What a difference a day (or two) can make.

The beginning of this week was in no shape or form ideal for me. For a few random reasons, but for the most part it was my attitude towards these issues.

Once I came out of my funk, I decided to move forward and onward in some areas of my life and am finding my efforts to be quite rewarded. Wow, taking a leap, no matter how small, can really make a difference. (how odd?)

Clearly my recent viewpoint was somewhat altered due to the lack of sleep I was getting by Hola waking so early. Now, he is “sleeping in” till somewhere btwn 6-7am only now we are dealing with a very dry cough that keeps all of our focus.

One of the things I chose to do for myself is join a book club. An online book club, in fact! Who would ever think I would join a book club? What I consider reading is a Nicholas Sparks book once a year or so. I blame having small children (JUST A TAD) and the rest of it based on not having the hardcore desire to spend my free time reading. I’ve been a tv girl most of my life and I enjoy keeping it that way. By joining the club, I am expanding on myself in areas that aren’t especially easy for me. It has taken me a little work to read through our first book, but I LIKE IT. I like going to bed a little earlier every night and catching up with a world unlike mine.

Also, hitting the gym first thing this morning has really made for a productive day. The mail pile, the small, accumulating medical bills? All taken care of. Spending an extra 15 minutes at nap time straightening up? Totally made a difference. Washing rugs that haven’t been touched in months? Done.

Now, this does not mean I’ll have something minute to complain about tomorrow, but overall, I’m liking the view from over here.
