Slowly but Surely....

Ok, no more big statements like, "I'm going to update every day, without fail." I am learning to give myself a little grace and realize that there are some days I'm not going to be able to do all 100 things that I say I can do.

I'm learning, slowly but surely, how to put a little balance back in my life. Since January, trying to find that balance between my faith, my work life, my home life, my family, my friends, my boyfriend, my lawyer (car accident), my health, my blog and my me time has been quite a difficult challenge for me. As one who is a people-pleaser and over-achiever, I have been trying to be 100% to all of those buckets of my life. Unfortunately, there are only 24 hours in a day and, as hard as it is for me to admit, I just can't do everything.

You have no idea how long it took me to come to that conclusion. Silly, I know.

In conclusion though, I love my blog. When I get to write about the things I'm thankful for, my whole outlook on life improves. This is something I don't want to fall by the way-side... but it has because I am technically not letting anyone down if I don't write. So, since it's important to me, I'm going to do my best to keep up with it a little better. I can't promise I'll post every day, but I will do my best to keep more regular updates on the amazing things in my life.

So, thank you to all of you who have encouraged me to keep on blogging. And thank you for your patience with me as I learn how to give myself a little grace. :)

Now, back to what I'm thankful for today: Posse Lunch!!

At work, there is a group of us young people who like to get together most days for lunch. I don't normally get to eat with them, but I got to today and it was so refreshing! It is such a sweet group of friends and we all truly care about one another - a rare blessing in the workplace. A few of them, like Christen , Kelly, Laura and Lindsey (even though she technically doesn't work here anymore), have blogs of their own that you should check out! I am so thankful for each and every one of them and their constant words of encouragement and optimistic outlook. They're the best!
