Our week. Living in the now

            Last week I was so worried about all that has been going on in the news, that I did not allow myself to enjoy my days to the fullest. Once I was reminded by my husband to just let go, I felt as though a weight was lifted off my shoulders. I'm constantly reminding myself the importance of letting go, and letting things just be. So this week, I took the time to appreciate the simple things in life. We baked, danced, and just enjoyed the simple things in life.    This morning we welcomed a few snow flurries. I made us some cinnamon swirl pancakes. They were delicious, and I enjoyed a nice cup of coffee. Shortly after we bundled up, and headed out to the library. This week we did some exploring. We took a trip down to the park, and explored the beautiful scenery. My daughter absolutely loves park days. Sliding, swinging, and saying hello to the friendly geese. We always have a lovely time at th...

Denis Waitley   The weekend arrived and it was time to push my worries, and doubts aside. It's been a long two weeks with everything that has been going on with the shutdown, on top of many other things. This weekend I just let go and reminded myself just how thankful I am. This weekend the air was cool, with a slight breeze. The streets are covered in autumn leaves, and the sun attempted to make an appearance through the clouds. We spent most of our time indoors. My husband made some delicious caramel popcorn, which was amazing. We recently purchased a popcorn maker since we had a popcorn recipe book sitting around collecting dust. It's been nice experimenting with the different recipes. We also cooked up a delicious dinner, we had lasagna stuffed shells. I'm not sure if it's the ...
