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!

Munchie Mix for Monday

Image
Happy Monday!  I hope that everyone was able to enjoy their weekend before today arrived and a new week is upon us again.  I had great hopes and ideas for starting something like "Motivational Monday" posts to share with you today.  Well, I am very much a planner and do not like when things stray off routine and my day goes a bit differently than originally planned.  This is something that I am trying to be a bit more relaxed about.  Anyway, this morning, I had to head to the local Meijer for some groceries and came home with not only lots of groceries, but also a headache.  Unfortunately, this happens more times than not.  I unloaded the groceries into the kitchen and my headache instantly got worse as I was trying to find places to put them and keep it in an organized and orderly fashion.  I moved into this house just over a month ago and the pantry and cupboards are feeling less than user friendly.  Enough of the explanation of my change of plans.  Here is what I did t

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

To My Wonderful Mom...Happy Birthday!

Image
So, were you wondering if I disappeared from the blogging world abruptly last week?  I was feeling awful with each passing day that I did not have a post.  The week kind of slipped away from me and I headed home to Michigan for a visit over the weekend.  I have no excuses, just caught up in the craziness of my life.  I am back and will try not to disappear like that again...at least without some sort of warning. Today, I am dedicating my post to my incredible mom.  It is my mom's 70th birthday today!  I cannot believe my mom could possibly be 70 years old! I know that she has a hard time believing it herself. Time passes too quickly.  I wanted to write this post to share with you what a wonderful mom that I have been blessed with.  My mom and I have been through more things than I could even begin to share with you.  My mom has always been there for me regardless what the situation.  She has always encouraged me that I could do anything I set my mind to doing.  Whenever doubt s
