Remember your first day of school? Your first day in a new place? That anxious excitement sits in your stomach waiting in explode in a totally not gross way. It’s an opportunity to start fresh and embrace change. You may have an actual first day or it could just be the middle of your week. You have the chance to dictate how it goes and infusing that same enthusiasm into every day if you choose.
Easier said than done but it can lead to some pretty special moments when we do.

- Starting over
- New routines
- Introvert time
- The sound of thunder in the distance
