A Bit of Inspiration

Today, I woke up after a restless night of sleep and was feeling blah.  It seems that every year, I get the winter blahs.  The excitement of the holidays, packed full schedules and time spent with friends and family seems to come to a screeching halt once January rolls around.  This leaves me feeling a bit empty.  The cold, gray, winter days just seem to intensify these feelings.  I am ready for spring!  Unfortunately, I have a few months to push through before I wake up to the birds singing and the sun shining in my bedroom window.  So, as I was feeling blah, I decided to search for some inspiration.  I looked for some future running events that I could possibly train for and then spent some time viewing inspiration on the ever popular YouTube.com. 

Here is what I have to share with you today.  I hope that if you are feeling even the slightest bit of the blahs or are struggling with something in your own life, that this will bring you some inspiration.  Enjoy your Saturday!

Thankful Thursday - Snow Days

Image
I am 100% convinced that I must have brought the Michigan weather along with me when I moved south, here to Ohio.  I was under the impression that southern Ohio has a much more mild climate and less snow. Well, I have yet to see proof of this. The idea of less snow really excited me! We have had almost as much snow as back in my hometown!   I would love to see warm and sunny weather every single day.  Perhaps, to experience that type of tranquility, I will need to move to a beautiful Caribbean island and sell hot dogs or ice cream on the beach. This is a thought that passes through my mind no less than five times a day in the winter. Like I mentioned before, January and February are the toughest months for me.  It is almost as if old man winter casts a spell of the nasty blahs and sadness on me.  Some days just tend to be worse than others.  I am seriously considering hibernating next winter. It may pose a problem for me considering that I don't like to lie around and sleep.  I

It Happened To Me Again!

I can't believe it happened to me again!  More brown bananas!  I certainly hope this is NOT a sign of things in my life turning bad and rotting.  The funny this is, I do not even eat bananas or things made with bananas very often because they are too sugary.  Yes, they taste good and I enjoy them, they just don't work out with my body being a Type 1. So, today, I decided to bake some banana crumb muffins with my lovely bananas.  As I was making my muffins and brainstorming for this post, I thought I would toss out a "Funny Fact" about me.  Are you ready for this one?  I am sure by now, you have picked up on the fact that I absolutely love baking and it brings me such happiness.  Yes, I know, I am a total cheese ball!  Well, the "Funny Fact" that I am revealing about myself is that I have this pipe dream to one day own my own bakery.  I worked in a bakery for almost two years and loved it!  The drawback was total lack of sleep.  So, rather than a retai

Things You Can Learn From a Seven Year Old...

First Day...not quite a smile Yesterday afternoon was our conference with Emma's teacher and I could not possibly be more proud!  I had no doubt in my mind what I would hear from her teacher when I sat across the table from her.  She is doing wonderful and on and on...music to my ears. This school year brought many new changes upon us.  First and foremost, moving to a new city, in a different state, far from anything we have ever known.  To me, this was a HUGE change to face.  This move also meant a new school for Emma.  I will admit 100% that I was terrified at the thought and even more worried about her having to begin a new school where there was not one familiar face awaiting as she set foot inside on that very first day.  To make me even more apprehensive, was the fact that she had to start this new school the following day after we moved to Cincinnati.  One more thing to add...her first day in school was actually the third week for the rest of the students.  This made m
