I’ve decided to stop being quiet over here.
I’ve basically been silent on here for two years and boy have you missed a lot. I have a lot of blogs saved that I never posted, I should start there. Although some are for many years from now when hockey is over… for many reasons (haha). Or maybe I’ll save those and write a book….
I have a little updating to do on here. Some new photos, maybe a new layout. Give me some time.
Today starts Jerry’s NINTH hockey season!!!! We are all so excited for this new season and new adventure here in Kassel. LET’S GO HUSKIES!
I used to keep a private journal on top of doing this and then I had kids and well, that all went to shit. Two summers ago my dear friend from college, Whitney Bauer, brought me over a couple of feel good gifts when life was feeling pretty damn hard. One was this journal that I have kept since but I haven’t had an ounce of energy to open it up and write in it….
Sidenote: The front of the journal has a cheetah on it and it says, ‘don’t let them tame you’… and wow, do I feel that.
Today…I went and grabbed it out of my closet and well, I wrote in it. Thanks WB. There are going to be some good memories in there. ❤
Everywhere you look right now people are talking about writing things down. Right now there is a big ‘trend’ on writing down things you are thankful for every day. They say it’s ‘life changing’.. ‘magical’ even. Sounds cliche, maybe lame to some. I’m guilty of having those thoughts… but I did it. That is what I did today. I kind of felt the magic. So, don’t mock it until you try it, I guess.
Well, wish us luck for the next nine months.
All we can hope for is a FUN, healthy, successful season. It’s not too much to ask for, right?! (Jesus, is that you? Can you hear me? I’m begging you!!!!!!). But seriously… GOOD VIBES only. If not, please… exit the building.
I leave you with this friendly/positive reminder:
Liebe,
Amanda
