one of the things that make me happy: lists
hello re-entry. as much as i like the company of my children 24/7, i've enjoyed getting back into my routine. this is my first full week with all of my kids back at school and all of the businesses and shops i need to visit are open regular hours. i love a productive week and look forward to the one ahead.
hello wellness challenges. given that this is the first full week of routine and to start it off right i'll be joining in this inspiring challenge to find my centre for the next 10 days. i'm delayed, but starting move more eat well jumpstart with cathy zielske. even though january 1 is as good a time as any to start anything, it is also really inconvenient. from now on i'm starting all january 1st activities on the 12th or beyond.
hello garage door. hoping to have it fixed today.
hello breath. i hold my breath when i'm feeling stress or fear. sometimes i don't even realize i'm doing it until i have to take in a large breath to recover. i have been trying to take 10 deep breaths as a regular practice and it has been wonderful. such a simple thing to do.
hello letter. this is a very interesting idea: send an email to my future self. i sent one to my self to open in early november - a reminder of all the things to do - and not to do - over the holidays 2014!
hello inspired photography. i was bemoaning the lack of inspiration for my photography and was rewarded with much to consider. this article was just the inspiring kick in the pants i needed!
hello science fair. this is my seventh consecutive year as a parent of a child in middle school. caden completed his science fair project over the weekend for presentation in february. the only thing left is crafting the board! this was the most entertaining of all experiments. just listening to him questioning the why of it all. maybe i have a scientist!
hello semi formal. oh the preparations!
hello desire map book club. i was thrilled to meet the ladies who managed to deal with the weather and join the group last week. i'm expecting a few more this week. so nice to find a group of like-minded supportive women focused on making a better life for themselves and those they love. good stuff.
hello monday. you are my most favourite day of the week. i love that you provide me with 52 fresh starts every year.
what are you saying hello to on this brand new monday?
