I can’t believe that it has been a week since I have posted anything here. A definite sign that things have been HOPPING in my life this past week. I have some shots to post to update the 365 project, ditto for the Picture the Holidays Project! Not to mention any actual pondering! Things are good here but they have been really, really, really FULL of action. Today was my last day at school before Christmas, thank God! I am in need of a major break and I am starting it NOW! Well, actually, I started it this afternoon and the first item on the agenda was some very needed house cleaning! Things are a bit more palatable now so I am watching inane TV and surfing the internet. I have recently been somewhat entertained by Pinterest. Love the whole linking potential, it’s like post-it notes! Lately though, it feels that it might be pointless to pin any ideas as I may never have the time to follow up with any stray ideas or projects! Ahh well, it never hurts to dream!
Ponders in my life lately?
- How is it possible that my little boy has gotten so BIG? Marek is suddenly so noticeably physically large that it really can’t be ignored. He will be 13 soon and he is growing like a weed. He is doing pretty well in Junior High, unfortunately our Junior High teachers could suck the desire to learn out of anyone. I feel confident that his curiosity will survive but it is indeed taking a beating. There are excellent high points that seem to save the day and balance things out. He is becoming an awesome musician and is a very creative artist.
- Peri-menopause. WOW! One day is was happily skipping my period and the next day I was having insane hot flashes and night sweats! This is killer. I have started taking Black Cohosh which is supposed to help. I guess I’ll give it some time.
- Iliotibial band band issues. Also wow. I am not full speed on this leg yet. I have an altered gate when walking and struggle to get speed going up any hill. No stomping, no running and only very gimpy wogging. Not quite sure what I should be doing – R.I.C.E is ok but wish it was faster… I don’t really like to ice. Although, during the hot flashes it is pretty awesome!
- How to get more sleep! Enough said on that.
- How to get more organized? Ha!
- Implementation of a serious list of to do’s over this break starts TOMORROW! Some will be a duty and others will be a labor of love. A couple might be self care!
- Will it ice or snow tomorrow?
Well, that is the short list of ponders. The other ponder is about the daily blessings that I enjoy in my life. There are many. From good friends to material items, my life is cushy and full of love. I am surrounded by good people and they bring joy to my heart. I hope that you have a life full of blessings. Sometimes they are small and perhaps easily overlooked. Taking a minute to love the moment is pretty important. Do it!
