Daily Dozen
- Beautiful rug, couch and king sized bed, our recent acquisitions
- The heating in the house is pretty good
- I get to work from home today
- Opportunities that are always available under my nose
- My kids are growing bigger, smarter, taller, and keep getting more interesting
- iPhone is useful in so many ways
- Arslan just woke up, got up to pee, then crawled into my lap
- Got some awesome watercolor paint
- Cold weather - when properly prepared, cold weather is such an important and nice part of the seasonal cycle. The hibernation, the long dark hours, the bracing cold are outward examples of how emotional states and cycles of life are normal and cyclical.
- Vacuum cleaners
- Food, glorious food
- Dietbetter.com has made my weight loss goal a reality. I wasn't going to lose my hard-earned money over my own laziness to do something good for myself. That's just all kinds of wrong! So with money on the line, I've been working out, eating smart, and have lost 18 lbs in the last 3 months. Yay!
Magic Moments
- There are some beautiful rock formations on the drive to Grand Junction and around Western Slope of Colorado. I took some photos.
- When I was tempted to drink beer, my husband drank it. I didn't have to be tempted anymore.
- Walmart gave us refund for the broken plastic boxes we ordered. They arrived broken. This gave me the opportunity to buy some nice gloves and hats. So nice and warm!
Lessons Learned
- It's harder to distract myself when I write down everything I want to do, before I do it. This eliminates an impulse to surf for information I don't need, and forces me to notice my habits.
- Always buy from Dick Blick or a small local art supplier stores, never from Hobby Lobby (75%-125% markup)
- Tying money consequences to my regualr
