Round 11 Day 18

It was a rainy Sunday for most of the day, so decided to take a nice relaxing day inside. Watched alot of OWN, i love Super Soul Sundays. It always puts a smile on my face from start to finish and peace within my body. Also, very inspired as well! Did run a small errand for the family, to get cold cuts and stuff for the week. While there, i talked to Gary the owner about his donating food for next Saturday for TBH planting breakfast. Can't wait for a such a wonderful day of giving from…See More

Round 11 Days 15, 16 and 17

Days 15 and 16 I felt like i needed to take some time to come to terms with the things I've decided I needed to do in my life. Meaning helping my mother. It's taking a lot for me so finally really come to these terms! I feel like a bad daughter who doesn't care anymore. I know that's not true, but it feels like it. So I spent a lot of time outside enjoy the beautiful weather. On day 16, I had attempted to find my 2nd and 3rd generation relatives. They are all buried in the same…See More

Round 11 Day 14

So Wednesday wasn't as relaxing as i had hoped it would be, but it was nice. It was a slow day, all around. I didn't end up going up to Northampton, my friend Laura was having som problems and really did want to talk to anyone so i said i would come up another day. She won't talk to me about whats going on, but i have offered to just lend an ear if she does. So instead, I went back to the park but it was really windy so i just sat in my car and enjoyed the view outside. Then went home and…See More

Round 11 Days 12 and 13

Day 12 ~ I know that i said that i was planning on taking mom to the senior center so she could interact with people, but it was over 90 degrees out!!! I was worried about her walking and being alone with only elderly people. She was to, so we decided to cancel her going. I had woken up really early around 6am and decided to get up then. Worked on company stuff for a few hours till i got a headache. So i switched to Ancestry.com, thinking it would just be relaxing stuff!!!! it wasn't so…See More

Round 11 Day 27

Posted on May 1, 2012 at 8:21pm 3 Comments 3 Likes

Started off my day by getting a bit of my movie collection list done and bringing it over to the senior center. Am going to try to finish it by either tomorrow or thursday at the latest! Really did try to relax today mainly b/c my legs were so shaky. But i have a problem with just sitting still and doing nothing, when i have so much to do. Plus i'm a huge procrastinator, so instead of being on the computer all day as i should have been, i did my laundry and cleaned my room!!! Yup, major…

Round 11 Day 26

OH MY What a busy day it was from start to finish....Christine texted me in the morning to see if i wanted to have lunch, I said of course, so we planned on 1230pm at 99. That gave me just enough time to get ready and run to the senior center. I wanted to go to the senior center b/c when i was looking at their list of events and activities that they do, i saw that have show movies twice a week. And that they get the movies from Red Box. As i'm sure i have said before I am a hoarder (in…

Round 11 Day 25 (Really it's day 25!)

Posted on April 29, 2012 at 4:19pm 4 Comments 3 Likes

So I woke up super early against my body's wishes!!! Like 630am!!!! And, OMG, is my body sore, especially my legs and back!!! So I planned on just resting today! That bath idea sounds like a dream, except our drain won't plug up!!! So no go on the tub! So instead I stayed in my pjs and bed until about 4pm, when my brother and Connor came over for dinner. Was just a nice relaxing day that i really needed after the past few weeks! SO BUSY!!!

Thought it would continue…

May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others. May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content with yourself just the way you are. Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us."
