It is very easy to cancel when you don't want it, when you are sick, when there is something better. It is much more challenging to let go of dreams, goals, desires, and personal mile markers. Often we push ourselves to an unhealthy place just by holding on to too much. Today, I thought I'd write about a helpful tool. I use this often when things start to feel out of control and too busy.
This past winter I went through my traditional winter blues. I craved comfort food, extra sleep, and movies. When this happens I know I need personal intervention. But how? How do you pull yourself out of a slump when you just don't feel like it? I have learned that part of this for me is [...]

No school, less traffic, weekends at the pool, 4th of July, summer vacations (BEACH), and long days of sunlight that extend evening socials. Each season is unique and has something to offer but summer time... well... let's just say [...]
We are very neat people, both of us, and because of that we could be tidying and doing projects every second of every day.
