Rain Rain...

HAPPY EARTH DAY!!!!!!!!

I always forget what day earth day is! well ITs TOdaY! :D Unfortately its crappy outside and rainy.. like it has been most of the week.. its making the grass green and the trees bloom though so i guess its alright.. just hope we dont have another year like last with all the flooding and craziness.

I've failed to be as green as i would like this year, riding my bike is diffcult cause i live in nevada and work in ames.. i need some more GREEN ideas.. not just for travel but i wanna hear what everyone does to reduce,reuse and recycle things!?!?! :D Please share!

I have been wanting to get my garden started this year but the weather has been so off that im afraid to plant stuff yet.. I wanna start a small garden of veggies and also have a flower garden. :) the joys of having a house to be able to do all these fun things.. landscaping and planting.

Simplicities

I've been really trying to enjoy the simplicity of life lately..

Sometimes we can get so overwhelmed and caught up in our everyday life that we forget to take time to just relax and breath... it really does feel GOOD! I'm the kind of person who gets stressed really easily and if i dont stop and relax for a moment or two during my day i will break down.

Things i do to relax: Sit outside on the porch(or in the hammock), let my mind wander, read a book, go for a run/ workout, write in my journal my thoughts for the day, have a cup of coffee, those are just a few things i do... it can be fun to just set time aside for yourself each day, life CAN be VEry overwhelming at times and we need the escape to refresh our souls!

Food is also a big factor in the way our day goes... the better foods you eat, the better you will feel throughout your day!

I'm so in love with life, i can't help but be excited to see what each day brings and to just try and enjoy every moment!!! :D
