A new
week started yesterday, and I started it with a fresh outlook. I went back to
church for the first time in awhile. Since I have been home, I have been afraid
to find a church. I decided to go with my sister’s family, and I was so happy I
did. It was the MOST refreshing way to start a week. I loved being able to let
everything go as I worshipped. Why did I let myself wait so long? Before I
left for church, I did a wonderful 30 minute cardio workout. What an amazing
way to start the day! I was able to work off stress, and I really felt ready to
take on the day! I am realizing more and more that I enjoy working out in the
mornings. It wakes my body up and helps me prepare mentally for my day. I was
also able to spend some time with my mom today…Which seeing as I live with her,
you would think that would not be hard to do at all! We are so busy all the
time. We rarely find free time to just hang out. We watched Les Mis because she
had not seen the movie yet! If you haven’t seen it either, I highly recommend it!
I LOVE IT! Granted, as a musician, I love the music. I couldn’t imagine not
loving the musical, movie, and soundtrack! I ended my Sunday by doing a short
(15 minute) core workout before calling it a night.
This
relaxing and new Sunday really helped me to start the week out with a new
outlook. I have certainly been stressed as I hunt for a job, tackle my to-do
lists, and balance my personal life. After the church service, I was able to
take a breath and allow myself to take in all the wonderful blessings that I
receive daily. I tend to forget about all the small things that make my life wonderful.
Therefore, today was a much better day! After work, my dad and I went to visit
my sister. Seeing my wonderful nieces and nephew were not taken for granted. I see
them every other day, and sometimes I definitely take it for granted, but it is
the best blessing of all! Watching them grow each day makes me smile, and I
love every second of it! Have I gushed about how much I love those kids enough?
I have decided to take at least 5 minutes a day to reflect on the small things
in my life that could easily be taken for granted. Today, it is my nieces and
nephews and the ability to encourage my mom to keep being healthy by a 1.2 mile
walk.
Questions of the Day:
1.
Do you have any small blessings that you take
for granted?
2.
What kind of weekend workouts do you do?
