Hmm... that's something I've been saying a lot lately. My fault. In this instance it's because I've not kept my promise to blog every day. It's been too busy. But I miss it so - and I hate that I haven't done it. Almost as much as I hate the fact that I haven't gotten out all my thank you notes for my wedding 10 months ago. I need a drink.
Anyway, I'm writing today to talk about my favorite things. That will be the theme for this week if I can stick to it. But if you've stuck with me this far you'll know I may not deliver - but I'm trying. I'm trying to do more with my life all together - discipline is something at which I want to get better. I need to get better. I really will be trying. Send me some warm fuzzies.
So the topic for today - I guess the second topic for today is - favorite things. Today - I choose The Wailin' Jenny's. They are a folk group from Canada, 3 women, one man playing the fiddle. They are AMAZING. Amazing is an understatement. I had heard of them before, I think once on Prairie Home Companion and possibly at SXSW? Somewhere on a blog? Can't remember. At any rate, I hadn't really taken the time to listen until last weekend when I went to see them peform with my friend Angela. She took 3 of us to Tulsa to see them as a thank you for her birthday celebration. It was soooo nice of her - and so appreciated. And just this beautiful reminder of how precious time with friends, time alone, time with your spouse - can be. Music is very spiritual for me, for a lot of people. The key is to take those spiritual moments and focus them so that they refresh you, rejuvenate you - and give you strength for the mundane moments (like being disciplined). I'm learning this as my own lesson. It's something I need to be a better me. And I have incentive to try harder to be a better me, because I'm not the only one at stake now - it's me and my family, my husband. He means everything to me and I have to try harder for not just me, but us.
And that's what I learned from the Wailin' Jenny's this weekend. Crazy, huh?

Have a beautiful day friends - be hopeful, it's so much better than not being that way.
How often do you think a blog should be updated?
