it feels like 6 am

comfie jam jams and ugs on.
coffee pot on.
everyone else asleep.
time to get my write on.
lying on the floor sucks and I want to have wireless, but right now, besides that, I am at ease.
the ankle can almost bend like I need it to.
it sort of feels like that "foldgers" commercial growing up. And I am singing the song in my head as I type. Except the lack of decorations in this house. That will be fixed soon though, I guarantee. Maybe even today. I feel the need to come up with some sort of decoration theme or something. Decide on what we are doing here. Maybe it's still too early. And Christmas will help.
What does it feel like to be present in the moment? That is what I have been feeling lately. That and honesty. Honesty about where I am at and not feeling that constant desire to please people and live for others.
Just me and God.
What does that look like exactly? hmmm well it means being in touch with my God.
I keep asking him, "Show me the way."
and not like the Styx song. But, guide me. You and your opinion is what matters to me and what I want to guide my heart, decisions and life. It is a good place to be.

90 days are up

So, I came to this blog today wanting to write some more. It's been awhile and I think it's time I begin again. I had a friend ask me yesterday, do you feel like the lessons, things you are learning stick? I said yes. I said yes because it's not about the destination, it's about the journey. Not the cliche type of journey either. It's about it doesn't matter how many times it took you to get it right, did you? Are you working it out, or working on working it out? It being many a thing.
Your salvation, your marriage, your life issues, your weight, your finances, your ___________- you fill in the blank.
I was glad to know that after a summer, 90 days and chugging, that I am a different person. I was changed by SO many things. I am a better version of myself than I was 180 days ago or so. LOL

The other thing I was thinking about was a need to go back to the drawing board. Create some new goals, redefine my purpose and my vision. And this is where I get psyched.
What came to mind...what began this was the desire to grow my hair out. And it's going to take a long time, this sort of thing does not happen over night. As frustrating as that is, you figure that hair is what it is. It only grows as fast as it does. There is no changing that, minus some baby hormones that can affect it, but still it is what it is. So, I am setting a goal for myself regarding something I can only do a couple things about. And coming from this hair stylist, this is NOT an easy task. Here are the two things I can do for it.
I can only cut it with baby trims and clean ups.
I can keep it healthy, with good products, not over-processing it with color and taking good care of it.

What else is on my list of new goals.
Oh yes, since we all haven't been talking much on here. Well, I haven't been present....and update is over due.
I moved to Pennsylvania.
I sprained my ankle horribly and have to be very careful in the ways that I choose to exercise. Which sux because I can't run. And running has become my bestest of friends.
Ok, so patience is shortly becoming my new best friend.
I learned the military phonetic alphabet. Because I think it's important to learn something new and it seemed easy enough. I am going to start taking the Rosetta Stone Spanish course Buck's bringing home from work. Can't wait. I'm SO going to get my Spanish lovin' back on and use it more often. Maybe Quinn(my other new friend) can learn it too and we can talk to each other as well as her awesome son Julian. Ok, so this has become a letter...and not a blog so I'm done for today. I'll write again soon. But know I missed you blog world. And it's good to be back.
