Changes are a coming

There are so many exciting things on the horizon. I don't think I have ever felt so happy.  I can't really say much more except that I feel very lucky and so blessed. More to  come soon!

Weekend day two

Plans for today:

Coffee: check
Relaxing on sofa listening to favorite radio station: check
Knitting: check
Minimal time outside due to frigid temps: check
Missing the bunny slippers shown below as well as the sweet girl that wears them: check

Winter surprise

Nothing cheers up the cold of winter as much as a surprise peek of color.

Friday night-so underrated

Friday night I start to have the dream of the possibilities that two days off will provide.

I of course never do all the things I had hoped. But I know there will be coffee, relaxing, surfing the internet and my current favorite thing knitting. It has become my escape, my solitude, my meditation. Mostly it makes me happy, makes me feel like I have a purpose.

So with a forecast of frigid temps and maybe some snow you know where to find me. I have a date with a cozy chair and some great squishy yarn.

Really MIA now

Well somehow I have lost an entire year. 2015 is looking to bring lots of changes that I am so excited for.

I hope to have more time to blog again. More time to knit.  More time to visit Maryland. More time to just breathe.

2014 was a great year but it wore my soul down. I feel I lost myself a little. As much as I am not big on resolutions I do want to find myself in 2015. Or discover myself for the first time.

Been MIA

Well I have been MIA for a long time and I think it is because I felt I was sounding so boring. Maybe I posted too often and you run out of things to say. I think Hattie is the most amazing thing on the planet but reading about every little thing she is doing probably gets old fast. But let's face it. One, I don't think there are many people reading this except for good friends and a few relatives and they will tolerate my Hattie rambling and two, this was always meant to be a Grandmother diary mostly for me to put updates and pictures.

So to update, I am headed out to Maryland on Friday. I just couldn't wait until Christmas. I just miss her. I want to kiss her little face and hold her and read her a book. Pictures help but it doesn't compare to seeing her in person. So off I go for a few days and I will so make the most of them and then we are back for a whole week five weeks after that!

Running is unfortunately on hold. The same issues that always plague me when exercising are starting in. I guess I have lower crossed syndrome which means I have weak glutes and other things that cause hip, hip flexor and low back pain. So before it got horrible I stopped and started doing glute strengthening to see if I can't get them to start firing better when I run so my psoas stops screaming at me. I am very sad about this as I just loved running but I felt it coming on for a few weeks and hoped I could run through it. Oh well I'm still hoping with some time I can get back to it again.

That's about it. As always, especially with Thanksgiving coming I feel so grateful for a wonderful family, great friends and this sweet girl that has come into our lives.

A great week!

So I just typed up a whole positive post about what a great week I had and went to post a picture and I lost the whole thing. It was still a great week though with great things happening and it just makes you realize how thankful we should be.

My weight loss continues and even though it's slow it is coming off. I have started exercising and I feel great and I am very motivated to continue. I want to be around a long time but I also know how important it is to be healthy during that time. So no more excuses and I will keep doing what I am doing!

Work though still crazy busy should get better when three new people start tomorrow. Once they are trained in it will help a ton and maybe we won't be so overwhelmed.

My son in law just got a well deserved amazing promotion at work. We are so proud of him and know this just adds to an already great year for them.

Plus every day I still feel so thankful that Hattie is here and our family is growing. I wish her a happy four month birthday and send just tons of love to her and our Maryland family.
