Work In Progress

I had heard a ton of hype about A New Earth, a new age-y kind of book out there and I decided to read it because I was at Costco and one of my favorite things to do is buy books at Costco! I'm severely ADD (really, its hard for me to even write posts without getting up to do something else or change topics!) anyway, I enjoyed reading it before bed because it kept my attention and really helped relax me. I had no idea it would be so much about the human personality. If you're looking for something to read, I highly recommend it, it tells you, or at least makes you think about yourself and our culture and it's actually funny, but I don't think it's meant to be...it's hard to explain if you haven't read it,but it really drives home the fact that we as people think too too much! And we are taken over not only by trying to impress and prove our success and abilities to others, but to ourselves. 

I have always said I am a work in progress (whenever I realize I've done something immature or something I should have thought twice about) and now more than ever I am working on just loving life and the beautiful simplicity it can be if you let it! I'm also an overthinker/analyzer to the MAX. I get it from my mom. I love you mom, but you need to relax and have a glass of wine:) I'll have one with you. 

My new Louis bag? LOVE it. Thinking about my next "career" venture? VERY  exciting. Possibly winning HGTV home giveaway in Sonoma? EXTREMELY  dreamy. But I know that those things really do not come close to being important in my big picture. I'm focusing on living in the moment and reminding myself that things don't make you happy. It's all in our control which is completely awesome. Not to mention freeing. Just loving the present and how beautiful God has made even the most simple things, like geese migration! (which I did watch running on the treadmill at the gym, so cute and random). 

My grandpa had a few big seizures yesterday (possibly related to the stroke he had Sept. 11) and when things like that happen to those dearest to you, and your sitting with them in the hospital, all that silly stuff we shouldn't care about becomes clear and flies out the window! So, either you think I am a bit crazy now, or maybe you are thinking about loving life like me! Either way, have a wonderful saturday and stop to smell a flower or pet a doggie:) Oh-and tell those you love-you LOVE them!

Loving the simple things :)
