When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love. - Marcus Aurelius

It is amazing to know that I have another day to get things right.  I think we often get caught up in the thoughts of the future but we never know that we have a future.  This last year has shown me that today, this minute is all we are guaranteed.  Life can change on a dime, sometimes for good and sometimes for the worst.  I plan to enjoy every morning that I wake up to my life.

This morning I am thankful for

  1. My furnace that keeps the house warm
  2. That the daylight is starting to get longer again, I miss the long days of summer
  3. For time with my friends

Question of the day

Where do I want to be in 5 years?  In 5 years I want to be at my goal weight!!!! (I'm hoping that I hit that weight in one and half years from now).  I want o be working full time and happy with my career.  I want to have my daughter settled into her adult life, have her moved out of our home and into a group home.

Daily Diary

Today is my last day off until I leave for Mexico on the 14th. I work straight through until the evening of the 13th. So, I have decided that I will putter around the house today, take the puppy for another walk and the work on finishing the afghan that I am doing for a friend. It is almost completed. The bonus is that if I am working on the afghan while watching TV I can't eat!! (snack).

I did a real reset this year.  I reset my habit tracking app and have started fresh.  I want to see how I do this year.  I didn't make my step goal yesterday but I did get out for a walk with the puppy.  I'm taking that as a win.  I got 69oz of water in yesterday which is a win!!

 Time: 5:50Am Temp: -34C Sunrise @ 8:48AM Sunset @ 4:17PM Goals for today  8000 steps 30 zone minutes 81oz of good fluids 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: Christmas music - I love to listen to it all the time Melissa went to school yesterday That my furnace works

Conquor Yourself

 Time: 6:43AM Weather: -9C Sunrise @ 8:49AM Sunset @ 4:31PM  This is so true.  If I could learn to conquer my own fears and thoughts I could do anything.  My brain tells me all the time that I can't do something or that I will never be able to get it.  All this negative self-talk is so bad.  I have been working on talking better to myself.  Until the last little while I didn't even realize how often I am a downer on myself instead of a cheerleader.  I have discovered that i need to start treating myself like I treat my kids and friends.  I must learn to be kind to myself. This morning I am thankful for dinner out with the family last night a coffee date with my friend that the bills are all paid for the month Question of the day When am I the happiest version of me?  I think that I am the happiest version of me when I am surrounded by my family and we are having fun. Yesterday was a good day.  I didn't do any extra sna...
