As Summer Comes to a Close...

I cannot believe that summer is almost over! My girls go back to school August 25th! I get panicked thinking of all the things I set out to "do" this summer and still haven't done. Like redoing kid 1's bedroom (to be more preteen fabulous), trying all the new Sonic shakes, going on a vacation, going ice skating with kid 2 for the first time. The list feels endless.

SO... Instead of focusing on what's yet to be done and may never be, I'll see what I have done.

I introduced my girls to new foods. Both now happily eat (ok try) salad. Both can roller skate. Really well! Both can ride their bikes and scooters...Also really well. Minus one scooter incident...

Both love my Spotify playlist and sing along to the Go-Gos, and all the quirky tunes I listen to!

Summer Lovin'

Had fun today with the littles.

Lunch downtown, at the Zodiac. Trying to do different things with the girls this summer. Enjoying the cooler weather, twice a day walks with Stella pup and lots of togetherness. Reading, coloring, thrifting, exploring....and the occasional blue coconut sno-cone.

Life.

Life is busy. Crazy. Has its ups and downs. Why can't it be like a Disney movie? Oh...wait...maybe not. It's easy to see the path of others, make recommendations based on experiences we haven't had. My (unsolicited) advice: stay open, be kind, honest, and learn from everything. Look for people who need a listener..and be that. I'm still trying. Everyday. I guess that's the most important part.

The Holidays

This time of year is always bitter sweet. Many things to be thankful for...health, my two sweet angels, a handful of great friends and following my heart and doing my dream job peddling vintage wears. Then Jill Black AKA Debbie Downer chimes in and reminds me of unhappy discontent in my life. Having just lost my stepdad, Tom, to Parkinson's related illness, has me more thoughtful this year. What can I do to change my attitude? My life? And keep unhappiness at bay? Sounds like I'm starting my unofficial New Years resolution list.

1. Be honest...to thine own self be true

2. Be patient (with myself and others)

3. Learn a new skill or hobby

4. Spend quality time with friends

5. Learn to cook! (fish?)

6. Call my dad (long story)

7. Do more yoga and train my mind to stay quiet and calm during practice

8. Get outside

9. Make plans and adjust accordingly

10. Be better/the best version of me...kind, calm, relaxed, attentive, compassionate and wise

Sounds like a difficult list to attain. Perhaps I'm insane.
