Day 18- Here
Day 19- The worse game ever...Niners lost to the Seahawks, which means that the Seahawks will be playing the Broncos in the Super Bowl. I'm a little salty about it, but whatever. I'll live. As my husband has been saying...there's always next year.
Day 20- My husband received free tickets to the Air Force vs. Wyoming Basketball game. We headed out and had so much fun! The game was pretty good, considering, but overall we had a great time. Such a fun way breaking up the week and getting in a free date night!
Day 21- The sweetest moment of the month goes to my client "flower." I've met Flower about 3 times, which really isnt enough to make an impression, so I thought. Well, when I walked in to the donut and coffee social that she attends, I saw this little lady waiving frantically and jumping up and down in her seat. The look on her face was absolutely priceless. She was so elated to see me. Her smile, her hug, her frantic attempt to get my attentions...all enough to bling out my day.
Day 22- I wanted a donut So Bad. Just a glazed donut. Just one donut! Ugh! The craving is real and I know that the donut will go straight to my belly..or ass...or both, but still. I just want a donut. So instead, I ate a salad. Wamp, wamp. But my salad was pretty...greens, reds, whites, yellows, oranges...and my husband made it, so...
Day 23- Let's face it, my clients are the Shiznit! Period. During one of my meetings, my client "Maw" was a riot. I mean, seriously. I could barely get through the meeting. I cried no less than 5 times from all of the hilarious things that she said. My job can be emotionally draining, but right when I think that I can't handle another moment of emotional sadness, a client like "Maw" enters my life right on queue. It's just glorious. And I am so thankful that I have the heart to work with my clients. I mean, even though my client couldn't tell you what to do in case of an emergency, she can tell you 100 of uses for an onion...no joke. There's a lot. And she will tell you every single one. 911...not so much.
Day 24- I'll be honest, I have a love hate relationship with the snow. I mean, it is gorgeous! Its like fluffy, glittery pillows of marshmallow angel dust. Its like the heavens are gracing us with fairy dust...cold, frozen, fairy dust. Which brings me to the hate. It is freaking cold, wet and just makes walking a hazard. It is not made for people who are still learning to walk. Don't judge. I am clumsy...I'm still learning the basics of standing on two feet. So, back to the pretty of the day...it was relaxing. I watched the grounds turn white as I snuggled up in some blankets. Then my hubs and I rented The Butler and Fast and Furious 6000. The Butler was amazing and definitely worth the hype. Fast and Furious was meh. Not bad, but predictable. The eye candy totally made up for it.
Day 25- I love to cook. I really, really, really love to cook. It is so therapeutic. The best part about it is that my husband also loves to cook! He is learning how to pair flavors and create a balanced meal. I'll give credit to Chopped, because it has really helped him embrace food, favors, textures and colors. Anywho, we decided that we would prepare our meals for the week...breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Ambitious? Yep! Great way to bound? Absolutely! It was so fun chopping, shredding, grilling, sautéing and tasting! Plus, it gave us more time to have our morning coffee!
Day 26- Church, Church, Church! I'll admit, I took a long break from church and I've noticed such a huge change in myself...and it hasn't been for the better. Before my spouse and I headed out, we stopped off at Dutch Bros for a little morning coffee. *swoon* There is something so delicious about a warm cup of coffee that is perfectly brewed and handed to you right when you pull up. Seriously, I go to this drive up so much that my coffee is ready when I pull up to the window. No shame. I am that special. It's like the non alcoholic version of Cheers...everybody knows my name. Thanks, Ryan, for my medium Americano with salted caramel and cream. Yum!
Church was so beautiful. It felt so warm and loving to be back at home. My heart was warm and so ready to feel and hear The Word.
Day 27 - I read a quote this morning that said "See the light in others and treat them as if that is all you see." What a beautiful and powerful way to start my Monday. I've had the deepest honor of working with people who have such a beautiful light. These are people that others may see as imperfect, disfigured, mentally challenged, or just plan old subhuman. The words hurt to write and they may hurt to read. Those words are not mine, but they are the words that I've heard when used to describe the people that Ive chosen to surround my heart with. I love them because they are beautiful. I love them because they have more love to offer. I love them because they are worth all of my love and more. I bask in their light and it truly makes my life whole. I challenge you to see the light in others. And I challenge you to treat them as though that is all you see.
Day 28- I always say that I can handle a stressful job, but I can't work in a stressful environment. Which is why I am so blessed to have a job that allows and encourages a positive work environment. So much so that they set up a whole day dedicated to pampering their employees. I am talking massages, yoga and medication classes, spa prizes, chocolate, food and good old positive energy. It was so nice and much appreciated!
