As I attempt to blog during my lunch break, I was inspired by a friend's blog that was inspired by another blog.....so here is my attempt....
First, I am just proud of myself that I was able to "link" blogs within my blog the way I did just a second ago, and yes, that is just the silly kind of person I am.
Though, currently, I feel like my mind has been racing in a million directions for various reasons......I do not like this. I am ready for life to settle down and be "normal" if there is such a thing. I truly did think a few years ago I was almost there (to normal), after quite a few tumultuous years....but nonetheless, I do think I achieved normalcy in my life....if only for a year........
I am thankful that I have a job, a house, that I live in Columbus, that I have two adorable kitties, and of course, for friends and family.
I am thankful for the wonderful ice cream sundae Matt made for me a few nights ago.... ;-) YUUMMM
I love being social, and though at times I may complain about being busy, I wouldn't have it any other way. Sure, I do like a little downtime every now and then.....but even during the downtime I don't know what it means to relax.
Relax.....boy that is something I wish I could do. Seriously, could someone please teach me how to do that? ;-)
Although, I do enjoy holiday traditions, and sure, the holidays can be fun....I hate the hustle and bustle of it...and the pressure of finding the prefect gifts for people. I am giving up this year.....most people are getting gift cards. I just don't have the energy to try to find that perfect gift....and worry about it being "not perfect"...
Speaking of perfect, I am tired of being a perfectionist.......I have been finding that trying to be perfect in so many aspects is taking so much of my joy away....and I don't like this. In addition to learning to relax, I really want to learn how to not strive for perfection in every aspect of my life....as it is exhausting - and most of all taking my joy away. I don't like this. I like to be joyful.....happy.....and upbeat......but often find myself "faking" this....which is NOT AT ALL ME.......
As I think back over the last few months.......I miss being able to go on vacations - but am thankful for them. Whether that be experiencing Chicago and amazing Vegas.....to just a little girls trip that I took with Gen to Cleveland a month ago. I love getting away and experiencing new things. I have been sooooo wanting to take a little vacation lately......
Most of all, when I think about where I'm at right now, I yearn nothing more than to just be content. I truly, truly, truly hope to be there soon.....
