Art Show

Good morning. 

It was a mixed bag yesterday. I don't want to go into everything, but the cancel jinx struck again with the usual suspect -- college football this time. I also found out there was another reason for the cancelation for early in the week. That got my panties in a bunch and a bit of regret is sneaking in for the trip later this month. Best to put some space between this past week and the trip. I thought the cancelations were improving, but not this week. 

I'm trying to focus on the good things instead, but it's not going great. My mind loves a dramatic rumination and a soapbox.

Kids and I had a good time at my aunt's art show and lunch after. They're coming over for football this afternoon too. 

I bought some nice art work from the show -- my aunt is really talented. I also got a little retail therapy after lunch at Marshalls. Dog toys for Christmas and a few things for the grand baby. 

I'm up early, but sort of a fake early with the time change. Hike this morning and I regret it now and will love it later -- typical pattern. The hike will help clear the mind yuck too.

The week ahead is all over the place. A couple of quiet days, a couple of full days and a weekend stuck at home with an old dog (babysitting grand dogs again). It's also our anniversary. We're planning to celebrate with a long hike in the mountains. 

Oh, and the most important election of my lifetime. No wonder everything feels so dang hard. 

I'm going to look for more ways to "live this now" today. I didn't do very well yesterday lol but I'm continuing to try because it feels good in this new version.

Happy Sunday. Happy extra hour. Later gators.
