My Life Lately…
Life lately… oh geez. You ever have those weeks (or possibly longer…) where everything just makes you mad for one reason or another? When you just don’t feel like doing anything but you have SO much to do? When that commercial for Lisa Ling’s “Our America” comes on and makes you cry?? Some maaay call that PMS… (what do they know) I just call it a bad week. A bad week that belonged to me. It wasn’t necessarily because of anything that happened, it was more of my attitude towards everything in front of me. So I drank a lot of coffee and bought a really cute Dodo iPad case. We were housesitting all week so I enjoyed watching cable (something we don’t have at our house) and cooking in the adorable kitchen.
I plan on spending some good time talking to God and reading His word this weekend. Whenever I have a week like this one I know I’m lacking in the “feeding the soul” area. One thing I’ve learned through being a creative is that to give to the world you have to get from somewhere. To give love you first must receive love. And when I start feeling like I can’t give anymore, I realize that I haven’t received for too long. I have to spend time praying and reading, getting outside, exercising, (you get the idea) and it makes the world of difference. It’s way to easy to get caught up in the duties of everyday life and not take any time for yourself. After too long it gets to you!
Bad weeks happen. It’s a part of life. So I say cheers to a rejuvenating, restful and uplifting weekend! Can I get an AMEN??
Happy Friday you guys- I hope your week was better than mine! Thanks for reading my little rant 
Enjoy your weekend!
Amen! Thanks for this reminder!
“One thing I’ve learned through being a creative is that to give to the world you have to get from somewhere. To give love you first must receive love.”
I love this. Thank you for saying it so perfectly.
That’s really sweet of you Laura- I’m glad it could speak to you a bit
how is your running going, joanna? (and nolan’s too?) i keep meaning to ask:) right now, running in the mornings has made my days waaaay more productive than the ones i don’t run…and its always good to just get out there and think:)
Running has been good! Now that we’re getting up to the higher milage it definitely makes it harder to find the time- but yes, running always does wonders to my productivity too. It’s amazing how good it makes you feel to get out in the world. It was my saving grace this week!
Love you, Jo! Sorry it’s been a bum bum of a week. I’m excited to hang out with you guys on Sunday. Yay for little and big friends and In-n-Out (which I’m already craving)!
