Day 11...busy work week!

Today's gratitudes - a bit brief because I have worked my tail off this week so far and it's catching up to me.  But I feel like I have a good positive attitude and outlook on things despite the craziness!

1. People willing to take old books that my daughter doesn't need any longer.  I am grateful that she is able to let go and take pleasure in the knowledge that many children in those schools will enjoy reading them.

2.  My flexible work schedule.

3. My son's responsive teachers - they have been so helpful with his course selection choices and what they feel is best for him for next year.  Yes, it's February and they are already starting to work on the fall schedule!

My Random Act - sent birthday wishes to a friend - not so random, but I remembered!

Meditation - just a few deep breaths before starting my day at work.

Relive a positive experience - Walking my dog gives me great pleasure every morning, but on days when the sky is a brilliant blue and it's early enough that we are the only ones outside, I just seep happiness!

Exercise....I walked the dog this am for about 20 minutes

Is it really just about that last 10 pounds?

I've been making excuses for that last ten pounds for almost 12 years now.  It's time to lose it, maybe we can do it together.  But I realize now it's not all about weight, it's about other things too, raising kids (tweens and teenagers in my case), being happy in general, passionate and secure in your marriage,  working, and on the horizon - approaching menopause and eventually empty nest. I am hoping to inspire others and maybe understand myself a little better in the process.  Join my journey....
