September


Seriously!?  Is it really September already?? 
I can’t believe that another fall season is approaching once again.  And while I’m getting psyched for pumpkin spice latte’s and fall jackets, I’m upset with myself.  Other than a few great dinner dates with friends and an amazing vacation that I took at the end of August, I really don’t have anything to show for this year.  So, for the month of September I thought I would make a list of goals that I want to accomplish.  Since it’s already the 10th, and I’m traveling this weekend, this month’s list is a little shorter than what I hope future months will look like. 
So here it is…
  • Set-up a dinner date with some girlfriends.
  • See if I can set-up a time to hang out with my sister.
  • Start the process of selling gently used clothes and shoes that I don't wear anymore, or that I've never worn.
  • Detail my car.
  • Label and organize my vacation photos.
  • Sign up for Bible Study.
  • Get back into my exercise routine.  I didn't exercise at all over vacation, and I haven't really been motivated to get back to the gym.
  • Attend a wine festival.
  • Go apple picking.

Oh Lord

When I die, put my ashes in the trash bag I don't care where they go Don't waste your money on my gravestone I'm more concerned about my soul Everybody's gon' die Don't everybody live though Sometimes I look up to the sky And wonder do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord, do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord, do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord, do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord Listen, yeah everybody wants change Don't nobody wanna change though Don't nobody wanna pray Till they got something to pray for Now everybody's gon' die But don't everybody live though Sometimes I look up to the sky And wonder do you see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord, do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord, do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord, do You see us down here? Oh Lord, oh Lord It's easy to blame God but harder to fix things We look in the sky like, "Why ain

See the Value in Each Day's Journey

Sometimes the road seems so long and endless, that the idea we'll ever get to where we want to be seems like a battle that will never be won.  That all our efforts don't matter, and are for nothing.  But, the truth is, we need to find joy in the journey.  Stop focusing so much on what we don't have and that place that we haven't reached yet, and start being present in the moment and learning how everything we do affects us, and others.  Ask yourself, what is the impression I made today?  How have I affected others?  How does that make me feel?  How can I do better? Too often, I believe that we miss part of the message we're supposed to get out of our experiences, because we're so focused on the the end point. "The Pleasure and value of every walk or journey we take may be doubled to us by carefully noting down the impressions it makes upon us." - John Burroughs

Happy November!

It is officially November, so you know what that means.   Holiday preparations are now in full swing.   I’ve been told I’m so organized I’m boring, but making lists, forward thinking and planning helps with managing my stress levels.   There is just so much to do, think about, and keep track of!   I have about 5 lists going right now.   It’s crazy.   What’s most exciting is that since I’ve moved to a house, my family and I will have more room to spread out and relax at Thanksgiving.   I always get so nervous that everything won’t work out, or people won’t have a good time.   But, no matter how much I worry, it always works out in the end. Here’s to a happy, healthy, and relatively stress free holiday season!
