I’m quite exhausted, but feeling grateful this morning. I’m grateful for my husband, my health, and our home. I’m grateful for our cars, our cats, and our job. I’m grateful for our friends and family, as well as music and podcasts. Life can be overwhelming and upsetting at times, but those are the times it’s important to recognize all that you do have. I hope everyone has a good Wednesday!
Woke up a bit anxious, but not entirely sure why. Sometimes a full moon can make you restless, so maybe I’m just sensitive to that. There has been some freezing drizzle and mist so I know I need to be extra careful driving this morning, maybe my body knew that was happening? Who knows LOL but I am headed out to work here in a few. Hope everyone is safe and has a good Monday!
Today is the start of a new month, and it also happens to be Sunday, and we have a full moon! This feels like a few different fresh beginnings and I am here for it!
Yesterday was so much fun! I loved catching up with my friend at starbucks, and I also loved hanging with my other friends doing diamond by number crafts! The canvases look hella intimidating at first, and honestly I am nowhere near done, but once you start doing it, it’s so easy to just get into flow state and keep going!
We had run to the dollar store before starting our crafts to grab little plastic organizers for our diamonds/beads, and we happened to find tiny keychain versions of diamond by numbers! We ended up each picking out one and my friend grabbed one for her daughter, as well as another small paint by number and we had a successful trip!
Today I’m catching up with my high school BFF at breakfast and I’m so excited to see her and enjoy a delicious omelette! She’s pregnant and her baby shower is a month away so I’m super happy for her and can’t wait to hear about how everything is going!
Later on my husband will go to his parents house for family dinner, and some point before or after that I will need to touch up his hair (I retwist his locs and I definitely skipped last weekend). I just feel like today is going to be a great day, and I’m just feeling so very blessed.
Had a coffee date with a friend this morning! It was nice to catch up and enjoy starbucks inside! My husband and I just picked up groceries and I’m gonna head over to another friend’s house in an hour or so to hang out! Tomorrow I’ll also be catching up with another friend so I am just filling my cup with connection and fun this weekend! This is much needed after all the stress of January, so I’m praying it’ll be a nice reset and way to start off February!
My phone literally just changed to night mode as I was typing this which makes zero sense because it’s barely after 12:00pm LOL! I’m working a short day today and going home to chill with my husband who took the day off! I brought my water and Poppi with me to work this AM to avoid spending any money- let’s see what today brings!
It’s 0 degrees outside. On the plus side, the sun is rising and I got to see some pink clouds/sky on the way into work today. I also have a nice coffee for today that I will savor since tomorrow I’m going to participate in the nationwide “ice out” and not buy a thing! I’m also going to take the entire day off social media too, because I just need a damn reset and it feels like it should be part of the revolution to me lol!
Why is it negative one degree outside? I am not sure but I am sooooo over it. It’s days (months?) like these I’d love to work from home, so I could verify insurance and yell at claim reps from the comfort of my warm bed!
I’m overstimulated by social media right now, but can’t seem to turn away. I know my brain needs some rest though, I am going to put my phone down after this post.
I saw that Friday January 30th there is a nationwide “ice out,” where we don’t buy anything at all, and don’t go to work or school. I will go to work since I work in healthcare, but I’ll gladly skip the Dunkin’ line in the AM. I’ll grab groceries on Saturday and I just filled up my gas tank! I think it’s smart to show these huge corrupt corporations and our government how much control we do have.
I also think it would be a good idea to boycott social media that day too- I will be at least. I think it will be great to have a reset, and I imagine as a collective it could be powerful. I’m not religious, but I am spiritual, and the idea of people all sitting in collective mediation / stillness / prayer sounds incredibly powerful.
Regardless of if it’s in a collective group or not, I will continue to keep the faith and pray that love and truth will always prevail. Although I am not religious, I do find the serenity prayer to be quite comforting. I’ll hold onto that at this time, and I am sending love to all those who need a little extra.
I’m grateful I woke up in a warm bed next to the love of my life this morning.
I’m grateful that I can afford to treat myself to a coffee this morning.
I’m grateful I have a job to go to that, although it can be stressful at times, it funds my life and allows me to pay my bills.
I’m grateful for hot coffee on a freezing cold day.
I’m grateful for my “chill” playlist, as it will keep me grounded in my work today.
I’m grateful for empathetic, passionate people.
