No nap today, although I felt like I could use one. I should be heading to bed very soon.

Got myself distracted in watching the prime day deals and never got around to doing anything that I should have. I’m beating myself up over this, but I know that isn’t going to help anything. Anyway, I didn’t complete today’s challenge.

For me it almost feels like “thank goodness the weekend is over and now you can structure your days”. Since my husband works during the week, I am able to do things on my own time and schedule. Plus being part owner of a dental lab, he does go into work on the weekends but only for a few hours each day. It feels like my schedule is messed up on…[Read more]

“What is the ONE thing you can do, such that by doing it, everything else becomes easier or unnecessary?”

This is a tough one. Maybe if I stop doing things all the time for other people and do more for myself a lot of my stress, anxiety and not feeling appreciated will lessen. I’m not saying stopping ENTIRELY, but pick and choose my battles so to…[Read more]

Actually, right now time isn’t an issue for me but is for my husband. Money on the other hand would be.

So, “what do I want to be/do when I grow up” if neither were an issue is a question I have asked myself since high school. I love dogs and young children (pre-school age because I love not knowing what they might say next–they keep things…[Read more]

Today’s journaling is done! All caught up now!!

Journaling completed today!

Ok, I didn’t complete as scheduled, but I have completed today!!

Completed today!!!

Thanks Nikki!!!

Knowing that physically walking my neighborhood isn’t possible without help (too many hills and my husband always gets home late from work and doesn’t have the energy to help me), I am opting to go out on my back deck and do lots of observing.

Ok, if you start driving now @nikki-massie (10 a.m.) I’m guessing from Baltimore to the Albany, NY area you should be here in time for dinner. 😃

Thanks for clarifying. I physically cannot do baths right now. Anyway, I am making this my “pass” day. I normally take relaxing showers and all products I use have heavenly scents (my shampoo and conditioner have rose oil in them and the body wash I am using right now is Aveeno apricot yogurt wash).

Thanks Nikki!!!

I have completed today’s challenge. I may add more as I think of them.
