<\/a><\/p>\nSome weeks I\u00a0spend my time counting down the hours\u00a0until\u00a0the weekend.
\nFighting hard to keep my head above water, you know, anticipating the tap out.\u00a0<\/span>When it finally arrives, in the blink of an eye,\u00a0it’s over. Just as fast as it arrived.\u00a0<\/span>This mindset drives me bonkers\u00a0+ I get frustrated when I slump into it.\u00a0<\/span>BUT, it happens. Making the sweet times that much sweeter when it does.\u00a0<\/span>I don’t want\u00a0to read back in my journal 10 years from now\u00a0<\/span>page after page of “I can’t wait until Friday.”<\/span>NOW IS NOW. A simple review\u00a0of my mindset makes all the difference in the big picture.\u00a0<\/span>This week\/weekend was one of these. Jon is the best at picking up my slack.\u00a0He cooked breakfast with the boys + forced me to sleep in.\u00a0<\/span>We cancelled our plans for the weekend + WE STAYED HOME.\u00a0<\/span>Good for my heart, good for my mind + really\u00a0good for refueling my patience levels.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
