\"It's<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve had time to do some really fun things over the past few days. I took time to visit a local farm and see all the new spring babies, like pigs, goats, and sheep. I naturally dyed Easter Eggs with my daughter. I took a yoga class with my husband.

I stretched my legs and had a little nap on the deck to enjoy the new spring weather. Last night I made a butternut squash risotto even though it took almost an hour to cook (with constant stirring). I even had time to exercise for an hour every day, and do my work.<\/p>\n

While I still struggle with time some days, usually I do things that I love, accomplish a little less and end each day rested, satisfied and happy about how I spent my time. Compared to how I used to wake up groggy and collapse into bed each night, this is a big improvement.<\/p>\n
