were grumpy, and Aaron was grumpy. It was just an early morning, after a sort of late night and they wanted to sleep in and I wished so badly they could. Instead, on their day off from school, they had to go to...
The surf gods have been smiling on the west coast of Florida lately and Aaron and Sawyer couldn't be happier. I was getting texts from Sawyer during the day, begging me to pick him up and take him surfing. Of course, I didn't do that, the waves weren't that good, but they did hit the...
After our whirlwind mini-vacation in Nashville, we are home and back to the regular routine. And, the regular routine includes not getting along with Aaron. He called me this morning as I was getting to work and really wanted to work together, to move forward, to patch things up and grow. I felt a bit...
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...
