Checking in........

The summer is speeding by.....as it tends to do;-) I have some more "to do" stuff to tend to, and things to take care of.........I met with my contractor yesterday to figure out the layout of my kitchen cabinets, and look at a cabinet sample......the company I will be using, that is within my budget, doesn't have the darker cabinet color I had envisioned.....I want to do dark gray.....but the gray he showed me is a nice one.....I can envision it in my kitchen and it will work fine.....and look beautiful....I am sure of that.....there was another color that I liked much better, I went into the store to look....it was another company and they did a quote and it is $7,000 more.....so it is out of the question lol:) And so I will adjust my sails and make it work. Accepting what is.......and it all made me think about the things I cannot change....there are a lot of things at the moment pulling at me like that. And it is in the acceptance of how it is, where peace is found, every single time....and in trusting that the way will appear.....the kitchen got me thinking of that again yesterday.....having its completion, and the way to that hidden and seemingly impossible for so long.....and then I made a move....an act of faith toward it.....and the way began to appear....and gosh I love that....so it reminds me that that applies to so much of what is pulling at me....knowing the way will present itself....and I just need to show up, and make moves.....So I am planning some more intentional play dates with the people we love, and with friends and family.....and planning some fun day trips.....this heat has really been oppressive.....struggling to find my hiking mojo amid it.....hot woods are my least favorite variety lol:) But I don't want the summer to pass us by without getting out there as much as we can....Gabe has summer school this week in the mornings.....and I am still working on my home stuff too alongside the rest.....my fitness goals are on point.....working on stretching myself and my limits....because if it doesn't challenge you it doesn't change you......that is true! SO that is where I am placing my focus....on my goals for summer bit by bit.......and I guess I needed to unravel some of this this morning here in my blog.....because I feel a lot going on my life in lots of areas, and was feeling slightly overwhelmed this morning when I woke up....and working on finding my center again.....writing this, meditating, and a good workout this morning should do the trick! :) Enjoy the day!
