I was thinking the other day how programmed we are to the different noises around us. The different sounds of our cell phone tell us whether we have a text, email, Facebook update, voicemail etc and often times we quickly react to that sound. But we don’t have a cue that reminds us to stop, silence everything, and just take… Continue reading Enjoying Silence
I feel inspired again and couldn’t wait to get on here to write. It’s been such a great morning. The first thing I noticed when I woke up was this great burst of light coming through the bedroom window, and you know what that means. It’s going to be a bright sunny day in California! The… Continue reading What a difference a day makes
I’ve been in a writing slump today. It’s not that I have writer’s block because I can think of some things I could write about, but the thing is I’m not feeling like I want to write about any of those things. I think it has more to do that I don’t really feel like writing, which is… Continue reading Some days are easier to write than others
It’s almost midnight and I’ve yet to submit my post for the day. Since I don’t have a lot of time to think up something I thought I’d use some help from Daily Post. Todays topic is ‘what are you looking forward to?’ At first I thought of some general things like the fact that… Continue reading A little help from Daily Post
The classes are paid and the books have been ordered. It looks like I’m all set to begin my new semester at CSULB! I’m real excited and looking forward to all my classes. I just want to enjoy this last week and a half of vacation…
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
