The views at the Blue Mountains were amazing, too. Though it was quite cold there!

How I shone this week: My sister was here all week! Which was wonderful and while the early part of the week was filled with work, we got to spend some quality time together towards the latter end of the week. And it was wonderful. Of course, I am behind at work, in reading, and more but this kind of time with my sister is once in a life time. Books will still be here and so will work. My way to shine this week was to remember that. Things I wanted to get Done:
I celebrate: a whole extra week with my sister! I am grateful for: my sister and all the help she lent me this week! I nourished myself by: eating as well as I could this week. Reflecting on my worries: i apparently didn’t post a living intentionally last week so we’re going to go with i had no worries! lol 🙂 I let go of: getting things done while my sister is here. and reading. Core Desire Check-in (bold, mindful, nourish, love):
What made me laugh this week: i laughed a lot with my boys and sister and at work, too. What I tolerated this week: not getting enough alone time. My mood this week was: overwhelmed. Here’s to a great week 39. You can read about the start of this project here. For the next day, we got adventurous again and rented a car to drive to the Blue Mountains. We specifically picked Scenic World so we could do the trains and trams, etc.

We stopped by the Botanical Gardens to see the wall of flowers and then walked all the way to Mrs Macquarie’s Chair which had wonderful views.

I had checked out Would Everybody Please Stop last time but didn’t make it all the way through. This time I finished it and while parts of it were funny, I wasn’t a huge fan overall. I then moved to Stay with Me which I loved. I loved. It was hard to read and made me sad in many parts but I loved reading it. The Child was a quick read, and I will say that I didn’t guess the twist at the end at all. Partly because I read it in bits and pieces and maybe I wasn’t paying close enough attention. I am now reading 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do which is interesting and thought provoking at parts but I am not sure it’s super considerably better than the TED talk + the article. We’ll see. Books I Read this Week 2017 is a year-long project for 2017. You can read more about my projects for 2017 here.

So grateful for my progress, I have more shots on instagram though not that many since my sister came. Nourish Me Week 2017 is a year-long project for 2017.

When we walked outside, we saw twenty birds at the house next to ours. Beautiful, colorful parrots were eating the apple and pear our neighbor had put out. We stayed there to watch for quite some time. We then started the walk over to Woolloomooloo (which is the best named place ever!)

I got the best birthday present this year! My sister came to visit. She had a last minute change in plans and ended up coming to San Francisco three weeks earlier than planned. So she showed up late the night before my birthday and we got to go to the city all day for my birthday. I wanted to make sure to work out so I went to work first and did my Body Pump class. I then came home and we drove to City Lights in the city. I’d never been to the famous book store and, of course, it was amazing. We then went to Spruce and had a delightful lunch. A quick trip to a coffee shop and we were on the way home to pick up the boys from the school bus. Later at night we had some cake at home as a family, too! All in all, it was a really wonderful birthday! Here’s to many more together!

The next day we all took buses to Bondi so we could do the Bondi to Coogee walk. It was incredibly cold when we first got there (it was Winter in Sydney!) but it warmed up and the walk was magnificent of course.

How I shone this week: Well this week took an unexpected turn. My sister called me Sunday and asked me if she can come Monday night. She was in Boston and was planning to come in three weeks but due to a last minute change, she decided to show up. While it was absolutely wonderful, between that and my taking the day off on Tuesday, this week was very crunched so there was much running around to squeeze in going to school and work and exercise and of course being with my wonderful sister. Maybe shining mostly looks like surviving lately for me. Things I wanted to get Done:
I celebrate: getting to celebrate my birthday with my sister! I am grateful for: my sister! my hubby! my boys! I nourished myself by: lots of exercise this week. Reflecting on my worries: all the days worked out and so did making more room so i could be with my sister. I let go of: getting it all right this week.

What made me laugh this week: i laughed a lot with my boys and sister. What I tolerated this week: not getting enough work done. My mood this week was: tired. Here’s to a great week 38. |
