volver

Annnd we're back. The trip to Tulum was wonderful. I've posted pictures on facebook, but a long post will have to wait till tomorrow. I'm tired.

Let's just say that I think I will have a hard time topping this view for the next several months,

but Spring is here. And everything is beautiful and light and happy in the springtime!

Cleanse

I have felt really blah for the past few weeks. I think it amounts to not enough exercise, bad food, and the "end-of-winter slump". So I am doing a self-prescribed "detox" for the next week. I'll be exercising, getting GOOD sleep, eating very little, but eating well and meditating on how I've been doing things, in general.

I think a revolution is in the wings.

My sister-in-law recently introduced me on to this blog:

http://www.progressivepioneer.com/progressive-pioneer/

A lot of her blog is about motherhood, and while I'm not there yet, she also has lots of great insight into good, simple living.

I need a change and I really like some of Progressive Pioneer's ideas.

I think I'm going to start with this:

Progressive Pioneer's loose recipe for granola.

Yum!

I've been skipping breakfast lately in the interest of time, which I know is a big no-no. So I saw her simple recipe for granola and instantly understood that with something as simple as this, I would have no excuse not to eat in the morning.

A new perspective on breakfast is just the beginning. I hope to change the way I sleep, eat, spend my free time, think, love, work, etc.

Here's to change!

Ready

Wow. Yet again I've gone more than a month between posts. I promised myself that I would try to post at least once a week. I'm no good at keeping a journal, so I thought doing a weekly blog post seemed like an attainable goal. I guess I was wrong. I really have no valid excuses. Lately, I have just felt an aversion to staring at the computer screen after work. Yet I will stare at the tv screen. Hmm. It really makes no sense, but oh well. Moving on . . .

Not much going on in Atlanta.

I'm working.

David's schooling.

We're both ready for warmer weather.

See, I tell myself that once it becomes a little warmer, THEN I'll feel motivated to go running. Maybe it's true. I like to believe that it is.

One thing that IS happening is a much needed Spring break trip . . . to Mexico!

We're headed to Tulum, Mexico very soon.

I am so ready.

I will be donning this,

with a chambray tunic something like this,

these sandals,

a bikini, lots of sun block and a smile.

I can't wait.

We're staying in a cabana on the water with no electricity.

Just a hammock to swing in all day and candles to read by at night.

We're renting a car - we want to see all of the temples in the area, and maybe even drive down to Belize.

Till the trip, I'll be planning, shopping and jumping up and down.

Lots of pictures will follow, I can feel it!
