83. Trading Expectation for Appreciation

There’s a quote I love and I’ve shared before by Tony Robbins that goes like this. “Trade your expectations for appreciation and your world changes instantly." Think about it for a moment while I tell you a little anecdote about my relationship. 

Deryk and I work opposite shifts. He’s a high school music teacher, so he works days, and I’m a server at a restaurant and work 4 nights a week, plus Sunday's. We both love what we do and there’s a lot of overlapping time together and we spend it together as happily as possible.

82. Redefining Supermom

I recently hired a meal prep and delivery service to help me create healthy dinners for my family. It was an area that I’ve always struggled with, even though I love to cook.

I think part of the reason is because I’ve been in the restaurant industry for so long, I’ve never been used to planning nightly meals.  

And the other, of course,  because while I don’t ever say “I don’t have the time” the reality is, we do only have so many hours in a day.
