After church, we came home and ate lunch. Day 13 of Whole30 and I am not doing too good at this point. I've been struggling to get to sleep for the last week or so. Yesterday night (or this morning) I was up until around 4:30—ugh. I've read some articles and it seems normal when you're body is adjusting, but this didn't happen to me last time.
After eating lunch, I left T to play board games with the guys and I went to go see a movie. Moviepass has been such a blessing. I love it and hope it's here to stay. After my movie, I visited TJ Maxx and picked up a few things that made me happy. A quartz candle holder, a new little trash can with a lid for the main bathroom, a stationary box, and an acrylic organizer for my overflowing makeup. I'm so happy. Right now as I'm writing this I've put a tea light in the quartz candle holder and I love it. I'm just imagining taking a comfortable bath with my bath salts and candles going in the dark.
I also need to write here that my word of the year is JOY. It was my fortune when I visited L in Minneapolis and it was on an ornament gifted to me. I've struggled with joy since 2014. That's four years-ish of my life that I've been struggling. Why did I let that person do this me? How could it have changed me so much? I hate that it has, but I am going to work on being joyful and understanding what brings me joy and realizing that I already have joy, I just need to pay attention—all this year.
Hope you are having a joyful weekend and that we are all ready for the week ahead!
