21 Day Challenge ~Day 10

February 16, 2012 was day 10, that's right I've made it into double digits. WOOHOO! Anyone out there doing the challenge with me???? Let's hear how you're doing!?!?!?

Gratitude~
1. Grateful that my BFF, Shelli took me to lunch. She paid, cuz she's a brat like that.
2. Grateful the Fed Ex man came, but I wasn't home to accept delivery, so I have to wait until today to find out what the heck he's bringing me!!! I hope it's my camera lens!!!
3. Grateful that I saw a friend at the gym
4. Also grateful about how much faster the biking goes if you have someone to talk to. Can't talk and walk though...
5. Grateful I managed to keep my attitude some what in check for most of the day.
6. Grateful that my daughter thinks my Script School writing lessons have gone well, and she would like me to make her a shirt with words on it. I told her I'm not sure I can handle it, yet. She thinks otherwise!
Journal positive event~
While I was chatting with friend at gym, he told me it always made him feel better when he talked to me! I asked why, cuz it confirms in your mind that their really are crazies out there?!?!?!

Exercise~
SURE DID!!!! I walked a mile and then I biked 6 miles. WOOHOO!! Oh and about 2 weeks ago we added that Greek Yogurt, to our meal line up instead of regular yogurt.  So one more all natural, healthy thing in the diet.  It took some getting used to, but now I kinda like it.  I don't LOVE it yet, it's kinda thick for me. But it's better for me, so I will acquire a taste for it.

Meditation~
not really but I researched it, found out how to meditate properly, and found out that their is nothing wrong with me cuz it makes me sleepy!! Good to know.  A lot of people get sleepy.  Personally, for me, I really think it means that I've already learned how to clear my mind, and relax.  I'm not big on stress. Worry never changes a thing, only action.  If I can't change the situation or control it, why sit and worry about it.  The universe will take care of it, the way it was meant to be handled. I figure the Universe takes on WAY bigger things, every moment, of every day, than my trivial worries, so why shouldn't I trust that my issue will be easily resolved for the peeps with THAT kind of power!!!!  My job is to find the positive in the situation or learn the life lesson I am meant to learn and keep movin' on and getting better.  So in short, I meditate for about 10-15 minutes before I fall asleep every night.

Random act of kindness Thank someone in social support network~
no, this is turning out to be kind of hard.  I'm obviously bad at thanking people.  And my social support network is small, so I'm working on this one!!

Going to a Red Wings Hockey game tonight with some friends!!! That's pretty exciting stuff, so today's thankful list will be BIG!!!
Still working on getting those One Little Word pics. Ali Edwards did tell us to consider what we are trying to invite into our lives with this word, and maybe take pics of that.  That would make it easier I guess.  I have one or two ideas now, but I need NINE good ones!
Dog sitting Saturday for my in-laws, well actually Tallon is supposed to be but he is going to Grand Rapids with Ryan to the recording studio to work on new CD... so I get dog.

  1. I'm all caught up on your life now, Denise. I love to read your ramblings; they always make me smile. Did Ryan wonder what the heck took you so long at Walgreens the other day? We stood out there so long that it took me the rest of the day to thaw out! It was great to see my former "bleacher buddy" again and get caught up!
