Today...

So, my blog isn't very visual. I will have to work on that.

Today I am trying not to beat myself up too much for not working out. I am so tired, which I know would be helped with regular exercise but it's so hard to find motivation when you feel exhausted. But that being said I have set a goal for 3x this week and I intend to keep the goal. Working up to at least walking everyday. I am also involved in a battle with sugar. I want to cut out the refined stuff as much as I can as far as everyday use. This is hard as well but I think that these 2 things together will help me feel much better on a daily basis.

Today I thought I would remind myself what I love instead of everything that wears on me:

I love to hear my daughter laugh.
I love when I know I helped someone who called me for help, truly helped them.
I love dreaming about my scrap space we are working on in the basement.
I love Christmas and all the things the season brings with it.
My favorite days are the ones where Graecyn and I do our own thing together.
I love pens, markers, crayons...
My car makes me happy.
I love that I have someone to watch Graecyn when I need that I trust and like as a person.
I love the process of making my Christmas cards, even when I have trouble developing the design.
I love green bean casserole.
I love shopping the day after thanksgiving, even if I have to go by myself most of the time.
I love jeans and wish I could wear them to work. It would make my life so much easier.
I love plain Chapstick in the blue tube.
I love my iPhone 4


These are by no means all of the things I love but they are a random sampling of them and a reminder to myself that even when life seems to be against us there are plenty of everyday things that can bring a touch of happiness.
