I’m going through alot of transition right now, the kind that comes from moving to a new city and getting your family settled/organized/happy/adjusted/rested. Add to that the fact that after several years of feeling crappy most of the time, my health is improving and I’m feeling stronger (minus the past day or two from migranes). This also means that I feel the need to take on more, do more while I’m feeling able. So the basic things that I struggled with only a year ago are meaning alot to me right now.

I’m having fun dreaming about meals I want to make for my family, and how I can maximize my time by cleaning at certain times each day, and then having free blocks of time to work on my podcast and of course spend time with the kiddos. Fall is just a delicious time to refocus and regroup.

I’m happy to report that I’m making it to church, making meals, driving kids to school and back, establishing bedtime routines, reading with my children each day, doing homework with them, and getting dressed myself each day. These sound like the basics, and they are - but I wasn’t able to do the basics that long ago. So I’m grateful for my new found energy and excited to continue adding more of the things that matter to my days.
