Here's my Heart ...again!

Here we go again. I so love it that Stephanie Howell does this challenge. http://www.stephaniehowell.com/my_weblog/2011/10/blog-your-heart-a-challenge.html

It really gets me to thinking and to get those thoughts down on paper. So here we go!

• Why can exercising be such a challenge? I love how I feel after I workout. I love the way the numbers on the scale go lower when I do. Ugh!! I have to find the perfect balance.

• Fall!! It's here. I'm not excited about the rain. But I LOVE the gorgeous, sunny crisp days. There is no denying that it is just stunning in NW Washington at this time of year. These are just my cell phone pictures. They don't seem to capture it as vibrantly as my eyes.
  
  
  
  Driving up to WWU
  
  Walking on the trail by our house
  
  This leave seriously is the size of a dinner plate!
  
  
  
  
• Robert - yes, you worry about your grown children!! My boy is on my mind and in my prayers often.
• Pulling it together - I've been working on our office/my scrapbook supply room for a good month now. A tad embarrassed to show you the before but here it is.
  BEFORE - there was a large metal paper rack in that empty space.
  
  AFTER:
  
  
  BEFORE - A scrapbooking and crafting mess!
  
  AFTER - I still have some canvas boxes to fill but we're getting there.
  
  
  BEFORE - Utter ciaos!! Never wanting to work in here to even keep up with our financial stuff.
  
  AFTER - Still in progress as we sort out the computer situation. I mean, seriously take a look at that beast of a computer monitor!!
  
  It's been liberating to sort through things, sell things, give them away or just plain old throw them away. LOVE IT! But I have to stop being so hard on myself that I'm not getting it done faster. Thanks to my family for being patient.

• LOTS of other things that I will wait until next Blog my Heart segment. Anyone else on-board with this? Give it a try!!
