Happy New Year!
Still up from last night or up early???
Weight 122, calories somewhere between 1700-2000. Who cares? I do the rest of the week, but didn't last night. We had a good time with our friends and DH enjoyed it. I was a little worried as he was in a nasty mood yesterday afternoon. Happy to accept me setting up the shower, cooking and driving, but angry that I checked on him after the shower and didn't want me to go into the doctors office. I did of course because he can't understand what they say to him. But a good end to the day...
Hopefully I don't pay today. We are driving two hours to meet youngest DD for brunch, then visit with a friend of DH, followed by a visit with DH's uncle. It will be a long day...
BUT I got most of yesterday's list accomplished and only had to roll over a couple of minor items (and added a future one in). Check!
Happy 2019 my friends!!!!!!

Ann, safe travels to NOLA. Peps, welcome to the list club ! I actually take phone shots of my lists, so I can't lose them, and swear by my Cozi app. Enjoying your trailer modifications ! Cecily, being that you can't take laundry baskets on the cruise, you must be thinking about packing ! Liz, you are packing/shipping too ! Diamond D, we are glad you processed your wrong way driver experience with us. That is the kind of things you'll be working out in your head for a while. Shel, I think you are on to something with strategic distribution of heavy burdens.. and the weights too ! (You got me thinking). Diane S., glad your neighborhood is back to normal, and hope you get answers regarding DH's surgery soon. BB, wonderful DSS suit shopping experience ! Lesa, keep putting more and more distance between you and that black cloud ! Good for you ! Bonnie 150, I, too, recognize and appreciate the way you put a positive spin on everything.
Thank ALL of you for your recent posts. On my initial read, I enjoy the ideas, information and honesty. Next, I go through a percolation process, when I re-read and contemplate the patterns, universal themes, wonderings, and direct applications to my life. Here is where the last several days have left me.
Goal, intention, manifestation ... all a great improvements over doing the same thing and expecting different results. Celebrate, activate and honor intentions by doing personal best in any given moment/decision point. Our personal best is a snapshot, and looks different as we learn and build stamina and capacity. Less isn't necessarily more, our best is more. We all have Pollyanna filters, for everyone but ourselves. Reduce comparisons with used to, how I want it to be, what that life over there looks like. Notice I don't say eliminate, because that all or nothing thinking defeats me before I start. Consider strategic redistribution of heavy burdens. Start with listing daily gratitudes to better enjoy living in the present. Armed Forces icon and top endurance athlete David Goggins just published Can't Hurt Me: Master Your Mind and Defy the Odds. His research indicates most of us tap into 40% of our capability and that we can rewire our minds to push past roadblocks.
