Today - this afternoon as it is now - I need try to invoke these ones into practice:-
B, D, J, K, L, M, P, S, T, V, W, X and Z
/no excuses or reasons. I can put in some token efforts and things will continue to change.
I don't need to do everything - I just need to do something.
Just begin. Living this day, today Take a reality check; Remember to breathe; Do what I am able to do. Look for the good in all.
I was out for 4 hours. Met some people. ate and talked. groceries and petrol. 1/2 tank was $36. It was a little cheaper today. groceries are away. I took a rest.

they won't all happen but I can take a swipe at some.
Best be off with me. I'll ci later.

Up and about here and just finished breakfast....
-meds/vitamins
-clear kitchen counters
-clear kitchen table
-start lol/delicates to hang
-plan the day (why oh why do I not do this in the evening?)
I have a funeral and interment to go to today, also the meal of consolation at the temple unless I decide it's too much socializing for one day. Then have a 5:30 meeting at the temple also. The rabbi cancelled out of our meeting this morning because he's been away the last week, and also because of the funeral today.
Having a last cup of coffee too.

The coffee is on now! (_)P On board with the "I don't like green tea" posters. I made a wonderful chicken soup yesterday with canned chicken.
Had the broth for lunch lower in carbs and soup for dinner was great on such a cold winter's day.
H. was better with the grand kids yesterday my unspoken req. from last mo. that got answered. Yea!
Harriet that is what I said to H. about the timing of the opening up the pen thing. I had turned on the dryer thinking they would like to warm up under it plus I needed to do laundry, the chickens mostly ignored the dryer vent guess feathers did not need fluffed! LOL! One of the older Barred rocks that was in molt last fall laid yesterday I caught her in the nest box I was SO happy! Yea! Made up the first boiled eggs to use this week.
I forgot all about granny duty yesterday so dgson helped with chicken chores later in the day and got the 2 eggs we found. Today they will both be here.

another day - another opportunity for a great day! (thinking productive maybe )
Good morning to each of you!
Focus today for me: paper work, library make the necessary copies so I don't use up my ink in the printer.
I had a little blessing this morning...The little brat in me said "STARBUCKS", i folded and went into the drive through... they gave me a Free cup of coffee to say Happy New Years! no money spent! how nice of them.
I'm very inspired by Lynlee today! I also have a curtain or two that needs to be hemmed. Maybe I will "just do it" today!
Emptynester, I like the sound of your granite. Will be looking for new kitchen countertops here this year. Have been thinking of something with some green in it.
Glad my spaghetti sauce last night was more like chili. Going to bake 2 potatoes and have the sauce over them and supper is done!
