Decisions, Decisions.
I know that Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow on Groundhog Day and we are supposed to have an even longer winter, but I can tell why some of the other groundhog’s didn’t make the same prediction.
Virginia Weather.
The weather here in Virginia has been very indecisive.
30’s one day with snow flurries and biting wind and then mid 70’s (that’s in Fahrenheit for you Celsius folk) a few days later.
This see-sawing weather pattern is even confusing the plants.
There are bits of green starting to sprout through the ground, seeking warmth and sunshine only to discover that it may or may not exist.
Are you having crazy weather in your part of the world?
Seeking sunshine.
I have been on a mission to seek sunshine when it peeks its face through the cloudy sky.
I am the needy, clingy friend when it comes to my friendship with Vitamin D.
The sun made a rare appearance this weekend.
The hubby and I took the middle son to a nearby skate park. We strolled around the surrounding urban park. It was a semi-warm day filled with sunshine. People were playing frisbee golf, walking dogs, pushing children on swings, and meandering along the paths.
All of us soaking in the rays because they might not be there the next day.
Blog Decisions.
During the colder moments of the weekend, I delved into finding a new theme for my blog.
And I learned that I have a lot to learn!
Apparently, all these pretty themes that I’ve been admiring on some blogs are for self-hosted WordPress blogs. And my choices are much more limited than what I originally thought. I recently upgraded from a free blog because I needed more space and wanted more flexibility.
It does make me wish I’d just started with what I wanted, but in the beginning, I didn’t even know if this blog would be taken public.
I do not think that I am prepared for self-hosting and all that it entails. I have found one premium theme that I am strongly considering, but given the fact that I still have so much to learn, I will be taking my time to increase my knowledge prior to committing.
What about you?
Do you self-host?
If so, do you find it to be manageable?
I just know there are so many hours in a day, and raising teens takes up a big chunk of that 🙂
Being present.
And then there’s finding time to get out and enjoy nature.
To spend time noticing those little moments of beauty.
To live a life of hygge.
To be present.
To slow down.
To just breathe.
Are you hoping for the full six weeks of winter or are you hoping for an early spring?
Those of you living where it’s already summer, I’m highly jealous!
Soak up some that sunshine for me.
Until spring fully arrives, I will continue to turn my face to the sun, like the little purple blossoms that are starting to pop up before turning my hillside into ivy.
Let your light shine!
