I've been meaning to post

I always set these lofty goals for myself, and write way to many to-do and get-accomplished lists for myself.  And then I get overwhelmed.

I really like the idea of blogging, but it seems like it is always the one thing on my back burner and before I know it a month has pasts since the fun spontaneous outing into the open pasture to fly a kite, on a beautiful fall day.

This time of the year I always get overwhelmed with wanting to clean out the house, storage room, basement, everything you can think of before the holidays.  I love purging, there is something about it that makes me feel relieved and lighter.  It is that time of the year were Nate just smiles and brace himself for the getting rid of everything we don't use.... between us, he is the hoarder in the family.

With the upcoming deployment I need to do better, I wrote a couple of times a week, so Nate could have updates Ian and know what we going on.  I loved it, it was good for my soul to write all my emotions, feelings, and frustrations in the moment.

I have been trying to prioritize thing in my life, changing a lot of my lifestyle for the better.  I think once I conquer my goal of eating every 2-3 hours a day, I will work on write a blog a couple of times a week.  Baby steps into making life more manageable, and making things a normal part of the day.

I have been cleaning out my life, messy friendships, the house, my health, doing more bible studies and spending time with the Lord.  I feel better, lighter, more enthusiastic, I have more energy to get stuff done, and a little less stress.

I love this feeling at the moment, contentment in my life.  I am happy.  I love my husband and babies, and I have decided, I am to blessed to be stressed.

Happy Monday!!!!
