“Re”living My Best Life
A couple summers ago, I caught my friend, Shannon, snapping a picture of her plate of sushi one night on one of our regular sushi “dates”. It’s not weird, lots of people take pictures of their food, but she wasn’t about to post it to Instagram with a fancy filter, she just put her phoneContinueContinue reading ““Re”living My Best Life”
Journal Everyday
I have a bad memory. I am also bad at doing something every day. This resolution will hopefully combat those issues.

And by “small stuff” I mean daily activities, everyday choices, small tasks, etc. Photo by bruce mars on Pexels.com For a lot of my life, I would only play sportsContinueContinue reading “Sweat the Small Stuff”
Tap Your Brakes for the Greater Good
Driving is stressful. Mostly because everyone has their own beliefs and philosophies about what makes a good driver. One of my beliefs is that letting one car go in front of me, merging or exit a parking lot, is not going to make or break my day. So when cars are clearly trying to mergeContinueContinue reading “Tap Your Brakes for the Greater Good”

Clearing Clutter
Last summer, my husband’s Hyundai Sonata broke down. After several trips to the mechanic to investigate the problem and a couple hundred dollars later, it is decided that the work it requires just isn’t worth it. It isn’t safe to be driven, so it sits. In my garage. taking up valuable space. For months IContinueContinue reading “Clearing Clutter”
