*Sigh*

I don’t think it’s any big secret that I’m feeling a little over worked lately.   I would love to take a personal day.  Regardless, somewhere in the last week, I realized that I was sighing… a lot.  So, I took a small break to Google why people actually sigh.  It was as I expected.  It’s a way to express discontent, stress, and/or frustration.  I interpret this to mean that every time I sigh it’s my own little temper tantrum.  I don’t feel like being at work.  *sigh*  I don’t feel like going to the gym.  *sigh*  I don’t feel like getting up so early. *sigh* It's so not fair that I can't buy those amazing pair of shoes. *sigh*

I don’t want to be the type of person that throws a tantrum every time she has to do something that she doesn’t feel like doing.  So, in conjunction with acknowledging my feelings of discontentment and telling myself to growth the fuck up, I’m also consciously doing some deep breathing when I notice these feelings come on.  It seems to be helping.  It really all comes down to self-awareness.  If I'm not paying attention, it's very easy to act the way I always have.

Forward is Forward

There are definitely days, weeks, or even more extended periods of time when I feel stuck.  I feel like I'm not going anywhere and no matter what I do, and that I'm not making any progress.  But, the truth is, whether we see it or not, every day we get up and continue to work on our goals, is a day that we are moving forward.  We just have to keep persevering despite all the obstacles and distractions.  Think of it this way, we don't value things that come easy!

The Taste of Fall

All of a sudden it’s fall.   It’s like a switch was flipped.   The nights are cooler (well, I think they’re down right cold) and the days are shorter.   I’m wearing light jackets, and thoroughly enjoying the new trench coat the I picked up back in August.   Today I had my first Pumpkin Spice Latte of the season.   And, it was amazing.   I’m so excited that fall is here.   I just love all the spices and flavors in fall seasonal food.   I’m looking forward to trying out some very delicious looking recipes that I’ve been saving for cooler weather, and partaking in some fall-ish activties.   I just hope it doesn’t get too cold too soon!
