Photo Challenge Day 23

Balto is just hanging out in Scott's office.

I went over to visit my Mom and Dad but they were pulling out of the driveway to go out to eat with Kevin and the kids.


Scott is working.  He works from home and usually starts his day very late and works until the wee hours of the next day.  This is not because he has to; it is by choice.  

I really need to be cleaning my house because my family is coming over Sunday for Father's Day.  I just can't seem to get off of my couch.  So I'll continue to procrastinate...

I absolutely love Marc and Angel Chernoff.  If you don't know anything about them, check out their website here.  Earlier, I was procrastinating reading an article tonight by Angel on Nosidebar.com and I found these 3 items that really spoke to me.  

"Happiness is letting go of what you assume your life is supposed to be like right now, and sincerely appreciating it for everything it is. So, RELAX. You are enough. You have enough. You do enough. Inhale, exhale… let go, and just live right now in the moment."

I'm going to work on that.  When dealing with illness in the family I've learned how important it is to live in the moment.  I just can't seem to do it.   Here's another quote from Angel about living in the moment.  

"Be here. Just right here. No matter what, you can always fight the battles of just today. It’s only when you add the infinite battles of yesterday and tomorrow that life gets overly complicated."

Truth.  And finally, I need to have this one tattooed on my arm:

"Most of the time the problem is not the problem—the problem is the incredible amount of over-thinking and over-analyzing you’re doing with the problem. Pause, and breathe, again."

As someone diagnosed many years ago with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, I really know how to over-think and over-analyze with the best of them.  It is a way of trying to be prepared for every possible situation so that you are always "in control".   LOL - I 100% realize how ludicrous that is but, somehow I can't seem to shut it off.  

Sometimes I wish I were my dog.
