I have been wanting to share this for a few days now. It's something I got in an email last week and it really made an impact on me! It made me pause and think for a few minutes about what life is all about, and what the end goal really is. Apparently, this is… Continue reading What really matters in life?
1. Do you hit the snooze button?? I am slowly sinking back into this bad habit. No. Not slowly. I have sunk back into this bad habit. But, not as bad as before. (Used to literally hit the snooze button for over an hour sometimes, years ago....not proud.) Now, I have been hitting it once… Continue reading A Few Deep Questions For You
Spring + The Happiness Equation At least the flowers in my yard got the memo that it's spring, because the weather seems to have forgotten this week. My current local temp is 30 degrees, with a high of 43 today. The rest of the week looks marginally better in the low 50's (but that means… Continue reading The weather/happiness equation and negativity sells??
As I walked on the treadmill last night (looking for opportunities to up my step count AND somewhat frantically trying to finish my audiobook which expires TODAY and is on hold for other people i.e. not available for renew!!), I heard some really great insights. This section of the book is geared toward parents/ students,… Continue reading Catastrophizing/ “Is it true?”& Plan B thinking
Happy Saturday morning! We are in for another bigger winter storm starting tonight through most of day tomorrow, so we are planning to hunker down later and probably not come out until tomorrow night sometime (if at all). I've heard the weather forecasters all warning that "travel on the roads is not recommended", so we'll… Continue reading Opinion overload
Sunday was a nice day. There were some really nice moments of connection that I really enjoyed. As the kids get older, it can be so easy to kind of just all do our own things sometimes. On weekends, they like to spend a good amount of time playing video games with their friends. I… Continue reading Connection
More snow!! I think I finally decided on a 2021 word. PEACE. It took me a while to land on it, but I'm glad I spent the last couple weeks mulling it over. The word has to "feel" right, and it can take time to figure it out. So, why "peace"? Last year, my word… Continue reading Word
Yesterday was the winter solstice- the shortest day of the year. Here in Wisconsin, it's kind of a pastime for people to complain about the short days in December. 🙂 My own husband said one evening about a month ago, "Ugh. Here we go...into my least favorite time of the year. I hate driving home… Continue reading Patience and the Parable of the Pear Tree
I love collecting quotes. In fact, I need to come up with a better system for saving them. I have some in my "notebook", some are in an email folder, some saved on Instagram, others I never do save and end up losing.... 3 that I'm loving this week: 1. "As we express our gratitude,… Continue reading Three Things Thursday + Lights!
Taking a break from my final day of the Productivity Series because I'm short on time this morning! Ironically, during this entire week that I've been writing about productivity, my brain has been completely distracted. Ha. Remember these toys? Well, I'm pretty sure this is what the inside of my head looked like all week.… Continue reading Popcorn Brain
