Getting Through Monday

Let's be honest, we all know Monday can be the beast of all beasts. At least for me. With all the memes I see about Monday on social media, I feel there has to be at least a handful of people that agree with me, ha ha. However, this Monday was a little different. Even though waking up was rough and work was work, there were a couple bright moments throughout the day. I wanted to share a few of those. First, my sister Heather sent me this picture of Hadley that is absolutely the CUTEST thing EVER. I set it as my background on my phone so that as I'm going through my hard moments,  I can take a look at it and without fail, it makes me smile every time.

My second moment came when  I found a link on the "Remembering Annie Schmidt" Facebook page. She is the daughter of Jon Schmidt who is famous for his piano skills and group the "Piano Guys." She went missing in Oregon and they eventually found her where she had fallen while hiking. You will have to read the story. It's so heartbreaking. The last thing that Annie posted on social media before passing was, " Fill your life with good vibes." I have had strong connection to her whole story. So when on her page I found a link to a sweatshirt someone had made in her memory, I couldn't help but get one. With losing loved ones myself, being in life-threatening moments more than once, and seeing the world around me I know we never know which moment is our last. So in Annie's words, "Fill your life with good vibes."

Doesn't the smile just absolutely kill you? Ha ha.
