Poetry and Yoga: Thinking Out Loud #106

Happy Thursday! This week has felt so long, anyone else dragging right now? Part of that has been a few early mornings at work, but my lupus has been acting up so I feel really run down. Aside from some laundry, cleaning, and hitting the gym I plan on doing a whole lot of nothing on my days off to get my body some rest. Anyway, let's jump into this weeks thinking out loud!


1. Pretty much anyone who knows me knows I'm a massive poetry nerd. I finally got my hands on Atticus' new book The Dark Between Stars. It's so beautiful. The poems are similar to his first book, but also delve deeper into emotions and love. I highly recommend it! 


2. I've been dreaming of açai bowls for weeks now. In two weeks I'll be able to eat all the açai bowls my tummy can stand when my boyfriend and I head out to Cali for my brothers wedding. We're super excited to get a few days away from work and to get time to relax. Both working high demand jobs is hard, so getting to spend time together and with my family will be super nice. Plus we get to dance the night away when my brother gets married💃


3. It's been awhile since I've done yoga on my own. My boyfriend and I try to get to class at least once a week but it's hard with our schedules. Taking time out to practice by myself again has been relaxing, but also frustrating because I can't do as much as I used to. I know it's a matter of time before it all comes back and I need to be patient, but patience is not one of my strong suits😬


4. I love this quote. So often when we face difficult times we panic and feel stuck because we can't see the outcome. For me personally, some of the most difficult times I've ever gone through forced me to grow the most. No one likes going through hard times, but I know I'm stronger because of them. I wouldn't be the person I am had I not gone through times that tested me. I definitely wouldn't be working a job I love right now, I wouldn't have the incredible boyfriend I do, and I wouldn't be as strong or half as feisty as I am. Don't let hard times break you, let them shape you.

Have a terrific Thursday and a great weekend🎉🎉🎉
