Yesterday involved a lot of self-reflection and realization and TODAY was full of confirmations, motivations, and reminders. What did I learn? Le Grand Courtage says it perfectly: Embrace Life. Dream Big. Accept All Invitations.

I had a lazy Sunday...I pretty much did a whole lotta NOTHING all day and went out to watch the Steelers this evening. 
I don’t want to talk about that part.

If it were possible for me to have a Quality Time overload, it could have happened today...I suppose it is no coincidence that we saw Hidden Figures at the movies on the same day of the Women's March...

Today was one of those days where I found out just how productive I can be...and I surprised my damn self! Our custom wedding napkins (it sounds great just typing it) are almost done, I got plenty of work done, took care of my man and squeezed in a workout! I did well with my time today...

Today was a day of recovery but it’s also Martin Luther King Jr. Day and I’d be remiss if I didn’t give it a shout out. Today I’m happy that men and women like Dr. King did the hard work for people like me...

I’ll say that today was better than yesterday based on the fact that on top of the rest of my daily activities, I killed it in the gym AND checked another destination wedding task off of our list! Of course, it wasn’t without incident, but that’s more than enough for this Thursday, thank me very much!

Unlike yesterday, I did EVERYTHING I planned on doing today, so no complaints here. I’m happy to have a fiancé that is just as involved in the wedding planning as I am...if not more at times (I had to throw in the “at times” cuz I’m hatin a little)...

I continued to take it easy today, since I’m still fresh off of my Lupus flare from Days 144-141.
I’m just Baby Stepping my way to my back to greatness!  No rush here. Che got a large chunk of the wedding music playlist done tonight and I sat right next to him as he did it...

So, I’m back. And it kind of feels like I’ve come back to life. I put it out there that I was knocked out of the game by a ghastly Lupus flare, but now that I am completely out of the woods with that, I have a bit of a different perspective on life.
