My mental sticky notes: my favorite inspirational quotes

you may laugh, I know I used to...but a good inspirational quote can work wonders for keeping that annoying bummed feeling into a full blown bad day. we create and attract the energy that we're putting out. when we try to be positive, motivated, and energetic, we simply are more positive, motivated, and energetic. that being said, I love motivational quotes, and I want to share with you some of my favs:

Why is it that we save our best selves for people outside our homes? Do the benefits outweigh the risk?

Hey, y'all, how's it going--nice to see you! have you ever come home from a long day at work and almost right away gotten irritated at your husband, your kids, or someone equally close--and snapped at them? Causing tension for the next hour at least? I'm sure you have, we all have. Let me ask you a question, though, did you snap at people all day at work? Or were you nice, polite, even cheerful (even if you feel like a hangry zombie because the dog got you up 3949590 times last night)? you were likely at work what I like to call 'your best self.'

Toss-back Tuesday - 90s Movies Edition: How Many Can You Remember?

Hey, y'all, nice to see you! I'm not a huge movie person anymore--I've got too much to do, not enough time to do it, and an extremely short attention span. Plus, to go TO the movies is such a chore, is super expensive, and I can't wear my jammies, pause it for a potty break, or TALK! The nostalgia of an old movie, however, makes it more interesting. Also, I just didn't have the same feelings on movies as I do now. So I watched them all! As I went through this list, not only did I know all the movies, I was reading them with the dialect in which it was spoken. I could hear the character saying the line in my head.  I bet, if you're old enough, you'll be the same way. Go for it, let's see! Have fun!

Ways to Stay Positive During Tough Times, and Always

In the heart of the worst time of my life, I found myself in strong need of a change toward positivity, if I wanted to survive--and actually enjoy my life (as much as possible). Some of you may not get even what that means, but if not--be grateful. Regardless, these aren't just things I looked up. If you ask anyone who knows me, at work for example, they'd tell you I'm a super/always positive person. They'd never know my battles. That's because I work at it. I'd like to share with you the tried and true methods I've been using to remain positive.

Wisteria Saturday Update: 4 Weeks

Hey, y'all, it's been a week! 📅 The seedling 🌱 is still here with us--whew. I was worried there for a minute. My husband's dramatics didn't help! He told me my seed was going to die! ☠️ To be fair, it still might--and he'll be just as much to blame as me! It’s so little it's almost embarrassing to photograph--but I did anyway!

Top Skills You Need to Be A Good Nurse

In the world of healthcare, there are many many options for jobs you can choose from. I may be biased, but by far, I think being a nurse is the best of all the options. it may not be the most glamorous or the most highly compensated, but it's a noble, proud, rewarding career. It's also quite humbling, at times. I couldn't imagine doing anything else, and it's been, ahem, twenty years in the field (including my years as a nurse's aide).

Advice I would've Given To My Younger Self, Had I Been Able

I'm betting we all have thought of a piece of advice, or two, that we wish we could've given our younger selves. I know I have plenty. I've lived an interesting life, though. I've learned a lot - through a lot of mistakes. if it were so easy as to be able to tell ourselves (and our children) the things we know now, life would be a lot easier. and probably a lot more boring, to be honest. we can still contemplate though - it's a fictional idea, anyway.

Our gnomes hang out with Nancy the gnome-bot (on every page of this site except merchandise)--so there's that. and maybe i'm wrong, maybe they weren't up late partying with the bot. maybe they just really wanted fully charged phones. annnnd rings?! For bedtime?!

It's a good thing i used the other bathroom when i first woke up. i always use our master bathroom (attached to our bedroom), but today i needed to start the coffee pot. my husband was dead to the world so it was my turn to set the pot--and from the kitchen the kids' bathroom was closer. thank. god.
