Good morning everyone. Deb/MN, how was your dinner? Hope you enjoyed your Monday. Karen, boys are home? Nancy, hope you get good news from your MRI. Looking forward to hearing about your meeting with the trainer.

Our mindset can sometimes limit us from reaching our full potential.



Holy cow, is *that* ever true! Sometimes I really wonder what sort of person I'd be today if I had more drive, courage, and confidence in my own talents. Nobody has ever stood in my way more than my own self, and when you think about it, that's pretty sad. A good mindset is vital, but it can be frustratingly elusive to obtain. Hmm, maybe it's a matter of "fake it till you make it," i.e., act as if you already have the right mindset until you finally develop it for real.

Good Morning,

Yes, that quote is so true. I've never had much confidence in myself or my abilities and always held back trying something new in fear of failing. Hard one to conquer!

The day started out gray and gloomy but the sun seems to be making an appearance and it's supposed to be quite warm today.

DH hasn't heard anything. It's easy for someone to say that I spoke to so and so and they're going to call you and it's another if there are actually jobs available. Personally I would love if he could get a job at the new fitness center that the hospital is putting together for an opening soon. It's right down the block from where I work and maybe there would be a discount or a membership for employees and family members!

I had a phone call from a blast from my past yesterday. The woman I used to tutor through the Literacy Volunteer Program called me. She had had surgery when we last spoke and was to get in contact with me when she felt better. She disappeared after that and I never heard from her again. She wanted to know if I'm still tutoring which after she disappeared they drop her from the program so it wouldn't be through the program. I have mixed emotions about doing it again. I think she had some learning disabilities that I'm not sure how I could help her without being a professional but DD said she might go with me and make her own evaluation from a professional viewpoint. I'm going to have to think about it. She broke so many appointments with me and I'm not sure how much motivation she actually had. I'll have to think about this one.

We enjoyed our first potato kugel (sp?) last night. My coworker is Jewish and as she was preparing for her Seder meal she sent a kugel home with me. It was so good-sort of like a giant potato pancake. We all enjoyed it.

Slept right through the alarm this morning. I can't figure out why I'm so tired. I was in bed before 10 last night and was falling asleep at my desk yesterday morning. I get a couple of day of consistency and then fall apart again.

DH is off today which is a bit weird. He has his computer class this evening so looks like I'll be on my own for dinner this evening and then a walk with my 4 legged walking partner.

Grace-I hope you're feeling better. I found out that I have diverticulosis which is the precursor for the itis part.

Well better get moving. I'm moving kind of slow and realized I haven't packed up my stuff for work as of yet.

Hope you all have a great day!

It's not quite 6am and I'm on Eric's laptop.

Same here, I didn't think I had one athletic bone in my body.

The trainers where Eric does his weight work just went to a motivational fitness event with Jillian Michaels as the speaker.
