I’m grateful that I’m not really sick.I’m grateful I got to spend time with my sister and niece today. I’m grateful that I got to share my faith with a group tonight. I’m grateful that my daughter nursed just before I left and fell asleep with her dad right away – and slept the whole …
When I stop and enumerate all the things I feel guilty about, I feel … well … kind of guilty! It’s quite ridiculous the long and often contradictory list of items that I let myself feel badly about on a regular basis. Tonight I did my best to let go of some of these. After …

Why haven’t I exercised more? Yes, I should have. But I’m not a complete lump. Reading more about factors associated with it removes some …
Not sure why, but I’m quite happy today. It’s great! Maybe it’s because it’s Thursday (TGIT!). Maybe because I’ve gone to bed early 3 nights in a row (bliss!!!) and not rushed in the mornings (also bliss!). Maybe I’m feeling kind of partially caught up at work. Maybe it’s also that I got to leave …
