So gratitude month was my absolute favorite.  I’m not sure anything will stack up to it, but we’ll see…

Here’s how it ended:
18: Book club
19: meeting new POP people
20: pastors hanging out
21: massages, always massages
22: alone at the office
23: random seeing bestie
24: naps
25: an extra day off!
26: new home blessings
27: pre-k rodeo
28: L’s teachers and so much love
29: co-workers who like each other, also, cake.
30: new babies!
31: being beloved. in so many ways.

I really can’t think of a better way to end my gratitude month than with my ordination, where I felt overwhelmed and grateful all darn day long.  Whew!  It was an amazing day to cap off an amazing month!

Now it’s a new month, and I have been in “rest/sleep” month for about a week.
This month also happens to be #empower30 in my online yoga community (a thirty day power yoga journey), and I have to say these are either the two worst or two best things to go together.
In this sleep month, I’m basically aiming for 8 hours of sleep a night.  I’ve done ok – but I’ve also had some caffeine a bit more lately, and that’s affecting the go to sleep time.  BUT I’m doing ok. I’ve gotten 8 hours every day and I even got more than 8 hours over the weekend, because we were kid free and that helped (a lot).
Last night, not so good, but I’m up with 7 hours of sleep in me, and doing ok.  I can definitely tell though – so I’ll work hard to get back in the right rhythm tonight.

Join me this month!  Take it easy – say no to things that drain you, and get to bed at a decent hour!  It’s amazing what the right amount of sleep can do for your mood, health, and energy.  I like it.
