Happy Friday! If I’ve got random thoughts to share they usually fall on a Wednesday, but Friday it is this week! I know… change is scary.
I’m off work and on a work break until the new year. I take the month of December off work every year, but this year is especially fun with a wedding and honeymoon thrown in! It feels like every inch of my families house is filled with boxes of mine either for the wedding or for the apartment Dan and I will be moving into. The Christmas tree is up and Hallmark channel is pretty much always on. I live for this time of year!! Here are some random things living in my brain these days!
I’m addicted to lists.
You probably think I’m kidding, but I’m not! I’m actually addicted! I am an enneagram 3 (through and through- I joke that I’m a 3 with a 3 wing) and studying this has really been eye opening. I’ve realized that I truly do see life through the eye of accomplishments and achievements. It’s almost as though I see the small ones even more than the big ones. I wake up with a running list in my head of what needs to get done in the day. Stick in the laundry, organize my desk drawer, ect. I always thought this was because I am a business owner. I wake up ready to structure my own work day and by necessity know what all needs to get done. Well, in my time off I’ve realized that I do this whether there is “work” to do or not. I will make a to-do list out of anything and everything.
The Lord has really been bringing this to my attention and the ways it inhibits my rest. It’s hard to be still when you think you need to be getting stuff done all the time. I’m at the very very beginning of seeing this pattern in myself, so for now I’ll leave it at this, I think the Lord is very clearly asking me to hand him each moment with open hands and ask how He wants me to spend it – list aside.
If you are interested at all in the enneagram I can’t stress enough START HERE, please don’t just take a test, read this easy to read book!
Organizing my makeup
On a more lighthearted note. Have you tried Z Palettes? I’ve been brainstorming a new way to organize my makeup and I think this may be it! You essentially take each pan of makeup out of sets and magnetically attach them to a new palate. It lets you combine and organize makeup however you like and I think it may be just the thing for me! I know the company hasn’t made a great impression on people lately, so if there are dupes out there that you know of, let me know!
Pink & her daughter
Have you heard the Greatest Showman Reimagined Soundtrack? It is celebrity covers of the original songs, and to be honest I don’t love it – but I can’t get over this video of Pink singing with her daughter!! So heartwarming and looks like the talent has been passed down!
Amazon Prime
My last and final statement: how did people plan weddings before Amazon Prime?
