Have a great weekend! 🙂

This weekend I’m going to catch up with my favorite bloggers. I’ve been super busy the last few days working on my manuscript. I’m hoping we go to press next week. Yay! 🙂

#JUMP! Sometimes We Just Have to JUMP!

Today’s Challenge: JUMP! Sometimes we just have to JUMP!

Timing isn’t always ideal. Our ducks aren’t always perfectly aligned. And for me, I could edit my manuscript forever. But sometimes we just have to take that leap of faith and take our opportunities when they are presented. When we JUMP out of our comfort zone, we are taking incredible risks that not only fill us with feelings of accomplishment but also boost our self-esteem. Taking chances is what living is all about! So get out there and JUMP for something you want! 🙂

Get Ready for #Spring!

Today’s Challenge: Get ready for spring! 🙂

For me this means spring cleaning and yard work. I’m more excited for the yard work–I’m ready to get outside.

Yesterday, I started pulling some weeds in my rock garden and rearranging a few stepping-stones. I even moved my outdoor furniture from the garage to my patio, even though we’ll probably get at least one more snowstorm–I couldn’t resist. If it snows, I’ll bring the cushions inside. 🙂

Being outside was wonderful. My pug and I enjoyed the fresh air and sunshine as I made plans for my rock garden and yard. I think we’ll do more of the same today and this weekend.

Have a great weekend! 🙂

Try Not to #Worry. Worrying Takes…

Today’s Challenge: Try not to worry. Worrying takes away all the good in your life right now.

I had to learn this lesson while I was trying to save my Pug from cancer. (She’s still doing great!) I’ve also had to learn this over the years while going through major life changes. Easier said than done. I’m going through another life transition… they just keep coming… I don’t like change… 🙂 But this time, I’m using exercise to help me get through it. I figure worry is nothing but pent-up nervousness, frustration and fear of the unknown–basically, worry is nervous energy that needs to be released. A walk helps, lifting weights even better, but today I’m going to try to go for a run… This should be interesting! LOL I’m not much of a jogger, but I have the need to run off some of this sad, negative energy. I’m hoping I can do a half mile to start. Wish me luck! 🙂
