Today’s Challenge: Get social. Make plans with somebody this week and get out of the routine. Shake things up. Have a little fun! 🙂

Gosh, I’m going through so many crazy changes… Some I’m excited about, some make me sad, but it’s what this amazing life is all about. During these times of change I know how easy it is to isolate–I’ve done it. I usually use the excuse that I’m too busy with writing and work to make time with friends. But in truth, sometimes I just want to be alone. Being an introvert, time alone is how I recharge my batteries. But I can see that too much time alone can also drain energy and happiness. Finding that balance is key. So if it’s been awhile since you called a friend to have coffee or lunch, maybe it’s time to reach out. Your friend just might need a friend, too. 🙂

Look Through Old Pictures and #Memories

Today’s Challenge: Look through your old pictures and memories.

I recently went through hard times with somebody I love. I was also in the process of spring cleaning and organizing.

When I came across boxes of old pictures and memories, I slowed down enough to reminisce.

I cried. I laughed. I took pictures of pictures and text them to my sisters. ( I like that rhyme 🙂 )

I separated my memories into three separate boxes: family, friends, and my own personal accomplishments.

It was good for me. I was reminded of my accomplishments, good friends, and loving family. I thought about past loves, family and friends in heaven, and lost dreams.

Going through my past felt like a type of meditation; I blocked out everything but the treasured memories I held on to.

And I learned that no matter what problems I go through with people I love, I will never forget the good times we shared or the positive impact they had on my life.
