It's early Saturday morning.

Okay, it's not that early. It's nearly 8. My little munchkin had a wet spot on his PJs that woke me up around six. Oops! That would be my fault. Must have not tucked something in all the way on his cloth diaper. No matter. These things hardly stress me out anymore these days. =)

I'm letting Daddy sleep in. He had a busy day yesterday. Some nasty virus attacked me and I actually had to call him home from work. I'm glad it was short, because I could have not handled that bug for much longer. I took some colloidal silver to help knock it out. I'd been nursing a cold all week and this just topped it off. I cataloged my cold remedies on instagram - a nice distraction when you're not feeling well.

Lemons are so pretty.

Right now it's foggy outside. Misty. There is the slightest drizzle that you wouldn't notice, unless you stop and look closer. Texas winters. Our last one here, I think. We still don't know where we are moving to, or when, but it could happen fast. I'm excited, and at peace.

Did you know I turned 30 last week? Shoresy-did! I snuck it past my blog. No reason to make a big fuss, it's just a b-day.

I feel so much better now than I did a month ago. I have taken all expectations and pressures off myself. That is usually what causes my stress: expectations I put on myself. I think I have to do certain things or be a certain way, but in reality, I don't. I just have to be me, and be the best me I can be, through the grace of God, and without comparing to others.

I have a new mindset about blogging. (I realize it's not really new. It's just something I have to go back to every now and then, because it's so easy to forget.) I do like checking in here every now and then, but I no longer feel an obligation to fill you in on everything that is going on, everything I'm working on, and all the details of what I'm doing. I mostly like sharing my photos these days. Words are optional.

Another reason I'm so at peace is because I think I have found the cause of my migraines. I finally saw a chiropractor. The x-rays were not pretty. My neck is all sorts of jacked-up and I'll have to do exercises at home, in addition to the chiropractic adjustments. I am so excited about this. It's about time I fix my neck. It won't happen overnight, and the exercises are no fun, but I am hopeful that over time, I can be free of headaches. I can't even imagine how wonderful a life without migraines would be!

I just wanted to thank you for your prayers over the past year, and the ones you keep sending my way. I enjoy the blogging community so much and my only regret is that I will not ever be able to sit down and meet all of you in person.

Here are a few more of my favorite instagram pics from the last couple of weeks.

My mom sent me that cowl for my birthday. { l o v e }

Enjoy your weekend!
