Tweaking NOT twerking!

 
As I sit here (on the couch, in the living room, facing the wall of windows, looking east) I am watching yet ANOTHER gorgeous ‘Lion King’ sunrise!


Why do I mention this?  Well, for one, it’s SPECTACULAR and I wish you could see it.  More importantly though for some reason, I am taking particular note of what the sun coming up each and every day SYMBOLYZES for me.

A fresh new start.

Yep, a chance to begin again, right a wrong, try a different way and TWEAK!

Okay, what’s ‘tweak’……………..This is a VERY well used word around my house.  Tweaking is another (funner) way of saying adjusting.   So, for example, when something (a schedule, a sleeping arrangement, the flow in the pantry, driving/picking up from school, etc) is not going well (kids are cranky, parents are tired, it just doesn’t ‘feel right’), the first thing I do is see how the situation can be tweaked. 

So for instance, recently, Jesse and I decided to move Bette out of our bedroom (we converted the walk in closet into her bedroom when we moved in a year ago) because our bedroom had become like Grand Central Station (too much noise, activity, fussiness, etc).  and – post tweak – it’s more like a sanctuary. 

So I encourage you to TWEAK AWAY, my friends!
