Changes!

(It is significant to me that this post happens to be the 100th!)

Just call me Nanny McMeg!

This Wednesday I will be starting a full-time job as a nanny. 

I will be working more hours than Adam.

I will be spending my days with 2 boys: 18 months and 30 months.

I will be getting up at 5am.

5.A.M.

Is that clear? 

I need to be held accountable.

Why 5am when my job doesn't start until 7:30?

Because I need time to stretch, meditate, read scriptures, write.

But mostly because I have a puppy who needs lots of exercise before he can be left alone for the whole day.

I've been walking him for 30-60 mins in the mornings. And today, my walk somehow, unbeknown (I love that word) to me, slipped into a jog. 

And it felt so good. So good that I'm going to continue running in the mornings, dragging Kaleo behind me the whole way. And heck, I might even start looking for small races (like, 5k .... or less) to motivate me.

I realize this is much easier said than done.

We all know that Google has all the answers. So when I typed in

How to get up at 5am everyday

I actually got some good answers, ideas, and inspiration.

And I'm potentially excited for this new venture of mine.

Along with running, I also want to start writing again, but my creativity is pretty much shot.

So I was excited when I stumbled upon
this article on recovering my creativity; 

I plan on following its advice as well
 (morning pages and the artist date)

This is a big deal. 

That's why I'm telling you.

So you can be excited with me!
