I bought myself some nice new house shoes, with memory foam, it's like walking on air. I am going to exercise, walk for one hour. I am going to a meeting to start going back to school so I can get a better paying job !!! What are you doing for yourself today?
good for you. I had a lovely egg sandwich this morning it was delicious. I am going to walk my dogs this afternoon and go out and get them their dog food.
I am also really looking for work and may even take a 2nd job for a while. I'm focused and clear on what I need to do.
I liked this simple little post! Reminding myself to do something for ME each day takes real conscious effort. Soooo today I.....
ate toast with peanut butter and honey and applesauce...tasty!
generated nine New Year's letters and mailed to people I truly care for since I had sent no holiday cards this year
continued to read my second Sue Miller book in three days..I am overdosed on her already but love her style and themes of dysfunctional/loving families
slathered on my favorite Clinique "aromatic elixir" body lotion
already took a nap! Here's to taking care of ME in some small way each day!
I thought that you would never ask! I tend to stay in a deprivation mode. Nothing for me - too much, too expensive, do without. I am going to make a budget (lots of good sales out there) and make a list of things that I truly need for the house, my wardrobe, and my spirit.
Yeah, yesterday I made an appt for a massage- I am looking for someone and have been for months now and hope that she will work out. I see her next week. I looked at another apt the day before yesterday but it was BAAAD so my search continues...but I will keep looking because I deserve something better than I have.
I am thinking about taking a vacation at the end of Feb. I am not sure if I can afford it but would like to try...that would definitely lift my spirits! I need to take a break. I am a better person and worker when I take breaks. I am learning this, finally. I tend to get pretty nasty if I do not! HA!
But my biggest treat was buying myself a pair of boots that I have been wanting for months and months. I saw them in a store I visit often (surprize!!) there was only one pair (on line return they said), never worn, my size, etc. It was like an engraved invitation!!! I can hardly NOT wear them I love them so much...its funny! When something is SOOO right, It is just SO RIGHT! Hugs, J.
I did get up early like usual, ate a good breakfast took my vitamins. Worked
my 11 hour day. Exercised, played with my dog for couple hours until he fell
asleep on my lap. so comforting. I plan this year to make my myself and my happiness top priority. Of course as always I want to loose weight. I am going to start a list of positive things in my life. I am going to visit friends and family I haven't seen for a while before it's too late. Let my son become his own person let him take care of himself and make decisions whether I think they are right or wrong. Let my AH be with the 12 oz love of his life. My favorite quote is LIVE A GOOD LIFE IF NOT NOW WHEN?
