life lately...



Feeling: Happy. These last six months have been life-giving and joyful. I've seen such a change in myself ever since I quit my job and left some unhealthy situations. I'm more cheerful and even though we have big decisions looming over us, I'm just happy. 

Thinking: Writing. I love doing it. I love encouraging other people to do it. So, I've been thinking about how I can do it more. 

Loving: Yoga. Where has this fusion of dance and cardio been all of my life? After months of practice, I finally held the crow pose for 4 seconds this week. 4 SECONDS. I'm elated and have plans to keep building on that progress. 

Trying: New designs for letterpress cards. I'm trying again to dive into the letterpress world and this time, I think I'll be a little more prepared. 

Reading: The Professor & The Madman. It's pretty interesting so far, although at times it gets a little dry. I'm waiting for it to pick up a little bit, but maybe I'm just transitioning still from the fast-paced The Martian. I haven't given up hope yet! 

Praying: Patience. My husband's residency with the church ends in May; he graduates seminary in August; and, we don't have any plans. The combination is creating equal parts excitement and anxiety in us. We are ready to feel settled, to sink our teeth into a new place and serve it and love it and grow in it. But we just don't know where that will be yet, so we're waiting...kind of patiently.
