1. The crud that hit me so hard yesterday that I slept 4 1/2 hours in the middle of the day....seems to be gone. I woke up this morning ready to take on the world...or at least the kitchen. I even managed to cook dinner tonight. So thankful for my health.
2. My sister-in-law, Mandy, inviting me to join a clean eating challenge. Eating healthy is one area that I really struggle with and I have learned so much the past couple of weeks. The challenge was full of lots of wonderful people who shared their struggles, their triumphs and their favorite clean eating recipe. I feel out-classed - clean eating to me means adding a salad to my lunch. However, I am learning that it is adding that salad and then swapping your white rice for brown rice and other small changes until how you eat is completely different that when you started.
3. A wake up call. I don't mean to still the title from The Rock's new reality TV show, but yeah, I got a wake up call. Along with that clean eating challenge, I was invited to learn about being a Beachbody coach. I've chosen not to become one, but in the process of learning about being a coach, I was challenged to list all of my roles (small sample: homeschooler, wife, mother, teacher, daughter...) and then choose 6 roles that I would focus on. Six. That is it. Six roles that I would work at and become amazing. Now the six roles will change over time (which is okay), but for right now my 6 roles have everything to do with being my children's teacher, mentor, health coach and mother.
4. My husband. I am so grateful for him. I am so thankful that he works hard everyday so I may stay home to teach our children. I am thankful that he supports me in all of my endeavors and love me even when I am being goofy.
5. My children. I love each of my children. They are amazing! I miss them being little, but I am finding that I am enjoying the ages and stages they are at more and more each day.
Happy Journey!
