Hello March!

I can't believe March is here.  It's crazy how fast time flies, and how quickly I can fall into a good routine or a rut.  I've seen good results with my February workout challenges, and have already chosen my focus areas for March -- arms and legs.  I'm not going to fear bathing suit season this year!

I'm getting back to a more regular yoga routine.  I've noticed that I'm happier mentally after doing yoga and the days in between what I call my "moody days" are further apart.  I'm also looking to get out of my apartment and get involved in some groups, as well as attending activities and events.  I've been such a hermit due to the cold weather, and am really anxious for spring!

Things are going well in the house hunting department.  I've laid the ground work, now it's just time to find the house!  I'm so excited to not be attached to my neighbors, and with any luck have a parking pad or garage!  With the prospect of moving in the relatively near future, I've been in spring cleaning mode.  Anything I haven't used or worn lately, I've been tossing or giving away.  I've also been saving boxes from things I order in the mail so that I have free moving boxes when the time comes.  It's all I can do to not start packing now.  LOL.  I am ready to go!

I'm going to read more this month.  My NYE goal of reading more is not quite panning out the way I hoped.  I have a stack of books from the library sitting on my coffee table, but per usual, my winter hermit routine includes watching a lot of Netflix.

I feel like I've got a lot of goals and hopes for myself, but beyond my regular exercise routines my day-to-day activities are rather blah.  I go to work, I come home from work, I go to bed.  There's got to be more to life than that!

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!
