Lemon lover

Today I am tired and can't think of much to write about so this will likely be a short post. Being tired led me to a lot of quick reactions and some attitude. Being tired is no fun, tonight I will try to get more sleep.
I took a trip to the store and found some lemon crisp kit-kats, my boyfriend insisted I try them since I 'love all things lemon', I'm not sure when me liking lemon things started to stand out I never really realized it. The only thing I can think of that I constantly want that has to do with lemon is Lays brand Limon chips (they're the best if you haven't tried them do it), it's just funny how everyone notices different things, I'm glad he shared this little thing he's realized, it made me happy knowing he knows the little things I like. I'm excited to try this new candy though it does look yummy. I also found some wearable weights (like can be worn on ankles or wrists) for $12 at work! So I decided to buy them hoping to inspire a desire to work out leading up to summer. So I guess despite being tired today was overall good, I almost didn't write today but I'm glad I decided to sit down and reflect on my day. What a nice week of finding the good.

    Lemon chips and wearable weights! I say three cheers for finding the good! (And love thinking about how sweet it is that your boyfriend noticed that about you!)

    Oh gosh, my husband loves anything lemon, too! I'm glad you were able to find a small delight in your day to savor. That's what life is made up of. . . in the mix of all of our busyness . . . thousands of small delightful moments. Writing them down means we get to revisit them again and again. I love that about writing!

To finding the good

It’s really easy to get caught up in thoughts and sadness and all the bad things but it’s just as easy to get caught up in dreams and happiness and all the things that bring you joy. So why is it so hard to choose those good things? I’m sure not everyone can relate, but I struggle with letting myself get caught up in the good things and often find myself fighting the bad instead.  I found myself doing that when my professor emailed my class encouraging participation in the slice of life challenge yesterday. After I read the email I thought of how much I wanted to try it but my mind filled with negative thoughts immediately. I didn’t stop thinking about it though, I thought about how fun it could be and how it might even help me to stop and see the good.  My sister recently moved halfway across the country and that has been such a hard life change for me. We may be three years apart but we're so close it could've been three minutes, I miss her more everyday. Today as I was le

Hawaii

Today I'm dreaming of Hawaii The beautiful sandy beaches to the rocky ones that require a little more maneuvering  The clear, blue water that allows you to see underneath you The water where I saw sea turtles, dolphins, and lots of fish Hanauma Bay where you can snorkel and enjoy the underwater wildlife Zip lining through the trees and beautiful greenery Paddle boarding through the ocean And my favorite thing of all - coconuts Sweet fresh coconuts, cut and prepared right in front of you  The sun beating down warming your skin  The breeze ever so gentle  The ocean air bringing peace Peace is what I feel when I think of Hawaii This summer will be my third trip to Hawaii - praying it still happens with this virus going on. My first trip I was probably 5 but I still remember the joy I felt, and the peace that came with being on the island. My second trip I was about 16, and again nothing but pure joy and peace. It truly is a sweet escape, my family rents

Sunday drives

Today I woke up earlier than usual to work a markdown shift at my job. This meant I got off at 11 am and got to enjoy my Sunday. This is something I rarely get to do, I usually get the closing shift on Sunday’s and spend my whole day at work. I chose to spend it with my parents and little sister, we went for a drive and went out to lunch. When we all lived at home we used to go for drives all the time, no location in mind just driving through the country admiring land and houses. I never understood it when I was younger, I was always annoyed I had to go in the car with my sisters just to drive around. But now I understand. I understand the peace it brings, as well as the exposure to new places. The dreams it brings, imagining the house you would build on the land, all the things that would make it home. Imagining the things you would change about a house or neighborhood to make it perfect. Just dreaming.  I’m thankful for this slice of life, where my parents taught me how to dre
