Happy Saturday, friends! I'm glad you're here to link up with me today for Share 4 Somethings, when we talk about some things we loved, some things we learned, some things that went well, and some things we let go of this month. I'll jump right in!
Some things I loved this month are pictured below.
And starting (and ending) the month at a play at The Orpheum!
Some things I learned are listed below:
- early Christmas decor makes me happier this year than ever
- I'm not dreading the holidays this year
- time really does heal everything
- I was able to find love again in these middle years
- relationships are hard, wonderful though they may be
- breaks are nice from work, but I miss the kids and my co-workers after just a few days of being off
Something that went well this month was my weekend trip to see Noah by myself. I loved the drive time that I had alone, and I really loved staying in my hotel room alone for the first time ever in my life. I'd love to do this again!
Something I let go of is caring what someone thinks of me. I know who I am, my friends and family know who I am, and the negative things that someone thinks or says about me are simply not true. I don't have to defend myself, I don't have to justify myself, I can just simply let that negativity go and not care about getting in the last word. My newest favorite reply for a text message is simple: "okay". Welcome to the we no longer care club; have you seen those videos on social media? They pertain to menopause for us middle aged women, but honestly, I'm using that mentality for a lot more in life.
I can't wait to read your posts! Sorry this was so late, it completely slipped my mind this week. I'll see you back here Monday, friends. Love to all!
Glad you've entered the "we do not care club" phase of your journey! :) I love those videos too. Good for you in enjoying your life again. Looks like you had a fun month being with people who love you and whom you love.
