It's Feb and Sat. work

 First of All......Happy February 💗

February is the RED month... also known as the month of love.  

 

And now................ 

Well dear friends...Tax season is officially peeking around the corner....it's like that one bill you were hoping would forget your address.  (laughing) and laughing some more.

I spent most of Saturday afternoon deep in tax land and I actually think I worked overtime.  Extra pay?  Not a dime!!

I love how when it comes tax time, every receipt suddenly becomes super important.  Not sure about you all, but yes, I'm the one who saves every receipt.....

I looked everywhere for my ice cream receipts....then I remembered I don't eat ice cream.  And now I feel like I missed a deduction for the year.  

For me, tax season is one part math, one part mystery and 2 parts emotional exercise. 

Working on taxes is very humbling for me.  One minute I feel responsible and grown, the next I'm squinting at my calculator wondering why my eyes are all glazed over, wondering why I grew up in the first place!!!!!  Many may agree with me on this....I am convinced that the best cardio exercise is when I am deep into figures. This definitely gets my heart rate up.    

Woo hoo .....  I'm done, I'm finished, and now it is up to our accountant to double check me.  

Now, on this Sunday morning, I can breath better, I can now totally move my focus to my 2026 receipts, and I can officially leave 2025 behind me. 

I survived Saturday and all the numbers that were being thrown at me.....and now today (Sunday) is my recovery day!!  lol.

BTW....we still have ice on the ground in some areas.  It was bitterly cold yesterday with the wind blowing, so what better thing to do than to work on taxes!!  😀😅

*************

Thank you January for teaching me to be still.  To slow down enough to see what I usually rush past. 

To listen instead of filling every quiet space.

To breath deeply and to rest. 

You reminded me that not every season is meant for doing! Some seasons are meant for becoming. 

For noticing the small blessings, and trusting in the pauses of the day.

I am now stepping in the next month softer, and more aware while still carrying the stillness with me.  

Shug...💙
