Hello. Didn't really feel like writing today, because I don't actually feel like doing anything right now. I am all discombobulated at the moment. 🙂 But, sometimes even a few minutes of writing something down can help, and I know deep down that I thrive best on routines...and writing has become part of my morning… Continue reading Discombobulated
"Your first thought in the morning should be "thank you". You can choose whatever you want for the second." We definitely should be saying "thank you" every morning. God (or whatever/whoever you personally believe in) has granted us another day to be alive!!!! That is pretty awesome and amazing. Today is Thursday. I like Thursdays.… Continue reading Misc. Thursday thoughts & family rulings
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!

It plays mostly traditional Christmas songs (Joy to the World, Silent Night, etc.) and many tend to be older versions with that great old time sound (like Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, etc.). There's one song that has been popping up… Continue reading Count your blessings
In honor of Thanksgiving this week, I decided to do a 24 hour Gratitude Challenge. From 06:00 a.m. on Monday through 06:00 a.m. on Tuesday morning (today), I wrote down something I was grateful for every hour, on the hour.

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
So after my very tired morning yesterday, I had a very tired day. 🙂 Surprising. 🙂 But I'm actually proud of myself, because I felt very in tune to how I was feeling and what I needed. I think past versions of myself might have tried to "power through", or say, "No excuses, toughen up!!".… Continue reading Listen to yourself
