My husband and daughter spent some time together yesterday, and while they were walking through town they took the picture that became today’s featured image. This chubby old dog sunning himself in a jewelry store window makes me smile. Obviously, he knows how to practice self-care!
This journey is one that is both outward and inward discovery. The more I change myself, the more I believe I can make positive impacts on the world around me too. While I have decided to lend my voice to a positive perspective on things, this is not to imply that my life is perfect. Who’s life is?
There is always a positive side and negative side of things – both are usually true, but which one do you want to make your reality? For me, I try to take the positive stance (most of the time I can do it) and the more I keep it all in perspective, the more I can learn how to deal directly with my stress so I do not turn to food. This is just another lesson that I’m learning as I stay on the journey.
What an important message — happiness, our attitudes, is a choice. Life really is the reality we choose to see. What a powerful journey you are on and how lucky we are to share it with you! Thank you so much for your post 🙂

The photos tell their own story of self-care. A long walk, a tall latte, the calm of the waters…it all brings a positivity to the post. I also like the idea that the more we turn inward, the more apt we are to impact outward.

Taking time is a learned strategy. I feel as of late my writing is my care. I have not been so great in other areas. This inspires me to get back to it. Thanks
