Earlier this week…hubs and I found out we have to move this fall. 90 days to be exact – an 18.5% rent hike (as noted on my twitter feed) left me feeling stressed, overwhelmed and nervous. I mean…all I wanted this year was a little bit of stability and we’re almost there, but… hubs’s job isn’t guaranteed past 8/10/10 – keep your fingers crossed for this primary to not go the way of the polls. Couple that with having to find a new apartment, and us both working. A lot. This has not…been the easiest first year of marriage. But..on the bright side, I have a job I adore, coworkers who couldn’t be more fabulous and inspiring, an amazing husband and blogging is always making me happy. I’m surviving. And well…a friend of mine was surprised when i finally spilled all the beans about all this, how I stay so positive because, like in yoga, you have to live in the moment.
PS – are YOU going to BlogHer next week? Let’s meet up!!!
This week I had an extra special treat to look forward to that included trying lots of cute clothes.

So aside from working hard, doing tons of yoga, and living in the moment … I’ve got good things keeping the bad, worrisome thoughts at bay. Want to win a pair of free jeans? Check out the review blog for more details on that (and that slammin’ outfit above). Two words. Legging Jeans. FTW. (okay that was five words but who’s counting??)
Another good thing? Lots of yoga.. Breathing deeply and appreciating the moment(s). Running again/more. Going to Vermont this weekend for a whirlwind trip to visit the fam (and the brother!!). Getting happy amazon packages from the bestie. Planning visits. Reading. And friends moving back from overseas (one of hubs’s groomsmen/best dude pals just moved back from Japan with his bride to be! We’re so excited to see them soon!)
Anyhow, as I’ve said, it’s always helpful to find the positive. Look forward and live in the moment. When in doubt? Just breathe (even though that doesn’t always help in overwhelming situations. Just try.)
