a few favorite things

I have come to realize that I love to live my life in a routine of the same activities. Such as listening to the same type of music over and over, eating the same things for lunch and breakfast over and over, wearing the same clothes week after week. I think that all these things are normal, and I kinda like it that way. Here are are few of my current favorite items that help me make it through each day!

  1. Pandora- The first thing I do when I sit down at my desk in my office is turn on Pandora, usually Chris Cagle or Jason Aldean. I do like to mix it up with a little matchbox 20 or Maroon 5 here and there for some spice.
  2. Dunkin Donuts Cinnamon Spice coffee-- this is my favorite to drink after getting done running outside in the mornings. However; i am only a cold weather coffee drinker. When summer hits- I'm done and over that stuff.
  3. Nike running shorts-- Wear them every morning to work out. And every night to train clients at the gym. I would be lost without these things!
  4. Almond slivers-- I put these things in oatmeal and yogurt. LOVE them.. or I eat them out of the freezer by thereselves. They are kind of expensive- but so worth it.
  5. Exercise--I am addicted. there I said it. Whether its running or attending bootcamp, one of the two happen nearly everyday.

Pinterest

I was first introduced to pinterest a couple of months ago. I went on a craze over it for about 2-3 weeks. Now my craze is over. I do like to get on there for a good laugh at some stuff and also words/quotes of encouragement.

One pin that has really stuck with me was  "What screws us up most in life is the picture in our head of how its supposed to be."

hmm.. yea. Don't we all want to have the fairytale lifestyle we had imagined in our heads in elementary school! Green grass, birds chirping, sunny skies, homeade apple pie awaiting us, trustworthy friendships, consistant healthy weight, loving spouse, well-behaved children, rewarding career, giant house, swimming pool & water slide, debt-free, and money growing on trees!!!

*see how i started out with the most uncontrolled by us happiness & then went to the deeper more serious matters? I guess this is how I see the stair step life of mine going. hmmm. weird.

Anyway- not sure where I am really going with this, but the things at the beginning are the one's I need to learn to appreciate the most. The small things. And then the bigger things are going to fall into place when they are supposed to. Which leads me to one more quote, from pinterest!

"when everything seems like its falling apart thats when God is putting things together just they way he wants it."
