Like Monty Python would say; "and now for something completely different".
I love the way the late afternoon sun looks in this room as I read
I am feeling physically and mentally better.
My yards loved the rain - I have healthy looking shrubs out front, including the Crepe Myrtle that I was so worried about last summer.
Took a solo beach vacay.
Working on home projects that spark creativity and create cozy.
Reading good books for two book clubs, and just for me.
Getting regular pedicures and side trips to a winery.
Giving myself more breaks from cooking - leaving the oven off.
Planning a family meal for July.
Focusing on my "best life" goals.
Overall, I feel like I am in a healthier place than I was last summer. No big worries with the kids, money, or the house. All of my spaces have been refreshed and made to accommodate my comfort. I have a list of things to work on, but I am not pushing myself with time and energy. Looks like summer will be a scorcher so I will prioritize water, relaxation, and self-care. Right now, life feels good!
That's a beautiful room. I hope your summer is filled with more joy, no worries. Its a great hope. Stay cool.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sam! More joy sounds like my kind of summer. (:
DeleteWhat a great mindset to be in. Your summer sounds lovely so far.
ReplyDeleteThis summer is off to a good start!
DeleteWonderful, Gina! Already a better summer than last year and just a day or two in. That's fantastic! Cheers, Ivy.
ReplyDeleteOof, a lot has changed - for the better. Which is weird because last summer I couldn't have imagined all the positive change!
DeleteHow cool is that? How cool are the changes. I love it.
DeleteI've been wondering how your beach trip was. Thought about you many times. I miss the coast...sea breeze...afternoon rain showers...my home ground. You have put in work to make those positive changes, so be a little proud of yourself...here's a virtual pat on the back from me. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! - I was dreaming of those things, too and I'm glad I went.
DeleteGina, this post made me smile!! That last line, "Right now, life feels good!" is wonderful! You deserve it. ❤️ And ps- those windows are WOW! What a gorgeous room.
ReplyDeleteIf we could just bottle that feeling, right? (:
DeleteNo big worries about the kids, money or the house. Life is good.
ReplyDeleteIt is good - I am grateful for it every day!
