Happy New Year's Eve!!

Avoid overthinking and social comparison   Comparing yourself to someone else can be poisonous. The only person you should compare to is yourself before now. I can honestly say that I am my own worst enemy when it comes to overthinking things. As I get older, I become more and more of a worry-wart. It's so hard not to be! So many things seem to pile on top of one another. You have bills, holidays are coming, you didn't bonus last month, your dog has an eye infection, husband is in school, yada, yada, yada.... With all of these things snowballing on you, it is very important to stop, take a deep breath, and deal with them one at a time. Some of these circumstances will be around for a while, some are a passing issue, but they all deserve some sort of acknowledgement and/or resolution.

Cultivate Optimism People who think optimistically see the world as a place packed with endless opportunities, especially in trying times.

Express Gratitude When you appreciate what you have, what you have appreciates in value. If we aren't thankful for what we already have, we will have a hard time ever being happy. Think of the people that would drop everything to run to your side if ever you should need them. Now think about how many of those people you would reciprocate the favor for.

Happy Monday!!        If you haven't discovered quinoa yet, shame on you! It is quickly becoming a staple in our house. One sack of Simply Balanced brand quinoa from Target (Info only. Not sold online, sorry!) can last in our home for approximately 6 meals with 4 servings. Always on the look out for super tasty healthy foods, we love that quinoa is high in protein and gluten-free.

Oh my it's been a while! My new year's resolution this year is to focus more on blogging. Why not start it back up a little early?
