Hello! I'm back again. Asher had another swim meet out of town this past weekend (actually, in my HOME TOWN and versus the swim team that I swam for briefly in elementary school). We stayed with my parents to avoid driving back and forth. It was a great weekend overall. Like last time, pretty relaxing.… Continue reading Highs, lows and life lessons
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
Yesterday felt like a weird mix of successes and failures, so I decided to grade myself and see how it looks on paper. Morning Routine = B It was okay, but not GREAT great, hence a B. I have developed a bad habit of grabbing my phone when my alarm goes off at 5:30 and… Continue reading A day’s report card
Last night as he was getting ready for bed, Asher said, "Ughhhh it's only Tuesday!! Why can't it just be Friday already?" I asked him why, and he said, "Well, school days are just more boring and I want it to be the weekend already." I replied as my Mom used to say to me… Continue reading Wisdom Wednesday- Don’t wish your life away….
My gift from Ivan- perfect. Simple and beautiful. 🙂 3 random things on my mind.... 1. Audiobooks vs. Podcasts I mentioned last week I've been listening to The Self-Driven Child on audiobook (checked out from the library app). On the whole, the book has improved I think quite a bit and it's actually turning out… Continue reading Audiobooks, Germs, This is Us- in no particular order
Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! I'm not really big into V-Day, honestly. It's nice and all, but I don't get too excited about it either way. If it didn't exist, I don't think I would really care. 🙂 But, it does exist, so we acknowledge it a little bit. With the amount we go all out… Continue reading Happy Valentine’s Day
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 🙂
Hey, Friday... welcome. 🙂 This week was kinda "meh" for me. Fine- nothing wrong, really, but my typical schedule was thrown off in one way or another most days + the frigid weather = literally trapped inside (i.e. no walks even! 😦 ). I've just felt a little tired/lazy/unmotivated on the whole and would give… Continue reading Friday 5- my week’s rating + quotes
While I was eating a salad at my desk yesterday afternoon, I read this article called Why You Need a Humor Audit: the Benefits of Laughter. I like humor and I really do love to laugh, so it was intriguing to me. Two "humor experts" are interviewed for the article, and the main premise is… Continue reading Laugh it up!
I have no real topic in mind to write about today, so how about a little of this and a little of that? COVID I feel like I used to talk about covid all the time on the blog, back in the spring. Now, I guess it's old news. Ha. It is exciting that it… Continue reading Whatever Wednesday
GRATEFUL KAE
