Sunday morning

Spending Sunday with Brian and enjoying time together working on the yard! I love summer days!

Sunday morning wake up.

Day 7

The snow storm arrived at 6a not 1a. Snow accumulation...none on the roads. The gym was a great workout. Followed by spending a little money at Hobby Lobby/ and Home Depot.
Today, lunches got packed and knitting achieved.
Tomorrow, I church/ then craft.

Day 6- I love Friday!

It's Friday! What a day. What a week. It was great to get a 5+ mi run in at lunch. Warmed up with "Relaxation" tea. A beautiful blend of peppermint, and flower petals. Some really great patient interactions, and memories of a dream stirred up.
I am so blessed with my co-workers. Their friendship makes the 40 hours seem less.
Prepping for the beginning of a forecast snowstorm. It is reported to snow 2-14 inches. We'll it is Colorado, whether it's 2 or 14 inches, I am not sure it will matter.
Great things this week:
98% nutrition compliance.
Threatened to be hit by a patient.
Running mileage met.
Connecting with some of my favorite people
Creating/Crafting/Knitting
Began refinancing my house
Became debt free (sans house)
Garden planning
Unexpected/undesired Niacin Flush
and the glorious finding of "Dream Weaver" tea.  (Valerian Root- an amazing sleep aid)

Super excited for the weekend and feeding my reawaken dream.

Happy Lucky's Tea House

This place is one of my favorites in town!
And with one of my favorite people! Sheena.

Day 5

I love the little joys in life. Ultimately I think they add up to the sum.
- a half day at work
-grocery shopping done for the week
-pay day
-purchased a book I've really been wanting to get my hands on: Who Do You Think You Are? by Mark Driscoll
- a 4mi run in with my dog
-the 2 mile return back a spectacular view of the snow capped mountains
- tonight, I am heading to the Happy Lucky Tea House in Old Town to meet up with a friend.

It absolutely insane how anxiety can consume us. There's a quote floating around on Pinterest right now and it says "Depression lives in the past, anxiety in the future and peace in the present." I use to be a depression girl. I find myself struggling more with anxiety lately. How often I have to remind myself to be here now. I continue to have to remind myself that my identity alone lies in Christ, those things around me can't define me nor my emotions. So much easier said than done.

Day 4 - Clarity

Some days I really wish I could remove myself from my life and watch it as though it were a movie. Sometimes I think we are so close to a situation we can't see the tree amongst the forest.
Clarity, discernment, understanding, perspective. Any of it would be nice.

But church tonight was good. The peace that my definition lies in Christ, and not in circumstances or those around me. So I guess if there are any convictions, the song in my head keeps coming back to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGKfrgqWcv0&sns=em

Ok, God. I'm waiting on you.
