Umm Motivation: Where Are You?

Monday, Monday, Monday. 

I'm actually horribly excited for you! There are some wonderful things happening today. One of which is having the day off work...the other? While you'll have to wait to hear about that one ;) Sorry loves 

 I've been thinking a lot about life lately. About past life, about present life and about future life. There are things in the past that are incredibly painful. Things that I find myself grieving over sometimes still. Lately it's been not having my best friend, uncle and grandfather here. I know that where ever I go they are there but it's not the same when I can't hear their laughs and feel their hugs. 

I miss them more than words can express and though I know that they all are in far better places it's hard not having them here. Selfish of me I know. 

I've also been thinking a lot about being "mindful" which brings me back to this post which I wrote last April:  Live Your Life

 If you haven't read it yet I'd love for you to head over and read it now and I'd love to hear your thoughts. It is by far one of my favorite and most real posts that I've written. I think I'm back at a point where I need to stop and focus more on the things going on around me. I need more time with family and friends. More time to enjoy the joy in life. Mission for the next month? Laugh more and take time to live. Really, truly live.

And the last thing that's been on my mind is organization. I am killing to go through everything in the house and get rid of it to organize and simplify our lives. Cleaning and tossing always makes me feel refreshed. Second mission for the next month? Clean, organize and simplify!
