The Daily Balance

Thursday already? Jeezy!

With the week flying by, it’s so easy to get caught up in the chaos and keep moving full speed ahead. I encourage you to STOP. Just for a second. Don’t worry, in no time at all you’ll be back at it, but just take a few minutes to stop, breathe and reflect on your week.

You’ll be happy you did.

This week, I’m thankful for…

Bread and butter – If I could live on this, with no threat to my cardiac health, I would. Seriously.

The Wire – me and the Mister’s summer selection. Just finished season 1 and it rocked my socks.

VACATION. Today is my last day at work. Today is my last day at work. Today is my last day at work. Until Monday, July 19. Did you hear that? Good. Just want to make sure I’m rubbing it in.

Celebrations! Tonight I head to Chicago to visit my oldest, bestest friend Tracy for her Bachelorette Party Extravaganza. Prepare yourself for ridiculous photos and lots of stuff that probably only I will find funny.

Good books — Currently reading: The Piano Teacher. Up next: Little Bee.

Smoothies – in this heat, I’ve been livin’ off ‘em!

Paper Tongues – my new favorite band. Listen to them now.

What are you thankful for this week? I love reading your lists, so if you have time, please share!

   -that summer finally hit Oregon (even though it’s 100)
   -that my husband (a youth pastor) is resigning and that for the first time in our adult lives we can church hop and find an awesome church where we can really grow. I am so excited about this.
   -that I woke up at 5 a.m.
   -that i have the means to be a part of an awesome gym
   -for the cup of coffee in front of me!

   I’m thankful for my family, my cats, my Amor, and right now, most definitely my friends. They’re pulling me through a seriously tough time right now. =)
