Morning Chatter This Monday!

Morning Chatter: This Monday!

At this point in life, I do not know the hour, minutes, or seconds of the day. Ha, I would like

to blame my memory lapse on age, but this time, I can't blame my brain for anything. So, since I am having my coffee from the comfort of my tiny home. I thought it would be groovy to jump on the blog and share some morning chatter. Although it is quite apparent, it is a wee bit after 4pm at the time of writing. 
But hey, it's my day off; therefore, I will do whatever I want that is within reason.
Let's jump into today's shennigans, shall we?

To be honest, I am using today to handle a lot of important business. #paybills 

And later on today, I will be creating new bags for Funky Grunge Boutique updates coming later today. But that will be much, much later.

So, I thought it would be cool to jump on the blog and share some morning chatter this morning. 

First, I realized I needed to amp up my to-do list and quickly. At this point in time, I would hope the world realizes things are going to be different on so many levels. I can feel it in the atmosphere. 

As much as I would have loved to sleep late and do nothing. The clock is ticking, and I really need to buckle down on making plans that will help my house run a little smoother for this summer.
First, we bought all her school graduation stuff, and then we made room for another computer to be placed on her desk for summer reading

I spent most of my Morning turning in last-minute things for Moriah, who has now graduated 8th grade. Thank God she is my last to graze through high school this upcoming August.

 I think it just hit me like a ton of bricks that my children have entered into their own levels of life, and I can finally let go and live my own life. :( #itsok

 Then, I have spent the last three weeks getting things prepared for her middle school graduation. 

Today is actually the first day I can sit down and breathe for a moment.
So, I am pulling out my notebook and making a list of everything that needs to get done. Side Note: I will not be adding anything that involves children, family, or friends after 3pm today. This year is going to be hectic, and I need to make time for myself.
I know that may sound selfish, but it is not. The year 2026 is moving so quickly; most of us don't even have time to enjoy life's little moments.
So, I have been practicing for the next steps in my life. At the end of the day, when I leave work, I help with school work, shower, cook, and eat. And before I know it, the following day will be on repeat. Oh, girl, that's not living.

WOW! And just like that, life will slip on by. On Sunday, I went to Target and grabbed two tablets and another notebook for all my new saucy ideas.
First: I made three short-term goals and 1 long term goal for the remainder of 2026. 

Here's a sneak peek:)
#1 What do I want to accomplish before my birthday this August? I put one big idea in my short-term goals. 
#2 I made up a mantra of no Procrasting. GET UP AND GET IT DONE!
#3 Come up with some new ideas and content—nothing on repeat or boring. 
#: Create something that will further my skills and open my mind to new things.
#5 Leave random things alone if it doesn't make money, it has to be put to the side
In conclusion, As I am getting older, I am finally learning to do what is necessary and what brings me happiness. I have spent a lot of time being mommy, wifey, and what others needed. Now I am on a mission to do what I need. I hope that doesn't sound selfish because I encourage you, as the reader, to do the same.
Go ahead and be your own cheerleader: Write that book, start that blog, bungee from a plane. By all means, run a marathon, join social media, start that business, join a new church, get new friends, buy those goofy-looking shoes, just go all out and be wild. Start living in the moment, and just do something for you. I know we've all been taught to put others first, but I say that rule for one day. And do something just for you. When it's all said and done, we all have one life to live, and it has to account for something other than feeling unfulfilled. Yep,2020 has taught me a lot about standing still and starting over after the storm. And I can honestly say I feel good about the things I am doing this year. Although we are in August, there is still time to finish strong this year. So, do not wait for someone else to root for you. 
There you have it, my Morning Babbles smack dab in the middle of the evening.
Tell me one thing you love doing that brings you the most joy? It doesn't have to be anything that is big and over the top. Life is made up of small little moments that complete each one of us.
I love chatting with you guys (the readers); it's rewarding and genuinely fulfilling.  I know my writing style is not for everyone, but it doesn't matter. Because I am happy doing and being me, and that makes me successful on 9,000 levels. :)

Lastly, let this be the year YOU end doing YOU! I am rooting for YOU! 
Until Next Time, Here's to enjoying life beyond existing!
