The task at hand.....

hmmm....

I like when I can read something for work, at work, and it's like a lightbulb goes off.
I need to think about this....

“Thus, the task is not so much to see what no one yet has seen, but to think what nobody yet has thought about that which everybody sees.”


Arthur Schopenhauer

Sunday

Quiet day today, watching Forks over Knives. Trying to get myself back on the Vegan band wagon.

Picked 10.5 lbs of tomatoes today....

Friday Gratitude




Today is a better day. Not just because it is Friday, but because things are starting to fall in place for me.
Things are looking up, in several different areas of my life.
I think, after re-reading the Gratitude article I posted yesterday….
I see that it is important for me to not just use this blog to vent about the bad stuff. It’s been great to have this outlet.
But, I need to remember there are also, good things in every one of my days.
A bunch of little, good things do add up…..
And it’s important to mention those as well. It’s important for me to remind myself that life is good and not just focus on the bad stuff.
I’m hoping to balance out my venting and my gratitude.
I really think I need a strand of gratitude beads mentioned in the article yesterday.
Or maybe I need to take those worry beads I have (ok, only in my head) and turn it into gratitude beads.
Why do I play with all of those worry beads, over and over, when instead I could linger on gratitude beads?
We all have something to be grateful for.
My life isn’t perfect.
But it is good. It’s good enough.

I’m in a fitbit challenge with 2 other people.
Simple. Just a 2 week challenge, the most steps.
I’m in last place.
It dawned on me today.
I’m taller than both of them, have a longer stride.
I think I should be able to double my numbers.
They don’t agree. not sure why...
Ok, I need to learn how to take smaller steps….
I’ve tried to put my fitbit steps on here, I figure it would embarrass me into walking more.
Still trying to figure out how to do that…..
