LIVE LITE

Live lite. This year's only resolution/inspiration/challenge. Can be applied to every aspect of my being. Why no specific challenges? Because my main objective is to just be a better version of myself all around. I've gotten to an age where I generally know myself, what I morally stand for, what makes my soul happy. This year I intend to deepen those connections by living more intentional, loving more openly, simplifying all around with out judgement of myself.

Living lite. Eating lite. Loving lite. Being lite.

Dark and light

Finding something that inspires you is half the battle. Keeping the dark side of your brain from talking you out of your new journey is another. When your brain is always at odds with itself inspiration doesn't have much of a chance to propagate. Living in the light, where it's warm and bright and shiny is the goal. Depression and anxiety (the dark side) are always looking for a way to creep back in and down you. Daily inspiration is key.

Things I wish my child knew...

For all the things I have shared and will share with my child over the years, there are still a few that will never happen.

- The joy of being the oldest sibling.

- Thanksgiving dinner at grandma Jones where there were to many of us to fit at one table.

-  Having cousins that feel more like siblings.

- Christmas with our loud ass family. (I didn't say extended, because the word did not apply as I was growing up... we were just family).

- Camp outs at the farm.

- Grampy giving advice.

- Looking to the aunts, because they all brought their own something special to the table.

- Knowing that when you needed help, someone would respond because there were enough of us to lean on.

I'm not sure when our family stopped participating in each other's lives....but I grieve for my child and my cousins children, that they will never know what our family use to be.

Stuck

The general feeling of "Stuck" sucks.

Being stuck in ones own mind, is the worst kind of stuck.

It's exhausting, never-ending.

We are our own worst enemy. I am my own.

Stay busy, stay focused, stay inspired!

In the moment

That moment....

when you remember you enjoy taking photographs.
Or drinking coffee on the porch so you can hear the breeze knock the wind chimes around. And smell the laundry hanging to dry.
Or that lil scratch on the back of your leg when your puppy wants a lil love, that reminds you someone needs you.
