NOTHINGđź’™

Nothing. Nothing can be a great thing.

In a world where even the hardest working widows and widowers struggle to make ends meet and stay above ground, we feel pressured to do more. To be more.

Get a better looking body, eat that extra leaf of kale, shove down another self-help book, or frantically check off someone’s bucket list who is no longer here.

There’s a time for all that.

There’s also a time to take that list and put it in your desk drawer and close it. Let it sit. Let it go for the moment.

There’ll be time for that. Just not now.

Find your favorite place – backyard, a nearby park, even meandering around a grocery store, and just be.

No plans. No goals. Nothing.

Breathe in. Breathe out. Take a minute to take this life in. Right where you are.

Because right where you are, is right where you should be. đź’™

Welcome to the web’s millionth blog. I’m the world’s okay-est mom, I hate coffee, and I have a ton of kids that are kind of cute. Oh, I have no husband since he decided to permanently move upstairs. So that makes me a widow, too. Grab a glass of wine, and join me while we travel this most interesting life.
