Stay grateful, loves. Not a busy week for the blog -- up and running next week! Expect a long list of weekly finds next week (because that definitely never stops accumulating). Enjoy your saved five minutes and do something fun! Xx. P.S. there won't be much rest going on for me -- saving it all for spring break ;-).
Grateful for teaching yoga and meeting kindred spirits. Grateful for new ideas and exciting possibilities. Grateful for the freedom to choose what I wish to do with my time. Grateful for having this space to share with the world. Grateful for everything under the moon and beyond. Xx.
One week to go until I'm reading over books filled with economic based calculus and texts about Hinduism. One week of relaxation coupled with intense panic of the unknown, and I'm back in Winston-Salem, making sense of everything all over again. I'm not as agitated as I was for the beginning of the fall semester; I've made my choice to remain at Wake, and I'm sticking to that decision. But it doesn't mean I don't get a little nervous at the idea of going back to a fuller than full workload. Will I get exhausted again? Burn out? It's the new year, new me kind of deal, but is it? It's never easy transitioning from a little work here and there to a packed, 19 hour day, 7 days of the week kind of deal, but I'm determined to make it work.
This past weekend, I hung out around the house, became frustrated, watched a few seasons of Bones, made a recipe that I can't wait to put a twist on, and thought long and hard about what this new year will mean in the long run. My plan this year? One resolution a month mixed with some new habits and attitude adjustments -- all will be minimally planned and I'll be spending life in the moment (thanks to resolution #1 - Spontaneity). I'm really excited. This week I'm hoping to catch up with friends before I go back and really start living the life I want for my future. Amazing 2015 here I come!
I am grateful for trusting friendships.
I am grateful for love.
I am grateful for a desire to be more spontaneous.
I am grateful for hope.
I am grateful for passion and commitment.
I am grateful for living a life I am proud to live.
I am grateful for the sun, the moon, and the stars and how they will always keep me on track.
xx
