Hi everyone!

Last week, I noticed I was having a hard time with transition times, and this week made it clear my daughters are the same. Their sleep hasn't been so good, which of course has impacted Hubby and me.

However, I find that daily meditation helps me handle it better, so there's at least that.

And of course transitions are not intrisically good or bad, they're just an adjusting time we need to go through, for better or for worse.

Right now, it seems to be for the better as far as the house is concerned. Our parental suite is at the core of our free time and we're definitely seeing ourselves in there by the end of the month. =D

As for the girls, the change is nice too and they like school, so it's mostly about changing pace.

Writing is a bit trickier as I don't have much time, but overall, it's not going too badly either. I sometimes skip a day or two, then stray from the plan and scribble notes for another episode instead of writing #2, but I'm still making progress there too, chaotic as it may look sometimes. I guess it's because I'm all over the place in life too.

Anyway, it doesn't exactly feel that way but it was a good week. ^^

How about you? Are you in a transition time right now? If so, is it for better or for worse? Let me know in the comments.

Normally, there's also blue for progress and pause in purple, but right now i'll focus on numbers and only goals where progress has been made.
