Getting in the Slow Lane

Getting back into routine is never an easy task but I survived the first week back to work after two weeks off.  It was a great week, {although I was beyond exhausted} I enjoyed seeing all my great co-workers and students.  It was the little things, or as I like to say Sprinkles of Love, that got me through the week.  Sometimes I think we get caught up in the hustle-n-bustle of life and always wanting bigger and better things that we forget to slow down and appreciate what we have in front of us.


Naps were my life saver this week.  I think I had one everyday after work and although I feel guilty because there is always something that I could have been doing the naps were relaxing and obviously what I needed so I just embraced it. This is how I felt all week...haha

I made time everyday to spend time with my new devotional book and it is amazing how taking {quiet} time away from technology and just for yourself can make a difference in your mood and your future days. The tub is a great place to let your worries melt away and when you are in there you can't see everything else that "needs" to be done.

On Friday, I got news that I would be getting a raise and it would be reflected in my next check! This not only made my Friday brighter it gave me hope and once again showed me that prayers are answered.  I am thankful for small miracles. 

60 degrees. January. Indiana.  Who would have thought?! Although...you never know in Indiana, but this was the case on Saturday.  I keep saying my fellow Hoosiers and myself are special people because we can go from one extreme to the next and not think twice about it.  When little such things brighten my days though I take full advantage!

Have you looked around and appreciated the Sprinkles of Love in your life lately?
