Hi Guys! I am just checking in to see how everyone is doing with your goals? I have to admit…I was a bit “off” this week as my boys had 2 snow days! yes…you heard that right…TWO! lol I actually love having them home, but they get a bit stir crazy so day 2 cleaned…doesn’t that sound fun?? 😉
Ok…so I woke up with Jack this morning at 6am. I really enjoy chatting with him in the morning and we goof around talk about the week ahead. He is such a great kid! I love being his mama. So when Jack left at 7am…instead of sneaking back into bed…and YES! That is what i would normally do…I started picking up everything that we didn’t get to the night before and made Charlie’s lunch, coffee and read my devotional! 
It really started my day off on the right foot! I went to bed earlier than usual so I wasn’t tempted to climb back into my heated bed and even turned the bed off so it would be easier! LOL
I have kept my office tidy-er 😉 and have given myself grace when my jeans were snug this morning 😉 Work in progress…….work in progress…
Bummer that my belt on my treadmill has slipped and I need to find someone who can help with this…if anyone knows of someone in the Greenville area…let a sista know 😉
I was thinking about my no good awful day yesterday and went grocery shopping. I ran into a friend who had a ton on her plate…then as I was checking out…I noticed a friend from HS’s dad and his daughter who is mentally challenged leaving the store. His wife had passed away a bit ago and now it is just the two of them. My heart dropped. I realized in that moment how truly blessed I am and how much I have to be thankful for. We honestly do not know our future and I certainly do not want to spend my time sulking about minor things. I am really better than I used to be. I have wonderful friends who pick me up and a husband who constantly reminds me what’s important. God has truly been working on my heart over the years and it has been painful and a blessing! As women…I think it’s easy to see how much we have to do…how far we have to go…we always want to better ourselves, our family, our life…and I just want to take a moment to remind you: YOU ARE DOING BETTER THAN YOU THINK YOU ARE!
*I challenge you to send a note to a friend…text, email or hand written note is even better( but that is my “do better” thing again;) Just let someone special to you know how great they are doing at xyz. I think we have to encourage each other and lift each other up more often! It’s not a contest ladies…it’s about helping others to become all that God wants us to be! Cheers to loving and giving and helping and cheering each other on!!!!!!
On another note: Today is also Ash Wednesday. I do believe it is a great idea to give up something for Lent so I will decide what that will be today. I am leanding towards FB. I think that would be a great ideaIs anyone else recognizing Ash Wednesday and Lent? I would love to hear your thoughts
ok…I think that’s enough for now. I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday! I am leaving you with a picture of my puppykins. I was laughing in the kitchen this morning and my husband Micah said…Sully sure does make you happy, doesn’t he? We just love our baby dog.
*this is Sullivan Braman in my office. He is truly my shadow 😉
