ownself. – 27 jul 2017
Volunteering. Kids’ music. Being at the beach. All things I enjoy doing. Making sure I have time for me instead of always putting everyone else first.

ownself. – 20 jul 2017
I’m terrible at self-care. I let everyone’s needs and wants come before mine. I need to start standing up for what I want more and stop trying to be so considerate of everyone else that I don’t get to do the things I want to do.

gratitude – 13 jul 2017
A little more gratitude. Though I think I’m ready to embark on a new project now… Starting Monday! I sitil am not sure, but I’ll figure it out.
don’t procrastinate.
That’s a message to myself. Don’t procrastinate. Start today. When I *fear* that something will be difficult or frustrating, I tend to put it off, whether it’s a task at home or a task at work. And then once I sit down and complete it, I wonder why I wasted all that time worrying about…
refocus to gratitude.
I’m struggling. I hate to admit it for two reasons: I don’t like to admit when I’m struggling. And I don’t want to admit that I’ve been experiencing feelings of jealousy. For years I *refused* to be jealous of anyone. I was in CONTROL of my life. Others were doing great things, and I was…

more birthday.
The first week of July is full of family celebrations. On the 4th, Phelix and Gazoo celebrate their birthdays. Of course, they have no idea of what a birthday is, and we really have no idea what their actual birthdays are. And on the 8th, Rob and I celebrate our anniversary. 22 years this week….
brain fog.
Lately, I’ve been finding it almost impossible to concentrate on anything. Perhaps exhaustion? De-hydration? The heat in general? Stress? Getting out on the mountain can help with my cloudy brain, but the heat is too oppressive at the moment. The past couple of weeks I’ve tried to get adequate sleep (some days I feel rested)….
gratitude – 6 jul 2017
I told myself I would never be a jealous person. No green-eyed monster here. But I’ve been finding myself becoming jealous these past few months. Life got hard, and I see people who have walked away from their responsibilities. I see people who get to travel. I see people pursuing their dreams. And I start…
happiness project: career
Thrive, Project 46, and the monthly projects in my Happiness Project … so many projects! In reality, they are all facets of the same project, guiding me to finish or give up old projects and move forward on the ones that are most important to me. June’s main theme was Blogs. I checked on old…

dailyX – 29 jun 2017
Another week of pushing to get in some “fun” time, whether it be a new experience or taking time to return to an old favorite. I’m tired and would rather just nap and read, but making time for interesting experiences does help with lessening the feeling of drudgery. I know that time is running out…

growth.
Not my own personal growth. I struggle with that each and every day. I try to move forward, but my life is not my own, and I am very easily sidetracked. I won’t give up, but I’m struggling to fight the current. But look at that magnolia in my front yard … Perhaps a house…
dailyX – 22 jun 2017
Self-care was the theme of the month, but when kid issues came up, I put self-care on the back burner … (and then I got burnt). So I’ve changed my focus to finding something interesting to do each day. A new experience, time with family or friends.
