I became entirely too myopic in my perspective, only focusing on work....all work and no play, and all that. So I made a list, much like this one (although not ten things) of things I had let go of doing last year to remind myself to do every day. I couldn't believe it when I realized that I had stopped listening to music, stopped dancing, stopped going outside to get out under the sky. So things I do to keep me out of the funk:<br />1.Pray/worship<br />2. Sing/listen to music<br />3. Exercise/Dance!<br />4. Sky Gaze<br />5. Get plenty of sleep!<br /><br />Here's to a happy 2014!<br /><br />http://hammockinthehoneysuckle.blogspot.com/2014/01/10.htmlCLRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01207164054349835246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6608603827137841718.post-23589480683853145412014-01-13T23:11:53.224-08:002014-01-13T23:11:53.224-08:00I am SO with you on the dance party.

Beating the cap out of something is good too. If I have some kid free time, curling up with a yummy Starbucks latte and some fun chick lit works wonders.

Buying something new, I know totally flaky but does the trick every time (clearly not free:).<br /> I feel like we haven't chatted in ages. Hope you are enjoying the beginning of 2014. We should try for Sunday brunch soon.

(um you know ...))... <br />Dance parties are pretty awesome! Theo got Mark and I doing what amounted to some kind of advanced, customized zumba class that had us sweating our a*ses off one night. Hilarious.<br />If I'm sans enfants, lieing on the floor for ten minutes and staring at the ceiling (yes reallly) or a walk outside always helps. I also love (oddly) making soup. I used to watch Doc Martin for a mood-lift but managed to blast through all ... 6 seasons! harriet glynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17223388139583386938noreply@blogger.com
