This morning I'm being lazy. After working a few 70-hour weeks and then heading out of town for a conference, staying in bed late playing Words with Friends on my iPad is just what I needed. I always feel guilty when I accomplish nothing during my limited free time, but I'm really working on getting over that . . . one lazy morning at a time. :)

Today I am grateful for courage . . .
Wow, it's been a long time since I posted. To say I've been busy is quite the understatement. After working at my last job for just seven months, I decided it was time to make a change. I had been there just a few months when I realized it was not a good fit. I really liked my co-workers, but that just wasn't enough to make me happy there. I was thrilled when the opportunity to get back into homebuilding came along, and I decided to go for it. I'm definitely not a job-hopper; I was at my prior job for twelve years and the two jobs before that for five years each. So, it took a lot of courage to face my fears and take a new job in an industry that's still a little shaky rather than staying in a comfortable job in a much more stable industry. I worried that I might find out I'm not a good fit for this job either, and I just couldn't have another short stint on my resume. Well, I'm so glad I found the courage to follow my heart. I love my new company, my co-workers are great, and I'm back to doing what I love. I'm working a lot of hours these days, but it's so worth it. All in all, I've learned that sometimes you just have to trust your gut and take that leap of faith.

Today I am grateful for the art of choreography . . .
My 15-year-old dances competitively. She's at her studio a minimum of 14 hours each week, and she'd be there even more if she could. We're blessed to have amazing choreographers at her studio, and they regularly bring in other choreographers from out of town to teach master classes. Sometimes we're even lucky enough to have these guest instructors choreograph competition numbers. We got that opportunity this past weekend when my daughter spent about 12 hours learning a new dance she absolutely loves. I can't wait to see the finished product on stage!

Today I am grateful for weekends . . .
I'm a work-hard-play-hard kind of girl. I have no problem putting in long hours at work all week, put I try to avoid working weekends if at all possible. My soul needs those days to be all about family and personal time. So to steal a line from Rihanna, "Cheers to the freakin' weekend!"
