I am constantly surprised by what I have to relearn, over and over again. Last weekend, was one of those surprising weekends. Sunday was one of those days that tested my fortitude as a doggy mommy. The first time we went out, AccuWeather informed me that it was 48° with a real feel of 54°. So, I bundled up to take her out for the morning empty the dog exercise and rushed back inside.

In fact, our thoughts are so important that we can change our lives by changing our thoughts. This may seem so obvious as to be redundant for me to write it in a blog, but the fact is that while we may consciously know that our thoughts affect how we feel, many of us don’t consciously listen to that little Continue reading » Deliberately Finding Joy |
