Here I Go!

 



It’s always  fun having a Fourth of July birthday. People are ready for a bbq and pool time. We had the best day yesterday. I actually woke up at 5 am ready for hot 26. I planned on going to adoration after class. Popped over to class pulled in and no one was there so I think I booked on the wrong day. That’s OK. It got me out of bed and ready for the day. I headed back to Hoover to church for adoration realizing I left my earbuds at home. I thought well I could just go into Chapel and  sit for a minute. I was too early and the Eucharist was not set up yet. That’s OK. I said my prayers and all that I was grateful for on my birthday. Talked to Kate while I sat in the courtyard. Rick and I actually got a good walk in even though it was so hot. We packed up and went to our friends house and enjoyed a wonderful day at the pool and fun in the sun,  food and family and friends. It was literally the perfect day although we were missing the other kids. I was happy I got my walk in and I actually made Myself do 7 reps of the five rites. We were home in bed by 9:30. 

Reflecting on what I want for this year, I’m thinking about flexibility with working being able to see family easier as life is too short. I’m excited to See what God has planned for me in the next 351 days. I certainly pray it’s in the blessings and happiness package and definitely not the child and tribulations package. 

It’s Friday and Rick is working all day. I’m planning on heading out to Red Mountain to get a good hike in. I’ve booked my yoga classes for tomorrow morning. Feeling grateful for all of the wonderful People in our life we are certainly blessed.

Season of Waiting

Image
  I feel like we’ve been in this season of waiting for a good while. To say I’m over it is an understatement. I’m so very much over it. We have several big things hanging out there waiting to happen. I’m just very ready for everything to happen. I know nothing lasts for ever even seasons of waiting. I’m bored and restless waiting. In the mean time I’m praying but I feel like my prayers fall on deaf ears. This season of waiting brings along with it menopause and all the fun that goes with that season, lol I guess today I’ve woken up annoyed and grouchy and I’m not being very sweet in my heart. I’m not a quitter. I’ll continue to pray and move forward. I will keep my goals in front of me.

Sunday Scarries

 I’ve never liked Sunday. I remember being young, five years old and dreading Sunday. I’m better today. I’ve decided to write down the things I want to do this week, things get messy with being at work all day. I know I know we have to work. It’s really hard for a creative person to work an 8 hour shift behind a desk, don’t get me wrong I love my work place. I love the families we see and my coworker. But I also want to get out and run, go to my yoga class, get the weights in, work on my children’s book. Someday I will have time. So I’m going to document here my goals for the week.  Walk at lunch! Get the stupid steps in.  Get the weights in after work. If I may for 20 min. Do it.  Writing class on Tuesday. Always fun.  Youth group on Wednesday and running for 5k  The biggest one this week is go Friday morning to youth breakfast and Jenny’s hot 26. If you make it to those you’re a rock star and you will be so proud of yourself.  Empty nesting allows fo...
