Life takes crazy turns. I have struggled lately feeling homesick and all around not good enough. So it has been hard to want to write on here. But today is the start of a new day. Starting today I plan to try to focus on the positive things I do and not the many negative things I feel i do or don't do. I am truly inspired by Hilary Weeks. She has a new blog, a movement really. Her blog is billionclicks.org, if you have not heard of it you should look it up. She wants to help encourage everyone to count their happy thoughts every day and focus on them, instead of all the negative thoughts we each have. By doing this, we will change our view on life and our attitudes and spirits will change! I am so excited to do this. It is something I struggle with all the time. The Mr is always telling me to think like this, but I just find it really hard. I am hoping that having a clicker in hand, something to look at as proof of my accomplishments, will help motivate me. I am so excited, I just purchased a clicker for each member of my family. This could be a fun family activity or it could be just a fun toy for C. Either way I know it will help me!
The Mr and I have 2 weeks till we run our very first marathon, and while I don't feel nearly prepared enough to accomplish my goal of a 4 hour marathon, I know we will finish and we will both feel very proud of the accomplishment. I will be glad to be able to get back to running for the fun of it and not to train. It has been a lot of hard work! This accomplishment will be well worth a click..
It is hard to believe that summer is here already. Life is moving far to quickly. M finished her first year of Jr high, it wasn't the easiest year but we are proud of her for completing anyway! (click) It is hard for me to believe that C will be starting school in just a few short months! (click) I know I will find the alone time relaxing, I will really miss my little buddy. He really keeps me on my toes and infuriates me and pushes my buttons, but I sure do love him! (Click) For now though, we have to get through the summer without me killing any of them! Any ideas to keep them busy for free or cheap would be greatly appreciated. :)
I wonder how many more clicks I can get today?? How many can you get??
