Life is too short to not be myself…
So friends, how are you doing? Really? How are you REALLY doing? I know for some of us this stay at home thing is hard. Easter was different. For some, it didn’t feel even a little bit like Easter! My Easter was different, it had a little sadness, but it also had smiles and laughter. ... Continue Reading →
I had a BIG birthday last month. Yep, I am now 50 years young. You may be thinking... "ahh... that's why she's been struggling!" Nope. That's not it. It's a million other things that I don't feel like I am able to share on this platform. Turning 50 has actually been great. In fact, it's... Continue Reading →
So I figure gratitude is a great way to start the day and maybe a side effect will be feeling better and less stressed. So... here we go! Cups of hot chocolate. I had a lovely cup last night while watching a little TV. Crochet. I love crocheting. It clears my mind, helps me focus... Continue Reading →
I'm not going to lie. I've been struggling - A LOT. I'm tired, exhausted, and spent. Some days, I think I'm just done. I'm over it. Time to move on. Only it's not that easy, is it? So this morning, as I was feeling all of this before ever even getting out of bed, I... Continue Reading →

So I have a question for you. How do you know if it's burnout? What does it feel like? What does it look like? How do you keep from confusing it with selfishness/laziness? These are the questions I'm asking myself right now. It's leading me to not be able to do anything. It's somewhat paralyzing and... Continue Reading →
This weekend, we took a trip to the farmer's market and boy, did we eat good! We are terrible about not ever getting around to doing stuff. DH always had school work to do and I always have church work to do so we often just hang out at home. It's a very boring life... Continue Reading →
I've been looking forward to this post this week. It's nice to take the time and notice things in my life that I often take for granted. It lifts my spirits, puts things into perspective, and well, it's just plain good for me. My walks - I have so been enjoying them. They are getting... Continue Reading →
Good afternoon, my friends! It is a beautiful day here where I am. The sun is shining, the birds are singing and there is a slight breeze. I love the breeze. It makes me so happy. I went for a walk bright and early this morning. I walked over to the local university and walked... Continue Reading →
