Lately, I’ve been enjoying Cream of Wheat with maple syrup for breakfast.
Lately, I’ve been putting down my phone and picking up my book more.
Lately, I’ve been giving myself permission to not get it all done and to not have to do it all right this second.
Lately, I’ve been taking more time for myself.
Lately, I’ve been dreaming of bright flowers and warm days and tomatoes and feta.
Lately, I’ve been reading nostalgic happy stories.
Lately, I’ve been listening with all my attention.
Lately, I’ve been drinking my first coffee of the day and really savoring it rather than multitasking.
Lately, I’ve been doing morning stretches with Wyatt.
Lately, I’ve been not worrying as much about checking things off the to-do list.
Lately, I’ve been taking walks.
Lately, I’ve been listening to things that uplift me.
Lately, I’ve been loving the color pink.

Fabulous cat photo! Exquisite!
Lately I have been proofing my book, trying to get the basement back together and dealing with a plugged ear. Not exciting, is it?

That is a fantastic thought. 🙂 I hope you are able to do that soon!
And thank you. That is Miso. I got her from the animal shelter when she was 6 months old. 🙂

Lately, I’ve started writing book reviews. I’d gotten way behind in writing posts.
Lately, I’m sleeping in a little later.
lately, I’m trying to give myself some grace and not be so hard on myself.
Lately, I’m thinking 60 is not too bad. I kind of like it.
I used to not like pink. My mother loved pink. A couple of years ago I began to notice the color pink looks lovely and soft.

Love this list. I’ve been doing quite a few of these things as well, especially:

Thanks Lisa!! I am so glad that you are doing those things too. I think we were both trying to do too much all at once and we needed to stop for a second and regroup!

Oh I love this. I need to get better about putting my phone down and putting a book up. Cream of Wheat is my ultimate comfort food and is always what I want if I’m sick. I bet it’s amazing with maple syrup!
