Big Exhale!

Moon in our back yard!

That started the day.  Woke up from an anxiety inducing dream, with both heart rate and blood pressure racing, almost hyperventilating.  When I realized it was a dream, and not reality, at least my brain was quick to calm down.  Other things calmed, too, reasonably quick.  Large scale anxiety has been something I have been dealing with, for a few years now and a main reason I started this blog.  Not only did I need the medication for my brain and exercise to work off the fight or flight gitters, I needed something tangible, to visibly see the good, the beauty, the joy in life.

Neglecting various aspects, has not been good for me.  Bare with me, as I work to get back into a healthy routine.

The quick, thankful updates:

• All high-school year is going well so far.  Oldest is a senior while youngest is a freshman.
• Made it through the purchase of a new car without to much stress (finances are a trigger for me).
• Made it through the busiest summer yet!
• Son recieved accomodations for ACT's, the first time around.
• Working on getting caught up on my sky scarf.  Earlier this month, tore it almost completely out because the side I carry up the extra yarn looked horrible.  I am now back into July.
• Boys are learning life skills around the house.  Will miss this terribly when they are gone!
• Solar Eclipse, the other day was cool.  Even got to borrow glasses from neighbors.

There is way more I could type about, but this is all I can think of easily.  Will be back, hopefully on my computer, to update the layout and other thinfs around here.

For now, hope your day is joyful!
