This change of season has gotten me thinking about friendships, those new and old (or silver and gold as the song goes), and wanting to invest in them more this season. Read this blog post for easy ways to make and maintain friends as an adult, especially as a busy mom.

When’s the last time you tried something new?

Does your life feel boring? Like a lot of the same old, same old, struggling through pandemic life and wishing for things to return to ‘normal’? I’m guessing that ‘normal’ life wasn’t actually all that exciting, it was comfortable. And that’s okay. We need that bit of known security.

But maybe you’re craving a bit more of an amazing, fulfilling life.

Come home to yourself.

Sometimes starting something completely new feels like a lot, too much to add to our plate when we already feel like we aren’t managing our chaos well.

When was the last time you took yourself on a play date? Spent at least 15 minutes doing something purely for fun or the enjoyment of it?

I’m getting better at deliberately setting time aside for fun, and being open to when fun finds me.
