Finding our own Sunshine in the day

Anyone else, feeling the winter blues or the hopes of Spring on the Horizon... It feels so close... or  are you just trying to catch a breath in the daily routine, of dropping kids off and picking them up. Sometimes I think to myself, I did a 100 things today and only had a few connections with those you love in the middle of it all.. 

Sometimes it feels like the busyness, pulls us, it keeps us going as, routines, do but at times in the middle of it, you wonder could, I have connected more, could I have not let the rush of routines cloud the day...



So  as a new, day started I felt those blues of the heart clouding my day.... sometimes we just need to feel lifted, and find our own happiness in the day to turn our day around.

When I have days like this I take a gratitude walk....., a discovery walk, or a walk discovering things of hope in my path.... 
Here's what I saw on my walk, as I took  it in it changed my perspective,I went  from the winter blues, to finding things in my path that brightened my path or day..... 
                 
                   


Then after my  walk to brighten up the morning, breathing in the wind and breeze, I was able to do a workout... This is another way to boost your mood... Taking care of ourselves, physically and mentally connecting our mind and body 



Sometimes just taking time for ourselves, is just what we need a walk, exercise, an outing just for yourself, lunch for yourself , or a new lipstick or treat.... As I took time to take a me day, a day to think, and a day to recenter myself, I felt better..... 

After running errands, I decided to find a fun bakery,  one I had never been to before something out of my normal places I stop, out of my normal routine, something new......  You know what, it was so fun to find a place that was, new and fun and different, it added a highlight to the day as I discovered a new little bakery and giant heart sugar cookies... 

Maybe at times, this is what we need, to step out of our comfort zone more and be open for new possibilities... New adventures things to break up our normal routines at times... 




Discovering new things can brighten our day and change up the day......



You know what as I let my heart be open to finding a glimmer of hope coming off the winter days and winter blues.... I ended up filling my day with things that brightened my heart, sometimes we just have to see what we can discover in our day even if it means, reaching inside and lifting our own spirits or looking outside of ourselves, for ways to pause and brighten the day, with a discovery walk, exercise, a  fun treat in the day, or finding a new place to visit,  that we have never been too, creating our own bright spot in our day.... 




And Sometimes the best thing you can do is love yourself and be patient with the days that aren't bright on the inside and find hope on the outside..... 


And little by little as we seek to have our heart lifted, we will find it in our own journey or path as we choose to find it..

Looking for Rainbows

                                         Looking for Rainbows.........      Have you ever found yourself looking for Rainbows or the silver lining on the clouds after things haven't gone as you had planned? Sometimes it's, hard to see past the now, to see past our storms or challenges in the now to see the silver lining, or Rainbows that seem to come after our trial of faith and tears                                Sometimes even in the middle of our challenges, there can be rainbows even in the middle. A week ago he had a family trip planned to take our daughter for a few College tours, it, was a miracle to have the trip come Together.... But then slipped through our grasp as the weather in other areas affected our layovers and flights, causing them to get canceled. That day we felt so hop...

                                          "  The Heart of a Mom.....built by love and with Faith''                                                     '' Wherefore, be not weary in well-being, for ye are laying the foundation of a great work. And out of small things proceedeth that which is great.....  This Scripture has been impressed in my mind over and over the last few months, as I have pondered on the influence of a mother and there role in there children's life.....We have the ability to influence our children every day and leave impressions on their hearts. What things do we want to teach them and what things do we want to impress upon their hearts.....''You are loved and you matter,You are a child of God and you are not alone....We love y...

What are you going to write for your Thursday blog writing...  (Me, thinking yes, I have one follower.... ❤️) then I said well I  have been so busy taking care of kiddos the last few, weeks as  my hubby was  on a military trip than a trip to go to his grandma's funeral .. Extending his trip a another few  days, so with this,  I have been running in every direction trying to keep up... Most days have been good, some days longer than others between and a few, sick days somewhere in the middle, but yet feel blessed, that  I have had strength on the longer days to get through and that we have taken one day at a time.....   I have been excited to share a new post on Thursdays..... just for fun, as I love Thursdays... But have missed a few here and there... And definitely missed writing the last few weeks with so much goin...
