    Thoughts are energy and what we think can become an action. If we are always negative then everything we do will have negativity attached to it. If we are positive and can see a better future then that will happen too. I have recently had one cataract removed from my right eye and everything I now see is much brighter and because of this I see everything else in a brighter more positive way.

    Keywords: Four Wheel Pop-Up Truck Camper

    In our minds, you buy an RV to explore the great outdoors, not to sit in front of the giant flat-screen tv in your semi-truck size RV that cost more than my house. We could only conclude that this was to satisfy the wives of the men who dreamt of traveling the country in an RV. However, at the RV show, we did take a quick look inside a truck camper and thought, “Hmm, roomier than I would have guessed.” We came home and immersed ourselves in more research. Thanks to the great land of information that is the internet we stumbled upon Four Wheel Camper. A truck camper that’s built for off-roading! Better yet, a dealer had just opened up shop in Denver, we were there within a few days.

    I want to help those who are not struggling learn how to more effectively serve those who are. I want to make you aware of how small things can sometimes be more appreciated than big things.

    Since I was a little, I would always grab a pen and paper and wait for the sunlight to fade and the darkness to take over the world. Yes, i love darkness so much because it means meeting the stars.

    I was an outdoor leader, a summer camp counselor, a horse logger, an all around stable rat. Even while pregnant, I was sliding 60 pound bales of hay across the snow to feed the horses (much to my midwives dismay). The thought that, post child, I’d have to make a long haul, concentrated effort to regain things like strength and muscle didn’t even cross my fluffy, post college, hormonal mind.

    Needless to say, getting used to being the “dutiful” wife has been an adjustment. And maybe I am having a harder time with it because I still have yet to move into the world of an army base where this is just every day life. I am sure that I will be so grateful and relieved when I actually do move for this support network to be in place. And what I am saying may sound like I am unhappy with this group, which is not the case. I do appreciate being kept in the loop since Tom’s world is about to be turned upside down. And these women know the best way to be of support not only to our partners but also to each other. I am just not used to my husband defining who I am, and this is a huge adjustment for me to make. I mean my life’s work is all about respecting everyone’s individuality and being your own person. So when I hear these messages from the Army like “Oh your wife could move here with you to work at the pool” you can see how there could be some frustration and some “You don’t know me!” attitude going through my head.

    I realize this post probably doesn’t sound a whole lot like me… but I don’t feel much like myself anymore anyway. My poor husband and kids have had to watch me struggle to get through each day, to cry and cry because I can’t do the things I want, or even Need to do, and be ok with everything changing More because mom can’t tolerate much of anything. I absolutely Hate having to take life day by day. And after 4.5 years of being forced to do that against my will, now I have to take things hour by hour, sometimes minute by minute. I do not have the luxury of planning anything for the future. As human beings, we thrive on having things to which we can look forward … I have fear and terror of what could happen. With a teeny tiny sliver of hope that I am Really struggling to maintain.

    I will be writing every night after finishing my reading and hope to see some changes. I will be checking off the items and also write what ideas and feelings I have encountered and what change has been happening in terms of both internal and external things in life. Hope I can change and become a better person. Oh and almost forgot, that 6 hours is not only about working. I will be about researching, brainstorming, focusing, creating and also my main work too. So, yes. I will try to reflect some of the things I found while working as ell. Cheers to a better life and better me!

    I understand peace comes from within (I could be wrong) and getting the peace I desire is going to take a lot of work. Being more mindful and intentional with my words and actions, forgiving myself for past decisions I’ve made, allowing myself grace, and allowing myself time to heal. Creating a safe place for myself to grow and evolve as a person. It’s not going to happen overnight however going back to things I enjoy, creating new habits as simple as they are, have brought a level of peace and calm to my life I think I was searching for. Life is already hard as it is but finding the little things that make us happy or what we enjoy makes it better. This is a lesson I am learning, not being afraid to do what I want to do and not being afraid of trying. Just do, just doing whatever I want with no fear and regrets. I wrote this post because I’ve been grappling with different aspects of my life lately, and this was an area that took a hit the most. I wanted to share with you some of the little things (I may have mentioned in the past) I have been doing to create a more peaceful environment for myself. If you have made it to the end of the post, thank you, thank you for allowing me to share a bit of myself, and thank you for the support.
