Ready for another week of Things I'm Loving? I swear, every time Monday morning comes along I'm doing a double take because, without fail, it always sneaks up on me! This weekend was so, so good for the soul. Lots of resting up, falling asleep with book in hand, jotting down ideas, writing, writing, writing, and taking time-outs for me. It was practicing being still and feeling the sun beat down through the window, and connecting with what my mind was trying to tell me.
Yesterday, I turned off the tube and got down to it, focusing on the paper in front of me. Physically writing out what’s banging around in my head makes a world of difference. Being able to read it rather than trying to make sense of all the thoughts whizzing around in that brain o’ mine. I’m officially amped up to get this week started!
Off we go! Here's just a couple things making my day...
We’ve
been busy filling up our place with flowers and plants, after we discovered a
little trick on how to keep the cats from eating them. (Cayenne pepper… take
that, kittens!) I’m pretty sure we’re going to start living in a jungle now
because our collection keeps growing and growing. I don’t know what it is, but
working on the computer sitting next to a full, green, plant makes me so much
more productive and just happier overall.
We’re so ready to move out of our teeny tiny
place that having these small bursts of beauty sitting around make it just a
little more bearable. (I seriously think the walls are starting to close in on
us. What a twisted game it’s playing!)

I love this!! It makes me happy to hear that people take time out just for them. It's so important! I love the all of the florals and plants - they are sooo good for peace of mind. Thank you for sharing that quote - it's amazing!!
ReplyDeleteValentine's is the only time the hubs gets me fresh flowers, and I love them.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! The last quote rocks. I always tell my kiddos they are a beast and can do anything. Now I need to remind myself more often.
