Finally it's back to full routine from the holidays! I love the holidays but somehow my life gets so scattered! Maybe scattered isn't quite the word to use here but just different focus. This year on top of the holiday activities Natalie moved back home. It has taken us weeks to actually get her living stuff out of the garage and assimilated back into the house in some sort of fashion that doesn't look and feel like chaos! Today she is back in college and our routine for the next couple of months begins. I have to admit that even though the focus overshadowed the holidays at times the whole transition so far has gone smoother than anticipated. It probably keeps me on my toes and mentally sharp to have to adjust to new routines and schedules.... like 5 cats! There have been a few tussels and one emergency vet visit but for the most part the cats have begun to adjust from the stress of moving and becoming part of a new pack. So, I will meditate, exercise, water my plants, and begin planning for spring and summer vacation trips! Go routines!!!!!!

Awesome
I have figured out how to start to customize my blog page.... in case you haven't noticed! I think it looks fabulous! It probably means I have way too much time on my hands to play with this feature but...... it's the little things in life that matter!

The little Things in Life
Current mood: animated
It's the little things in life that give you joy. If you watch for them... they are there. Today I was on a wellness trek.... after having my annual pap last week it was time to follow with a blood test and a mammogram. Before I set out I meditated that only loving hands would touch my body today. It was heaven... believe it or not. The blood test was probably the best I've ever had.... the needle was in and all the blood was drawn by the time I looked down to see when the medical personnel was going to prick me. I was even able to talk them into giving me the deep purple special bandage wrap! I ended up taking my book to wait for the mammogram and the office surprised me by taking me 20 minutes early. Not only was the machine warm but I only had to have one set of xrays.... everything was clear and a good picture. Since I was finished early and waiting for Carol to share brunch with (since I had to fast for the blood test) I stopped to buy myself a pink rose. The Florist was having a special sale and open house so they not only served me cookies, hot cider, gave me a free flower calendar but they also had pink roses on sale and gave me an extra 15% off! I ended up with a dozen pink roses to reward myself with for taking care of myself!!! Then I was off to the best brunch ever!!!!!! I thank all of the people today that helped me celebrate! (like Cole for putting up with all my pings of joy! and Carol for listening to me gush with happiness and sharing brunch!... as well as everyone else I ran into!) I wish you all a day when the little things mount up to give you happiness!

Rehearsal
Current mood: excited
If I figure out how to isolate and send out a sample of the latest rehearsal with drumming and harmonies... I will do so. I just don't know how to yet. It sounds great!!!!! I'm drumming and Natalie & David are singing. Awesome! Two rehearsals and we are making big progress! (Gail... not American Idol material but terrific chanting harmonics!)

Silence
Current mood: calm
Ahhhhhh...... today is quiet! For the last three days I have had roofers pounding , crawling, and nailing on my roof. You get used to it but when it is finally quiet you realize just how tense the noise makes you! As soon as it is silent you sort of exhale and drop your shoulders..... Ahhhhhhh.....

Rearranged
Current mood: okay
It seems like this whole week has been rearranged. I sort of plan out what I think is going to happen and then I realize that with a few phone calls my whole life is switched around. I keep telling myself to stay flexible and go with the flow. So far things have been fine...just different than the normal routine. I guess we need these days to appreciate the regular routine weeks!

Can't believe
Current mood: impressed
Made up our minds to reroof on Sunday... today is Wednesday and the crew is all over the roof tearing away the old burnt out shake shingles. It looks like I will have a new roof on the house by Thursday or Friday!
