Keep on moving

My mind is constantly turning lately. So many thoughts, so many goals, so much realization. When I looked at this picture tonight I realized it represented life as it is right now: simple, wild, happy, supportive, a little rough around the edges, a little out of focus but perfect in it's own very imperfect way. The girls picked out these outfits today and although I wouldn't necessarily take them out of the house like this (actually, I probably would) I was really proud of their choices. I loved that they chose to match each other in these crazy cat shirts. We don't even really like cats but we love each other. I also like how their pants reflect their personalities. Sophia is very straight edged, follow the rules kind of girl where as Lucy is a little spacey and overly loving.

It's been one of those days where even though it wasn't smooth, there was more voices raised than I'd like, too many pinchy fingers and crying kids, I feel fulfilled in what we accomplished. We spent time together as a family. We got a couple more boxes packed. After much debate we decided on family picture outfits and took photos with the talented Rebecca Rizzo Photographics. I can't wait to see them. I have Costa Vida salad in my belly (my third time eating mexican this week) and Survivor started again tonight. We are one day closer to a move that will bring about great change but certainly great things. Although life remains out of focus in so many ways, we are getting to a more clear place. I like this direction and I'm going to keep on moving with it.

On a completely different note, I want to say something about goals. If you are feeling unmotivated or like you aren't accomplishing much, set a goal. Big or small, set a goal. Set a goal for something you can do every day. If you miss a day, keep going. Missing one day or 100 days, doesn't mean your goal is broken. Just keep going. It has felt good to be here writing again. I made a goal to spend half an hour simply writing before bed time and I feel like I've dusted out the attic making room for growth. Although there's probably only a handful of you out there still reading, I'm glad you're here. I'm glad to call you a friend. Happy Wednesday!
