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!!

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
