Congratulations to all the students and families who are being promoted this year.
I wish you well through the transitions and hope you are celebrating joy.
Tonight I chaperoned an 8th grade promotion dance and loved watching our youth. They lived it up and danced the night away. Congratulations, graduates of every stage of life.
Namaste.
How did you take care of yourself today?
I saw two related posts today from women I admire, that made me think about this important question.
Here’s a a quick, 4 question, happily-ever-after-today Exam:
1) Did you get enough sleep last night?
2) Did you drink enough water?
3) Did you take time to exercise?
4)Did you use time to do “nothing?”
I think these are important questions and reminders to make us think about how well we are taking care of ourselves in this busy time of living and being.
If this were my final exam (since my kids are in this space of studying for finals right now), I would have failed today, getting 25% correct on such a simple test. Ouch!
This makes me think how I need to prepare more for my test tomorrow. How well did you do?
Be well, BeLoveRs. Take care of wonderful YOU!
How did you live your happily ever after today? After all, we are not promised tomorrow. So how did you make the most of your today?
This is how I think. I think that today is my best life ever and how am I going to live it up? What will spark joy?
Today I got to go for a walk with my BFF in the middle of the day, since we had to miss yoga. We made time for each other to escape our responsibilities and to go outside for a short while and to enjoy the sunshine, today.
I took my kids out to celebrate Charlie’s Student of the Month award to get bubble tea before dinner, as he requested. We took time to celebrate his gifts and he even got to sit in the front seat, a place usually reserved for the eldest. I loved just sitting with him and Juliana, sharing stories about our happily ever after day.
What else? I called my sister, I texted with my family, and made dinner and we gathered around the table. We didn’t have to go anywhere tonight and it was a gift to stay home and relax.
Today was good. I liked going with the flow and enjoying my family and friends, living the dream, one day at a time.
What’s your dream? Are you creating it? Go ahead… get started! You’ll thank yourself later for choosing to start right now.
I’m ready for long summer nights and walks around the block when it cools off in the evening with my Loves and BFFs. I love the light as the sun sets!
Summer is almost here!!
The boys played bubble soccer today at their end of the season soccer party and everyone had a good time, watching and playing. It was hilarious to watch them bumping into each other and trying to get up again. I would definitely recommend this for a party!
June is a busy month for us and it feels like Christmas time with all the commitments and celebrations. Maybe bubble soccer will help us to remember to go with the flow, to let things bounce off of us, to get back up when we fall and to laugh along the way!
Life is good! Stay calm and cool.
The door bell rang while we were just hanging out with friends. We weren’t expecting anyone else just then. Charlie said there was an Amazon truck parked outside. I hadn’t ordered anything recently so I was curious as to why they were knocking on my door.
It was my lucky day! The package was for me and it was a gift from my sister! You have no idea but I LOVE surprises for no reason and today was one of those surprise kinda days.
Thank you my sister for loving me and surprising me with a thoughtful book! I can’t wait to read it and I’ve only got 10 pages left in the current book I’m reading !!
Thanks a million!! I’m already happy and haven’t even opened it up yet!
Have you surprised someone lately??
Tonight felt like the beginning of summer. The weather was warm all evening and I loved being able to wear a skirt and tank top and not needing a sweater. I love that it stayed light outside until late too.
Tonight was a great start to the weekend and bring on, SUMMER!!
I got to chaperone a field trip to Chinatown in San Francisco today and am thankful.
I’m thankful that Charlie wanted me to go with him. I’m thankful that he was excited to go on this trip with his classmates and I loved hearing his anticipation about possibly getting a straw hat all week.
I enjoyed the car ride with the other chaperones and was thankful I wasn’t riding the bus with all the kids.
I loved letting my little group lead and negotiate which direction we should head and which shops and sites we should visit, while I watched over all of them and kept them safe and together.
The weather was gorgeous in the city today and I loved the break in my routine.
I am thankful for my flexible work schedule that allowed me to chaperone without feeling guilty.
And I’m thankful that Charlie found joy with his new straw hat. It’s the little things worthy of celebrating!
Today was good.
How was your day? What made you feel thankful, wise one?
Namaste.
I received my first Stitch Fix order in the mail today, 3 days ahead of schedule.
I loved seeing the box arrive and was excited to open it to see what was inside. I waited until my husband and daughter and son were ready to watch me unwrap my Mother’s Day gift.
The labeling and the tape and the way things were laid inside the box were all well thought out. I loved the colors and the sticker and the tissue before I even enjoyed what was inside the wrappings. Everything was aesthetically pleasing even before knowing what was actually inside.
I loved the anticipation and was hoping I would love every piece and I did! What a pleasant surprise.
I love that someone else went shopping for me and knew how to pick what would look good on my body. They did a better job than I ever could because I don’t have the patience or the interest to spend time looking for and hunting and gathering new pieces for my wardrobe. This was actually a very rewarding experience and my husband even asked if there was service like this for men as he hates shopping even more than I do.
After I was done trying on all my gifts, I told my husband that I knew what I wanted for my birthday now. He was thrilled that he was off the hook for thinking and shopping and wrapping and found the perfect gift! It’s a win-win!
Life is good!
