Whats your happy place? Your place of utter relaxation and peace where you can retreat to re-charge yourself on a daily basis?
Is it reading a book?
Napping?
Prayer!
Coffee?
A cold Beer outside in the sun?
Something that's not a big deal that u don't need to pay for or find a sitter for but something quick and simple.
I think everybody needs to know what their thing is. When you find yourself stressed, snapping at everyone, or just plain depressed you can retreat to have 20 minutes or an hr of time just for you.
This is not selfish! How can you take care of others when you can't keep up with caring for yourself.
So find your thing and go do it today! Trust me when your done the people that have to be around you will thank you!

Job quirks
What really annoys you at your job?
You know the dividers at grocery stores that separate your items on the belt from the persons in front of you?
Well I've had cashiers be obviously annoyed at me for using them and for not using them! So which is it?
Who is a cashier? Do you like it when people use those?!

Routine
Schedules can be great. Finding the time to work out has always been difficult For me, not as difficult as finding the motivation but that's another post.
So I made myself a daily schedule and stuck to it for the 1st time today. Not only am I not my usually ready to crash self at this time but I have a ton of energy right now. And it's not crazy coffee wired energy but pure happiness and desire to do things!
I was able to work out, shower, dressed and ready before my daughter woke up. We ran errands, fixed a nice lunch for ourselves and my husband then at her nap time I made crafts!
Normally I am fighting taking a nap myself at this time but instead I gotsome things done that I've been wanting to do for myself.
Having very recently gone from being the main bread winner to a stay at home mom I am still learning
How to get it all done and still feel like I did or made something that represents me as a person not as a "stay at home wife and mom".
I think the key is a routine of some kind and getting up before the young children!
What is your story of your daily routine? How do you do it?

Hello?
Let me hear some opinions! This is not a one-writer blog but is a meeting place for anyone to hear or express their opinion!
I believe we are as a society too worried over "offending" people that we are failing to connect on a deeper level, a level I believe we were created to connect on.
No matter what you do or say someone somewhere won't like it. That's ok! I've heard a lot of things I didn't like and some I had to ignore and others really made me think.
We should as a people be able to practice common curtesy while at the same time talking about real important issues. All the off topic subjects - religion , church , politics, and most importantly daily lifestyle (joys and struggles) will be talked about here!
It's good for us to hear different viewpoints. It either reinforces what your own view is or makes you take a second look. This doesn't mean you change your viewpoint every time you hear something different. That's where your own core values come in.
I call this "standards". There is not a black and white for me. I have a standard of living that is guided by the Spirit and that's what I apply to life's choices/situations.
What is your lifestyle? What issue really gets to you?

Conditional Kindness??
Today I heard someone say they were not going be so nice because their kindness was not well received but was taken advantage of too often.
I don't know which is more sad, this being said or the fact that several people commented in agreement with it.
Reactions of those around you or circumstances in your life should not dictate the type of person you are. If you are someone who is kind then be kind no matter what another person does or says.
We can not always choose the circumstances in which we are in but we can all choose who we are.
William Shakespeare knew that when he wrote the line in Hamlet:
"This above all, to thine own self be true"
