Things are not quite so simple always as black and white. - Doris Lessing

Why do we always think that every is simple or should be simple.  There are so many things that are simply complicated, confusing and hard.  I mean I often think back to the way I was brought up, so many things that I was taught were wrong I now accept as just part of life.  I find that most of the time I live a grey zone...

Yesterday was a cold day.  I spent way too much time behind the wheel driving on ice.  At lest there was no wind to make it really bad.  My new reps are pretty well trained.   Well go back out with them in the new year and touch base.

This morning I am thankful for:

  1. Christmas music - I love to listen to it all the time
  2. Melissa went to school yesterday
  3. That my furnace works

October 1 2022, New Month

 Time: 7:20AM Weather: 4C Sunrise @ 7:36AM Sunset @ 7:12PM Today is not only the start of a new 5% Challenge, it is the start of a new month.  I love the feel of a new start.  It's like we are given a whole new clean sheet of paper to fill with anything.  What was written or drawn on the last paper doesn't matter.  Of course when I return to real life I know that yes some things that I did in the past do matter and do affect me today.  But today is another chance to change things. Last night while watching the Oilers/Flames pre-season game I was starting to think about my goals for this month.  I have gotten very good at tracking things this last month, not so much at blogging/journaling.  Why I stop journaling I don't really know.  It helps me so much and I do so much better working on my goals when I journal.   I have decided to give myself a 30 day challenge.  here are the things I am challenging myself to do this month. Step Goal for the month -  279,000 steps
