thoughts on a tuesday

Day two complete of boot camp and it's definitely getting more intense and harder to squat to sit down. ugh, can't imagine how i'll feel after 5 days! i'm really, really enjoying it though. Monday we did our workout on Ocean Ave which overlooks the ocean, great view. As I laid down on my mat to do my 'core' work, i got to gaze up at palm trees and see the sun rising in the distance. pretty beautiful, pretty amazing. Then today we were on the beach, even better sun rise and overall atmosphere. What a way to work out--to just be outside among such beauty (although running in the sand is not easy!). really loving that. and hoping i'm toning up in the meantime!

Otherwise, not much else to report. Work has been real intense lately and very busy. One day feels like we accomplish a week's worth of work...i'm completely fried by the time i get home. tis is life i guess, or at least advertising :) But as a result feeling behind in my personal life--both finding some time for me to just enjoy, catch my breath, etc. but also with connecting to those who are important to me. I think it's been over a week since i've heard my dad's voice (we text a lot but not the same)! So i hope to have some time this weekend to catch up.

And next week i'm super excited to report that my brother Shawn is coming to see me. He arrives on Wed night and stays until Monday--I'M SO EXCITED!!!! I hope the bright sunny days continue--anything should be better than all the snow he's getting (i just hope we don't get rain). SO i have some cool hikes planned and other fun "LA" things to do. It's so exciting b/c he's never been to CA or LA. So i'm just real excited for him to see why I love it here.

Hope everyone is having a lovely start to the new year. I'm desperately trying to not remember what was happening in my world this time last year, but it's tough when i still have a lot of flashbacks. It still amazes me the difference a year can make...anxious to feel "through year one" of the grieving process. Until then, it's just one more day at a time.
