T.O.P.'s Tuesday: A New View

Happy Tuesday everyone! What have you been up to? I must admit, I haven't been up to much. This summer I made a conscience decision to relax and enjoy time with family, catch up on some sleep, and NOT plan. This is a challenge for me, I'm a planner. I'm the first-born-organizer.

Within a couple weeks I not only adjusted to not having a schedule or expectations on the calendar each week, I started to like it. As the school year starts and I attempt to "get in the groove", I find myself transitioning slowly back into routine.

In life we have choices to make each day, the first one might be automatic for most of you yet for some, it is the most challenging...the first choice you make is to swing your feet out from the sheets and get up in the morning. Stand up, breathe in a deep breath, and thank God for this new day. 

This summer I chose to relax. This Autumn, I chose to meld my need for organization and planning with a more relaxed and laid back approach. It's a choice. A choice I believe will benefit my family, friends, and me. 
What do you choose today?
