Oh hello there gratitude journal! I have missed you! I just went back and checked and my last post was over a month ago. Not too great---since I am really trying to focus on gratitude this year. Instead of re-hashing all of the minutia from the past month, I'll just start here, with the now....
I mostly have this week off but Aaron is really busy. This is always the busy season for SURFit, which is good. It has been so quiet for too long. The kids and I sat around in our pajamas until almost 2:00 pm. Nova watched shows on her new phone, Sawyer rode his bike around...
I sit here on the day after Christmas, thinking about our yesterday---Christmas Day when the kids are 15 and 12. Compared to past holidays, this one was quiet. We didn't go anywhere and no one came here--it was just our small family, at home, on Christmas Day. ( We were just in NYC, last week)....
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 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...
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...
Today was a grumpy, bummed out kind of day. I'm upset that my sister refuses to talk to me. I have no idea why. I'm upset that Aaron and I can't get along. Our business and our kids need us to get along. I'm kicking myself for not moving to NYC when I was...
I tried so hard to not have a grumpy Tuesday morning but it just didn't happen. The whole process of getting the kids up, lunches made, breakfasts made, dressed, showered and packed up for school and work--in less than an hour, is very stressful to me. Add to the mix Aaron doing his own thing...
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...
