Bad day? make a wreath.


This week I hit a funk that I have not been in, in a long long time. Was in a horrible mood, had a horrible attitude. My 3 year old was not being cooperative (AT ALL). my husband was working his brains out & I felt like I had not talked to an adult in days. For the past month I have been on a quest to get really healthy, eating clean, diligently working out like a mad woman, in between eating rabbit food & working out I managed to gain 5 lbs. (I know I know muscle weighs more than fat... I still don't like to see that # on the scale increase when I am working my boo-tay off!) Let's just say the world would have been a better place had I stayed in bed! I was on a pitty party from Pitty-ville! But one thing is certain I LOVE fall, there is just something about it. it is like watching God create new beauty everyday. I love the smells the colors, fresh air, it reminds me of falling in love, getting engaged, a beautiful time in my life... so I stopped everything that was going on that day. I threw the kid in the car picked up a couple supplies, came home & put her down for a nap & sat down and made a new fall wreath for my door. I know might sound crazy, but it worked! In a matter of minutes I was able to stop & think about how incredibly blessed I am. It gave me time to slow down & just be me. Nothing makes me happier than creating things- my artsy fartsy mind at work ;) So for $5 I made a new wreath that I really do love & I got to enjoy the rest of my day!
