Well, I am still behind on my daily 365 photo posts I have been taking pictures and will post them tomorrow. I have been feeling pretty bleh lately, possibly overwhelmed with things. Things… well, things in my work, my life, my family… things have been stressful and difficult throughout the last few months. However, this really isn’t the place that I am hoping to share the stress, trauma and tribulation of my life. Instead, this is the place that I share the positives in my life and the optimism that keeps me going.
Sharing that here has helped me stay more positive and be more optimistic! Funny how focusing on what is going well and striving to take joy in each little positive moment or event really helps me get through tough times. There is always something to be joyful about in life, even when times are hard. I am striving to get back on track yet again. It is another transition time, combined with some abnormal life difficulties. I am working to get myself in order yet again. I have felt overwhelmed lately and have dropped some balls in my daily responsibilities. I have also been frustrated with some areas of my life and anxious about others. However, a few things have been going well and I have been tapping into whatever works to keep me going! Thought I’d share a few here….
1. Found a super awesome new show that I like, SyFy channel called Alphas. Love it! Kinda like the X-men only new fangled and fancy. Fun!
2. My adventure race partner shared this youtube video, I found it to be hilarious and fitting! Awesome Honey Badger video!
3. Channeling my inner Honey Badger is pretty helpful, I also find it handy to speak Honey Badger to my friends who both help me and are helped by me with motivation!

4. Beautiful weather is moving me… 
5. I cleaned out part of my closet. Yep, crazy but true! Tons of stuff to do and not enough time to do it but I took 45 minutes and organized my closet! Taking the time to do this was pretty useful, made me feel better to have control over something!
6. Shopping with my boy today. Really enjoyed spending the day with him. We did some shopping then visited Children’s Mercy Hospital for his check up – things are pretty good. Puberty and football are tough but we are on track. I really enjoyed a leisurely and delicious lunch with Marek. Nice day together. Plus we got some good deals and took care of some actual needs for both of us.
7. My faith and spiritual life has been strengthening to me. I have been praying and reading and talking. I am enriched by my faith.
8. Writing this and pondering how to get it together, say no and keep it together is helpful. I have many commitments but with good planning and quality self care they can all be enjoyable, enlightening and edifying. I’m sure of it!!
Love you all … thanks for listening to my rambles! More photos and optimism will be coming your way soon!!
