Today one of my younger cousins that I grew up with had her first baby, a beautiful baby girl named Carly. I don’t have any sisters of my own and this cousin of mine and her two sisters are pretty close to being that for me. We shared a lot of experiences together growing up and although sometimes we lose touch… Continue reading Relationships
Good morning everyone. Today is a day of setting goals and with that in mind I took the plunge and just signed up for my very first 5K run! This will be for the 2011 Cinco de Mayo Half Marathon and “Reaching for the Cure” Run/Walk for Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation to be held on May 1,… Continue reading Attempting my first 5K run
I realized today that doing nothing can be just as rewarding, if not more, than being productive and busy the entire day. I found myself with this wide open space to do whatever I wanted, and what I wanted more than anything was to lay on the couch and be lazy and watch a movie or show… Continue reading My Aha Moment
I’m really enjoying the quiet around me right now. I was sitting here leaning into my laptop and reading some of the posts on Freshly Pressed and the stillness around me seemed to give me a little knudge. Then I heard a bird chirp outside followed by Biggie, our bulldog, breathing softly. Usually I like to have… Continue reading Enjoying each moment
Today has been so therapeutic! After my husband left to work I snoozed for a little while longer and then took our bulldog Biggie for a nice 1hr 10min walk. Yes, he actually loves to walk that long. It was beautiful outside, just the kind of cool weather that makes for perfect morning walks. Once we made it back home… Continue reading Cleaning as a form of therapy
This day turned out to be pretty nice. I woke up this morning and felt a little concerned because I had a painfully tight knot near my shoulders, as if someone were pinching me. This seems to be the new spot where any tension I have likes to just camp out. It made me think about the massage… Continue reading Not stressed
Today is an unusual day for me. I’ve been sitting here looking at the screen not knowing what to write even though my heart is filled with so many feelings and my mind is wrestling with countless thoughts. But then suddenly I feel at peace and calm. I don’t know what to make of it. I… Continue reading Faith
These are two of my favorite pics from when we went to Yosemite in 2008. The first picture is Bridal Veil and the second one is part of Yosemite Falls. I love waterfalls and every time I see one I light up. It’s a combination of the crisp smell of the water, the feeling of the… Continue reading Waterfalls and anything water
This one was easy. Starting my blog was one of my best accomplishments of 2010, especially considering that I have always been shy about openly expressing that I love to write. And even more important was allowing myself the chance to really open up and say, yes, I would even love it if one day I actually published… Continue reading Topic #3 – Best Accomplishments 2010
I am a sucker for happy endings and a romantic at heart. I just finished reading Anne of the Islands and was so happy that Anne finally realized she does love Gilbert, even if it took having him nearly on his death bed for her to realize that. Silly girl. Earlier in the novel Anne said… Continue reading Misunderstandings and happy endings
