I went to bed late late night with a migraine while trying to finish up a client project, and groggily woke up at 6:45 to get little Taylor off to school (the daughter of the family that I've been staying with since June). I was wishing my alarm clock would let me sleep a little longer. I went to bed the night before feeling defeated, worried, stressed, and plum sad, and all I really wanted to do today was stay in bed, despite the fact that my to-do list heavily disagrees with that sentiment.
But, up I got. I poured a cup of coffee, made breakfast and then headed out to walk Tay off to school. As soon as we stepped outside, I was glad that Diana had asked me to take Taylor this morning. The fresh air felt good, and the blue sky revived my spirits a bit.
I don't mean to be overly wordy with these posts lately, but the truth is, its hard to blog about cute products and pretty things when life is kicking you in the rear. That being said, I recognize that I am so fortunate in so many ways, and I am working to dwell more in that than in what I am lacking and have yet to resolve. I only wish I know how to make everything simple again.
Thank goodness for all of the people I have in my life who encourage me, push me forward, and bring me light and positivity. Thank you for all of your kind words.

Understand completely. Up until vacation last week I was staying up well into the early morning. Alarm clock goes off at 5:30 and with a little more than 4 hours of sleep I was at it again. I thought the first week back from vaca would be easy breezy. Uh, no one else got that memo! :) My schedule has been taken back to the sleepless nights, worrying, constantly thinking about my to-do list, and I would like to make it stop. Then again I have an online retail shop and the holiday season is coming soon so maybe in February or March I will be able to sleep. Let's hope anyway!

I'll take wordy over product links any day! Power through. You're doing great!
ReplyDeleteYou can do it!!!! I think older people sometimes forget how tough your twenties can be. I understand you exactly. You're allowed to vent (not complain) as, like you said, you still realize how fortunate you are. Keep up the good work and try to appreciate your struggle. It'll make your future successes so much sweeter!
ReplyDeleteI love the honesty Caitlyn! I think my posts have taken a similar turn lately... More personal and less "perfect"! I find it so refreshing to read another blog from a creative type that features not just the cuteness, but also the truth. Love.
