Monday Moods

Today's "Monday Moods" will be written a little different than normal. I was challenged by a sweeter blogger, Amber, to include these moods in my post. :) I encourage you to try a "Monday Moods" with us and link up on Amber's blog!

Lately, I have been completely annoyed with my lazy lifestyle. I am annoyed that when my first alarm wakes me up at 7 in the early morning, I shut it off and sleep. I am annoyed that when the second and third alarms go off, I continue to sleep and ignore the calling to wake up and enjoy a couple relaxing hours before work, husband, and maybe a little bit of reality. I am annoyed that it is so easy to talk about exercising but when it comes to getting off my lazy butt to do it, I either don't finish it or don't do it all together. I am annoyed of laziness.


Normally when people describe me they would include the word: BOLD. Sometimes, I am not sure if this is a compliment or not? Sometimes, I don't want to be bold. I feel that I define boldness with being loud, maybe sometimes inappropriate (not thinking before speaking), being over opinionated, or just sticking out like a sore thumb. One definition of the word 'bold' doesn't seem to fit me: courage. Boldness and courage come hand and hand. I think that this year God is going to be teaching me more about the word 'bold.' And I have been thinking about being bold with my faith, in His Word, with  my life. I have seen myself be bold with so many things of this world: my words and my actions.... that totally contradict what I believe to be Truth. So, to this world of being 'bold'- I challenge you to take a new definition in my life. 


The other day my husband reminded me of my "crazylouddays"... also known as- obnoxious. It took me a long time to learn appropriate times for certain behaviors. It took me a long time to just relax and not hoard up so much of my burdens. It took me a long time to not hide all my feelings about some things in life because I was too scared to be honest about life. I hit behind those obnoxious moments. The louder I was the more "fun" I was.... which meant the less I would have to get in depth about life. It wasn't until I went to college where I realized that I like having a deep thought process. I liked to feel calm and not as if I had to be the "entertainment." Just recently have I seen a difference between now and then. I have seen my calming attitude about finances, BIG decisions, and frustrations rather than an over reaction that turns sour. I still struggle (of course- I am human). But I have seen how calmness has allowed more opportunities rather than hindrances.

I am drawn toward warm weather... rather then the rain. I dread the rain. Every drop. Every cloud. Every day that it rains I am more drawn to the warm weather. I miss the warm weather- the sun, the warm breeze, tan lines... and just laying out and soaking up the rays. Living in Washington is such a bittersweet location. It wouldn't be as green and lucious if the rain didn't come as much as it does. And those warm days (when we get them), are just SO MUCH MORE BEAUTIFUL because of the longing desire to have them! I am drawn toward the warm weather, but I am also drawn to the beauty and landscape of this beautiful rainy state.


I AM ABSOLUTELY excited for Daniel to meet his little niece, Emma-E. I know that she has been terribly upset that she has not been able to see him yet... I mean, he is the COOLEST Uncle D in the world entire universe. Best yet, they get to meet at my favorite spot in the WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD- Lake Tahoe, NV. Awwwwww, it will probably be one of the top 5 greatest and most exciting moments in my life. I love my husband and my beautiful niece.

I know this is a late "Monday Moods"... but I made the cut- 5 minutes before midnight! Link up with Amber and use these words in your post to describe your moods this Monday!
