Five nights out -- in a row.

Evening hike

Seed planting class

Journal making class

Dinner at the kids' house

I'm kind of happy about it AND happy that I have NO evening plans until our trip to Puerto Rico. I have 2 morning hikes and a nail appointment -- all fun, all early.

You'd think I randomly climbed Mount Everest, but I haven't done this in a long time so it feels big to me. Being home and going out. Saying 'yes' to things I wanted to do even though they all happened in one week. It's part of my focus for 2024. The discerning YES. 

When I'm interesting in something, but then see it's not super convenient (i.e. long drive, at night, social week, etc) I'll talk myself out of it. I don't want to do that. It's okay if I'm on the fence and then I see too many cons and decide not to do it. I'm talking about the things I really want to do and then change my mind when I see the details aren't "perfect" for my preferences.

I spent a couple of years leaning into acknowledging what I prefer and I swung a little too far. It started to feel like I had a list of things I won't do and I wanted to stop that before I got so rigid I wouldn't do much of anything.

Working on garden things today and first stage of packing (yep, I'm going to pack a little every day because beach travel packing is very stressful lol). 

P.S. We had the best time visiting the baby and a great dinner with our youngest and DIL-to-be. 

Have a good Saturday. Later gators.
