Greetings all, on this beautiful Full Moon :)
I’m experiencing a lot of change right now, and I think I’ve actually got it all under control. A little bit of planning ahead, organization, and routine. I’m determined to feed my family better, more often.
I made up a menu for the week that includes cooking for lunch and leftovers for dinner, plus the occasional leftover morph into something new. It occurred to me last night that if I made such a detailed menu up for a few weeks in a row, I would have an out-right blue print of smooth menu weeks, and that would make it VERY easy to go back and repeat entire weeks. I would have already done all the thinking involved.
I also made a menu for the boys’ lunches. They now have groups of side dishes associated with days of the week. I can run that on auto pilot. I only have to change up the main attraction!
See the family menu here… and the boys’ automated side dishes here…

I’m going on a new Joy Quest this cycle too!!
I’m going to be experiencing something new very soon that I’m SUPER excited about, and yet completely terrified. LOL
Michael has been begging for a guitar and lessons for a couple years now. Our deal was, “Once you master the recorder in fourth grade and have a basic understanding of reading music, then we’ll talk guitar. Probably the beginning of fifth grade.”
Well, I can’t even believe it, but he starts fifth grade TOMORROW!
And he did master the recorder and reading music just as I’d asked him to. So, Probably next week he’s going to start guitar lessons.
But as I was about to call to inquire, I had a sudden realization. I should TOTALLY go take lessons too! I’ve always wanted to learn an instrument beyond my short stint with the flute in fifth grade. Piano and guitar. Those are my top 2 favorite instruments.
And the more I sat and pondered the idea of actually taking guitar lessons, the more excited I became. I mean, I was vibrating from the inside so tremendously, it felt like it should have been visible from outside of me.
After I called and found out that Michael and I can take the lessons TOGETHER and get a discount because we’re going for the same instrument and we’re in the same place knowledge wise, I realized how completely terrified I am. LOL
This is WAY out of my comfort zone!!!
I have to do it though. I’m more excited than afraid.
It’s the sort of fear that you feel as the cart tops the first BIG hill on the roller coaster track. You’re about 99% sure you’ll be okay, and you’re terrified and yet exhilarated at the same time. You want to laugh out loud, but still, a scream threatens. Never are you more present in the Now than when your Now is on top of a monster roller coaster hill about to take the plunge…
It’s living!
This is something I’ve always wanted to do. Until now though, unnoticed. A dream unheeded. It’s incredible to me the depth of pleasure I get from simply contemplating this step forward.
With a step this far into pleasure, and this far beyond my comfort zone, I’m excited to see the beautiful ripple effect that will ensue….
