Hello and Happy Deep Thoughts Thursday! Although today is drab and dreary, I’m feeling all sorts of cheery, as we have hit the peak of cherry blossom season here in the DC area!

Thankfully, I’ve given myself some grace when it comes to catching up on my daily affirmations and reflections. I’m currently in-between getting Clara off the bus and waiting to pick Elyse up from her after-school activity and have decided that now would be the perfect time to play a little catch up.
