Journal Prompt #3

 What do I wish I felt more of today?

I'm not sure how to answer this today. I have had a very productive day today. We are having a family gathering here at our house tomorrow for the October birthdays and I have been cleaning and prepping. We finally got our pool ready for winter too. I also hopped on my treadmill for 25 minutes this afternoon and that felt good! It's been a while. I don't exercise very much these days and I can tell in how my body feels and how it responded to walking for 25 minutes.  I have to start somewhere right?

I have been listening to 2 new podcasts and they are very motivating. They are women encouraging women but also sharing their thoughts and feelings when they are struggling.  This is refreshing to hear. Not that I want people to struggle but knowing that I'm not the only one having a rough day or feeling down or feeling overwhelmed, be willing to talk about it and vent it out and then move on. They don't have a perfect life and neither do I. The podcasts are called This Morning Walk and Hey Girl. I listen to them both on Spotify.

Today I also took some time to continue organizing my craft room. During the colder months this is one of my favorite spaces. During the warmer months when I am outside all of the time, this room becomes the catch-all space and pretty much sits in the same condition I left it once I quit crafting for the season.  I decided to do a little weeding out while I was at it. How many paper scraps do I need??  Do I need binders full of papers I printed out a few years ago with layout ideas and card ideas when I can just use Pinterest??  Let's clean up the clutter and remove the unnecessary items. Sometimes this is hard for me to do because I will find an excuse to keep something.  Have you heard the saying, "if you haven't looked at it in a year or worn it in a year or used it in a year then get rid of it"?  These are serious words, and definitely a great guideline and starting place for weeding. 

So, what do I wish I felt more of today?  Maybe being thankful. Thankful that I had the time to do some things today that I wanted to do. Thankful that it was sunny out while we finished closing up the pool. Thankful that I am able to hold a gathering at my house and enjoy the time with my in-laws and my kids and husband. Thankful that I had the energy to spend 25 minutes on my treadmill. 

How has your day been? What are you making for dinner?

Until next time....

Journal Prompt #1

 How am I feeling today?  This is my first journal prompt question.  I attempted to answer this question earlier when I was at work.  Bad idea!  Work is probably not the place to try to add a blog post, especially when my feelings about where I work started to creep into my post and pretty soon all I was typing was Negative Nelly comments.   I am trying to figure out how to answer the question of how I feel today.  Honesty is the best medicine.  Physically I am tired and sort of sleepy. Physically I am disgusted with myself, with how I look. I've felt that way for quite a while. What can I do about it? A lot....but I struggle with being disciplined.  I know it takes a while to create a habit, and I will start and try but then it's easier for me to give in and I get lazy and basically tell myself it's ok to fall off the wagon because I can hop back on at any time. Sometimes I do, and sometimes I don't.  But, if I don't, how am I goin...

Journal Prompt #5

 What character traits do I admire the most in others? This is my journal question for today. This one doesn't take much thought because I can tell you right away what really grabs me. When someone is 100% themselves, when they are real. What I mean is, they don't put on a show in front of people to make themselves look like someone else. When they act the same around you alone as they do around 100 people.  Yeah, everyone has their days and at times they may not be themselves, and some people don't want to be social and be around people, but they are still them. Unfortunately, I am friends with people that put on a show in front of groups of people to make themselves appear to be they are loving, super friendly, family oriented and affectionate. These people are not really these people. I know the true behavior of these people and how they act behind the scenes.  How do people pull it off? I would eventually screw up and show my true colors. I'm not good at hiding thin...
