This is a list. But it's not numbered. And it's not in any order. That's kind of one of my newfound keys to happiness.
When my kids are awake, I choose to be 100% there for them (although this doesn't always work out perfectly). Consequently, I don't get a lot of homework done.
When I get tired, I go to sleep. Consequently, I don't get a lot of homework done.
I don't really care about homework...that much.
I am reminding myself to drink more water.
The sun is out more often than it is behind the clouds.
I'm reminded that God loves me deeply.
Whenever I ask my patients, "What are you doing to take care of yourself?" (and I often do) I ask myself the same question.
Chin & I are in counseling together. We've gone twice. It has been good.
I'm more intentional about cultivating my friendship with Chin. I'm seeing the importance of going to bed together consistently. Don't laugh. It's not that easy.
Sometimes I clean the house even before Chin tells me to. A clean house makes me sublimely happy. That Chin Ng, he's really onto something!
Whenever I can, I take a shower.
I'm also bathing my children more often. Turns out once a week was a bit too infrequent. And bath time brings them so much joy.
I involve my kids in all the little things that I do. Like washing the dishes or cooking with Camille. Marcus just kinda watches us. That's okay.
I deleted some friends and don't read everything on my Facebook feed. Haha! No, no, I still do. I read everything.
We are trying to protect our margins. An event-free weekend can still turn out to be full of fun.
I buy low-effort meals from Trader Joe's and Costco.
I'm volunteering more.
Watching old episodes of Arrested Development with Chin.
I am trying to multitask less.
I'm okay that we still have Christmas decorations up in the living room.
Chin. I like him a lot.
I'm trying my best to return library material on time.
We're going on a cruise in less than 2 weeks.
