A Sunday gratitude brain dump: We got to watch Ethan's soccer game last night, and my parents met us there. He scored the first goal of the game and it was a beautiful one. I'm grateful no one blinked, looked away, accidentally missed it, etc. 🙂 (Every parent with kids in sports knows what I… Continue reading Sunday gratitude
The week is chugging along in an odd way, but since time doesn't stop for anything, here we are at Thursday. 🙂 Without disclosing more than I care to in this space, I will speak for myself only and say that I currently feel great (physically). However, a COVID+ contact has been struggling with some… Continue reading Good among the not-so-good
OKAY Wisco weather, very funny. Today I woke up to a real temperature of -6 and my iphone cheerfully informed me that the wind chill was -20. AND, this time, it is also snowing. How can it even snow when it's that cold?? I thought that was like, a meteorological impossibility. Ah, well. There is… Continue reading Saturday attitude and gratitude 🙂

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!

There's one song that has been popping up… Continue reading Count your blessings

Good morning! It's just after 6 am and I've been up a while already. My family always asks me why I still get up so early on the weekends. The answer? I just really love this time of day. It's quiet, peaceful, and... I don't know, it's just my favorite time! There are actually times… Continue reading More covid woes + gratitude ideas
Completely random, but my friend sent me this and told me to make it my iPhone lock screen (she knows I love Christmas). Haha. It is pretty cute. Friday Woot, woot, it's Friday. Overall, another good week around here. I think I credit a week of pretty predictable/ routine days. I'm totally a creature of… Continue reading Friday feels
A long time ago, my husband said something along the lines of, "I think happiness is a myth. No one is really happy "all the time." So much of life is unpleasant. I think happiness is really just brief moments sprinkled in among all the rest." This was years ago now, and I don't even… Continue reading Happiness and moments that make you go “ahhh”
