Spring Cleaning

On the Agenda for yesterday and today-- Spring Cleaning. It's become a much anticipated annual therapeutic routine in our household. Call me weird but I do my best thinking, reflecting and planning with a vacuum, broom, or wet rag in my hand with music blasted, bouncing around the walls of our house-- sorry neighbours. 

By the end of today the layer of literal and figurative dust that has protected our furniture and minds for the past few months will be gone. Our curtains will be drawn and our windows will be cleaned- with the exception of Buddy's nose art that we can never seem to keep up with. We're merging the indoors with the outdoors and rebalancing.  

Refocusing.

With love & clarity.

J (& R too).

Thank you-

I'm not one to wish my life away but I've been dreading this week for months for a number of reasons and can't wait for it to be over. Ever since I started this blog both Ryan and I have had friends and family and even strangers comment on how perfect our life seems. Let me be the first to admit that it's not always rainbows and butterflies. We've been working extremely hard and have been under an immense amount of pressure as of lately-- more than usual this past week.

Sometimes life requires you to step back... or step out of a meeting and do a few emergency jumping jacks in the bathroom to stay awake...in hopes that it raises your endorphins enough to get you through the day.

circa 2010.

We could not have made it through this week without: SR, Gma May, JM x 2, JAM, The Steppers, Service Master Calgary, AT, AB, BM, YO. There is no foundation, no secure ground, upon which we could stand without you. We love you all so much. No words of gratitude would suffice in the face of such overwhelming support. Thank you.

Here's to you all.

With love.
