Life Composition

I've recently begun a year long process of life composition. We are all composers of our life aren't we? We do create our own reality. After all, if we can't control the direction of our own life, who can?

One of the mantras of this coaching is "Do It Now!" If you contemplate the weight of that one sentence, it is just overwhelming to think of what could be achieved in one lifetime.

No excuses. Just act. Think about that.

My life is composed of six major goals ("rocks") - self, family, husband, create, health, enjoy.
These are all of the areas that mean the most to me right now. Each day I will plan an act to put me closer to my goals. At the end of the day, I review what I've accomplished and make a plan for the next day.

My thought yesterday was this:

I feel like I'm poised at the starting gate ready to give it all I've got. Let inhibition go and feel the strength and creativity take over. Write, draw, dream.

I'm ready to take control of my life. Are you?

THURSDAY THOUGHTS - Where's the Romance?

I was treated to many surprises this past Valentine's Day.

A rose waiting for me in the morning.
Lunch with hubby, heart shaped pizza and a balloon (we *never* have lunch together so this was a big deal)
After the kids went to bed, strawberries dipped in chocolate and whipped cream and a good bottle of champagne

:-)

Yesterday I was in for another surprise...hubby decided we should take a bath together. He went in there before I did. When I came in he had lit candles all around the room, put bubble bath in the tub (he used the kids Strawberry Shortcake bubble bath....hee hee!), and rose petals strewn across the floor and soaking in the bathwater.

I am so fortunate to be where I'm at today. It's been a long and exhausting road at times, but after 16 years of marriage, we've still got it...and that's a wonderful thing!

Love your life today!

Another step toward independence...

Yesterday we gave Korbin his own clock radio. We set the alarm for 6 AM, showed him how to turn it off, etc. Last night he turned on the music and told me to come to his room for a little while. When I did I crawled onto his bed and said "Now what should I do?" and he told me to just relax for a little while! (Have I raised him right or what??)

He's always been slow to wake up in the mornings so we did not know if it would work for him, BUT, voila, this morning he got up, turned off the alarm and got dressed without us asking him to get ready over and over. I hope this lasts.

But, **SOB**, he's getting so big and independent now!!
