I went to the chiropractor
again today, he said that he can feel the weight of all the stress in my
muscles. That’s so strange to me, the connection between mind and body. I would
have never thought that my stress would actually affect the muscles in my body,
now that I think about it I understand what being tense means. But I got to
sleep today so that was pleasant and things are coming into perspective again.
Like I’ve said, take your moment to be human but don’t let that be a constant
mindset, get up, dust off, and fight.
I have SUPER exciting
news! I’ve mentioned it on Facebook but I’d like to elaborate. Someone
mentioned to my Mom who mentioned to me that I should start a YouTube channel.
The idea seemed awesome but daunting at the same time, how the heck was I going
to handle making videos on top of everything else!? Then during my last Seattle
trip my sister brought up the idea and expressed interest in making the videos!
So together we have started a YouTube channel and boy you guys, it’s STELLAR. I
can only say that because my sister is extremely talented and the first video
was so perfect that it made me cry. I can’t wait to share it with you all so
stay tuned and expect it on SUNDAY!
I am currently sitting in
my spacious living room, the sunlight peeking through the curtains, my Mom and
Sister cuddled up in their rocking chairs, my Pops eating apple pie next to me,
and “The Scent of a Woman” playing on the big screen. I wanted to take a moment
to cherish this scene. You know I decided that I need to relish the moments
that I take for granted, and I need to take a moment to notice sweet scenes
like a family movie. This is peace, this is how I find rest. I used to think
that peace and rest only came in the form of sleeping, sitting, reading, or
anything quiet and serene. I’m understanding more now that peace can really be
found in any situation if you take the time to find it. I want to challenge you
and myself to take five seconds in each situation to look around and cherish
the moment. Whether it be a family movie, or your morning cup of coffee, maybe
it’s your work meeting, or a long doctor’s appointment, even that moment when
your twin boys are fighting and screaming. I think that if I can take 5 seconds
to be grateful and find peace in these moments then I think I can relieve a lot
of the stress and tension in my life! Let me take one more look at this moment.
I have peace knowing that the people on my left and right are my family, my
best friends, my biggest fans, my supporters, and my team. I have peace in
knowing that we all have a moment to watch a movie and sit in the calm. I have
peace knowing that we have this wonderful house that I have spent many days and
have had many memories in. I could go on and on but I challenged us to 5
seconds. But wow, I already appreciate this time and I already have a rest that
I have been seeking. Perspective my friends. All about perspective. Take 5 seconds right now to find peace in the moment!
I head to Seattle on Sunday, Monday at 5:30 a.m. I go in for surgery so prayers for safe travels and wisdom for the doctor's would be much appreciated! Love you all!
