Currently...

Wow.  So it's been a long time since I've written anything.  I finally have a new computer, so that's helpful. Haha.

Let's see...
Currently I'm living with my best friend.  And her son.  And her dog.  It's been hilariously funny, and good for me and hard on me all at the same time.  As someone who craves quiet time and peace, living with my friend and her son who both have ADD and cannot sit still has been eye opening.  It's good though.  It's made me come out of my bubble a little and stray from my boring routine.  But it's also made me realize that as close as we are, we are very different. I still crave peace and quiet and she would be happy if she was never alone. Ever.  I can't understand that. Haha.  It's fun though and the holiday season promises to bring new adventures and be very, very entertaining.

My favorite thing to do these days, besides enjoy my alone time when I can get it, is visit with my nephew.  He is without a doubt the cutest kid.  Ever.  Now I know you think I might be biased, but look at his pictures on FB and judge for yourself. I went to my sister's yesterday and when she opened the door and he saw me, he waddled down the hall with a huge grin on his face. Then I got a big, snuggle Ethan hug.  Instantly, the day gets better.  Thank you God for the incredible gift of that child.  He has made my life and my whole family's lives better and brighter. :)

I've gotten back in to hot yoga.  I know a lot of my friends think I'm nuts to voluntarily go into a room that is 98 degrees, 90% humidity and voluntarily sweat and pretend to be a tree for 90 minutes at a time.  The answer is simple: it makes me feel better.  Mentally and physically.  Its' cathartic and calming and energizing all at once.  It builds strength and flexibility and focus.  I highly recommend it.  And no, I'm not a paid endorser for Sunstone Yoga. Although with my membership, I get to bring a guest with me to any class at any studio for free, so if you're interested let me know.

That's it for now.  Looking forward to the fun and family time that the holiday always brings.  I'm in a much better place than I was last year.  I don't feel as down and alone, so this holiday season so far has been so much fun.  I am so truly blessed.

Talk to you soon!
