Happy Tuesday My Beautiful Friend! I hope your week is going well!
I am feeling back to normal since chemo a little over a week ago and ready to make things happen this week . . . I have so many projects I want to start I almost don’t know where to begin! One thing is for sure – ORGANIZATION is at the top of my list!
My jewelry is out of control and how one person accumulated so many shoes is beyond my comprehension! I Have A Plan Though! Now the trick is just taking the time to implement it and get my life in order!!! It’s GOT To Happen!
This past weekend I heard someone say, “This is an opportunity for a NEW Normal!” I just loved that!
He was also saying that sometimes negative FEELS normal. He pointed out that often the familiar has a calming affect – but that doesn’t mean it isn’t negative!!
So as we think about moving forward, what will You do to create your NEW NORMAL?!
Yes, I know – continue to social distance, wash my hands, etc….. BUT I’m talking about what will be The New WITHIN You?!
Will you love with new magnitude? Live with more gratitude?? Maybe even sport a whole new attitude???!
I plan to do all of the above and then some! This time of quarantine is the prefect opportunity for a little self-examination and, I for one, am thinking more and more about how I can COME OUT BETTER than when I went in!
I won’t settle just because of a comfortable familiar. I want to run my race proudly so that when I hit the finish line there are fewer regrets and more moments of splendor!
Now let’s talk about denim! Have y’all tried the latest trend of wide-legged crops??
At first I just wasn’t on board. It was one of those, “oh that looks great on YOU but it’s not for me” mindsets.
But lately…. the more I’ve seen them, the more I wanted to see how they would actually look on me.
So as it warmed up, I gave in and purchased a pair (Mine are these from JCrew). I can always return them, right?!!
And y’all, I think I actually like them. I was worried they would make me look “wide” (I tend to gain any extra pounds in the hip area). But after checking the mirror at every angle, I really think just about any body type can pull-off this cute Spring trend!!
I think I actually would have gone with a less-blousy top – but I am kinda digging the casual, relaxed fit of my new-found cropped friends!

Enjoyed reading this. Finding my new normal will definitely include appreciation of all the little things that are often taken for granted. There’s always good that comes out of bad and I believe there’s already been good that has come our way because of this.
Have a wonderful rest of your week,
Nancy
Isn’t that the truth Nancy!! I feel like we’ll all be a little better after this ordeal!
Thank you for stopping by and for leaving a thought!!
Stay healthy and safe!!
