Day 3422 – How To Be Thankful When Life Slows Your Pace – repost

Posted on November 23, 2018 by 365 days of marriage

I feel like I’m finally on the mend today, which is good because I have some work for one of my clients today! It was hard to take it easy this week. I thought this week would be one of knocking out a number of projects, making progress on things that have been sitting for a while, and just an all around catch up week. I was not expecting to get sick, and stuck in bed most of the week. But instead of getting discouraged in my lack of productivity, I decided to be thankful. Here are a handful of the things I AM thankful for this week:

– That Bret closed on his second house, which takes a little of the financial burden off me.
– That my clients are super understanding, and care about my health most of all.
– That it is a slow season on all fronts (Bret’s out of school, client projects are slower right now, etc)
– That I have jobs that allow me to take breaks when I need to.
– That I have learned over the years to listen to my body, and not push things.
– That the imperative things were accomplished.

What about you? What are you thankful for when life forces you to slow down?

Day 3032 – A Full Week, A Hearty Cold, And An Amazing Husband

Posted on October 29, 2017 by 365 days of marriage

Oh baby, what a week of highs and lows. Loss and gains. I started the weekend feeling great. I hit a recent PR in my running (which I finally took Bret’s advice, and am starting with a short distance, why do I wait so long to take his advice?), and I find myself here today quite sick. You should have heard my sexy phlegm (oh yea, I still make Friends references) driving home from the wedding. It got to the point that I had to stop talking.

On Friday, Bret’s co-worker invited us to the new Guinness factory here in Baltimore for a tour. Since I was way under the weather, I decided to stay home. When Bret arrived home, there was a crinkling in his coat. That amazing man brought me CFA chicken soup and some nuggets. I love that he still surprises me, even after 3032 days or 8.3 years. I am so thankful this man, who is the best friend I have ever had. Friends, that is one of the secrets to a good marriage – deep friendship.

Now I’m off to cuddle under blankets, cough my lungs out, and heal my body.
