Ya'll Meet Miles

We lost Sally this past Summer (When I Met Her, She Wasn't My Favorite) when she died suddenly. For awhile now, Hubby has been looking for a young pup to train as a hunting dog. We found him. Although I wasn't fond of getting a Mountain Cur, I did find out that they get larger than our other dogs. They require a lot of exercise, and I'm thinking in addition to a hunting dog, I may also have a future running partner.

I named him... wait for it.. wait for it...
Miles.

I thought the name fit him. (Especially since we drove over 500 miles one way to go get him)

He's adjusting to his new home, and we are adjusting to puppy life. (Basically at this point no one is sleeping and there is a lot of pee and poop everywhere!)

But we are excited to have him in our life, and I know we'll have many adventures together.

Those of you who run with a dog, give me some tips. I am definitely clueless. But I look forward to sharing some miles with Miles.

Running My Life

Wow, has it really been 2 years since my last post? I suppose that I allowed life to get in the way. For any faithful blog readers, I apologize. Although, I'm not sure how many people actually read blogs anymore. I think most people use other social media platforms.  (By the way, drop by and say hi on Insta. )  But for some reason, each year when I pay for my google domain, I can't seem to let it go. As silly as it sounds, this little space is mine. And lately I've been struggling with ownership and acceptance. And my domain renewal was a not so gentle reminder that I have a voice .  Seriously, you'd think by 48 that I'd have this figured out - nope - apparently not. However, I am wise enough to know that we have a choice to allow situations to harms us or make us stronger. I'm choosing to let this mid-life quandary make me stronger. And because of this, I'm setting goals, taking charge, and reexamining priorities.  Movin' on... 

Self Care Is Not Selfish It's Necessary

It's not selfish to take care of yourself. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. And I'll say it just one more time in case you didn't hear me. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. I have found through experience that when I'm not taking care of myself, not only do I suffer but my family suffers. So ditch the mom guilt and take the time that you need! I have a tendency to keep pushing my needs aside until I reach a breaking point. We've had a very busy fun summer so far. However, I've struggled to get some quality ' me ' time to decompress. I'll spare you the meltdown that ensued. But the reality check that followed prompted me to take action.

When The Planner In You Must Be Flexible

In case you haven’t figured this out by now, I’m a planner. I know - shocker right?!? :) So although I love substitute teaching, it’s making the planner in me anxious. And it’s been reeking havoc on my workouts. Basically the morning of or maybe the night before, I find out if I’m working. So my day ( that I thought I had planned ) can be turned upside down in an instant. But, truthfully, isn’t that really the same with everyone?
