It's mine so hush...

This has been an interesting week for me. I feel quite refreshed even though nothing major changed in my schedule. It was a non-kiddo week, which honestly often means cramming in appointments, working later and engaging outside the home more. Yet this week seemed more refreshing. 1)My amazing hubs spent the week figuring and re-figuring our tax situation. You see, we learned that if we file jointly and collect all those lovely married folks tax credits, my student loan payment will be nearly as much as our mortgage. Buuuuut, if we file separately, we don't get to use any of our tax credits and have to pay a little out of pocket, but my loan payment will be very manageable. You might ask how this is a blissful moment, well, let me tell you how. My hubs has taken the lead on this daunting task, with out me asking, and is being super supportive about something that causes me great anxiety. He's balancing me out, and that is truly blissful! 2) I am getting close to being in...

It's that time of the week. Time to take stock of all the moments of bliss that occured throughout my week. I am again, down to the wire to link with the lovely Liv Lane's blissful blog post , and I think i'll make it this time! 1) I have to say, I find such joy in working with the clients that come to our clinic. For those of you out of the loop, I am a therapist for adults living with severe and persistent mental illness. I never dreamed I would so thoroughly enjoy partnering in health with this community. I had always thought I would be back in the DV/SA community as quickly as I could, but I really love the work I get to do with people. 2) Girls afternoon. I got to sip bubbly and make fun of Breaking Dawn part I with my lovely lady friends. It was delightful to catch up and plot for our next adventures together. I am so lucky to have such wonderful lady friends. 3) Dinner, just me and the hubs. It's a rare and lovely treat! 4) Salted Caramel lattes from D...

I was down for the count most of the weekend, so I missed my opportunity to link with the lovely Liv Lane's blissful blog post . I thought about posting last night, but I just didn't have it in me. I was savoring every bit of energy I could muster, which wasn't much. So, tonight I will post my moments of bliss from the last week. 1. I Love Lemon Tea saved my life the last few days. Piping hot with a dollop of local honey was stupendously soothing to my throbbing throat. 2. Quality time with my bestie Moop . We checked out the crafty deals at Michaels and I am pleased to say that I have a Valentine's Day gift in the works already. 3. I have this amazing piece of art hanging in my home. I found it three spring breaks ago in a little shop in Florence, OR. I fell in love with it and another just like it. I read it every morning as I am getting ready in the bathroom and it has provided me with much joy. Annnnnyway, through this practice of acknowledging bli...
