Ahhhh..........

I needed this snow day in ways I did not even know I needed it lol:) And finding out I had one last night was a treat alongside my kids......I was hoping for that, and bravely facing the fact that we could be on different schedules, and it could complicate my life some.....but all went well and here we are, all cozied in, and lucky to have power........it was a BUSY and crazy week....I worked last night too, and did my coaching meeting with that amazing group I work with in the doctor's office.....and I love seeing them all......it is great to watch their progress from month to month, and their commitment.....and last night we tackled sleep! And the importance of it....and I got to deep dive some into it, and realize the habits I have gained along the way that have helped my sleep....and the things that work well for me.....and pass that along....I am an 8 hour of sleep person.....if I get less for too long I feel it deeply:) I always admire the 4 hour a night people.....but I am not one of those....and sometimes I have phases where I wake in the middle of the night, when my stress level climbs, and it feels good when I can recognize that, and combat it to get back into my circadian rhythm......our bodies release hormones at certain times of the day to facilitate our sleep cycle regardless of how well and long we sleep.... and working with those times well works best, and there are so many health issues that come from not sleeping enough or well......so it is an important thing to examine for sure.....so that will be the focus this month.....and I look forward to exploring that with everybody and seeing if there can be any change......So last night was a lovely night, and I brought my kids with me......they are such troopers....truly.....they go with the flow and do whatever we need to make it through:) So today's snow day was timely.....I have a bunch of straightening up, and cleaning out I want to do.....more painting......and just organizing my life some.....also some medical bill phone calls to make.....Next week I have parent teacher conferences Monday and Tuesday and then I am off! To spend time with my kids and my family, and a couple of days away in love, and I am looking forward to it all:) So far there isn't a lot of snow in my driveway either! A dusting there, and I am hopeful that remains;-) a snow day without shoveling feels decadent indeed lol:) Enjoy the day! I hope wherever you are, you are warm and safe:)
