Okay ladies, we're hitting the home stretch before Christmas, so I thought we could all use a little Positive Thinking theme today!!


1) In what way is today better than yesterday?

1) In what way is today better than yesterday?


It's Friday! I have so much more done today and ready for today so I can focus on things I want to instead of things I have to.


2) In what way is this year better than last year?


My DH no longer works nights. I don't smoke.


3) In what way are you better than you were six months ago?


I've made myself a priority again. I generally can't put myself first, but at least now I make this list!


4) Besides technology (because that’s so easy), what’s better about the world today than the world you grew up in?


I don't know that it is much different... Um cotton is in and lesure suits are gone?


5) In what way will you make (or have you made) someone else’s day better, today?


Checking in with a friend with health problems later. Will be giving her a sympathetic ear. Her SO tends to be a problem solver and misses that sometimes she just wants to vent - or cry.

I'm now on holidays :-)


2) In what way is this year better than last year?


I feel more secure in WHO I am, and what I WANT!


3) In what way are you better than you were six months ago?


I'm down about 12lbs :-)


4) Besides technology (because that’s so easy), what’s better about the world today than the world you grew up in?


Like JJ I'll go the clothes!! (And to think I looked so good in those red fuzzy

1) In what way is today better than yesterday? I'm going to have a few drinks tonight. ;o)


2) In what way is this year better than last year? I've learned a lot about myself, my relationships, my health/fitness and my finances.


3) In what way are you better than you were six months ago? I think I'm able to let things go a lot easier and move on. Being a lot more independent emotionally if you know what I mean.


4) Besides technology (because that’s so easy), what’s better about the world today than the world you grew up in? I think my girls are much more able to challenge those female stero types. Do what they want to do be what they want to be.


5) In what way will you make (or have you made) someone else’s day better, today? I'm taking little x-mas gifts to my bowling team tonight.

What I'm Reading!

Come on over and join us!

1) In what way is today better than yesterday?

~I am starting to get more energy back from being sick, my shopping is finished, and I only have one more party and field trip to go until the kids are off for break. Yesterday was my dd's dance recital and party at her dance studio.

2) In what way is this year better than last year?

~I am 20 pounds lighter than I was last year, our kids have gotten old enough to be able to stay out all day, like at the zoo, without tantruming and needing a nap like they do when they are babies. So life has gotten a little more fun with the trips we can take and restaurants we can eat in now.

3) In what way are you better than you were six months ago?

~I bought yoga tapes a long time ago and never really did much with them. When I actually started doing them I was amazed how good I felt. I also evaluated my life goals and now have a plan in place for when my ds starts school (continuing eduation) and an area of interest for a future job. It's just nice to know I have a goal and a direction. I speak spanish but not to a business spanish level so for Christmas my dh bought me the rosetta stone advanced spanish dvd set. Supposedly this is what the national government uses to train their workers to speak foriegn languages. So I will start that program after the holidays with a goal in mind to eventually work in public health. I plan on waiting until both my kids are in school full time though. Just having figured out a direction and starting to work towards that goal makes me happy.

4) Besides technology (because that’s so easy), what’s better about the world today than the world you grew up in?

~In general I think there is more of an awareness of wholistic health. Employers see the benefit of installing gyms in the work place, sports for kids are seen as a must instead of an extra, and mental or emotional problems are taken seriously instead of assuming someone is nuts if they can't deal with stress. The tools to deal with life are out there. It's become the responsible thing to do to take care of our minds and bodies.

5) In what way will you make (or have you made) someone else’s day better, today?

~The first day of my dh's vacation is tomorrow and he has been sleeping upstairs all day. I haven't harrassed him yet ;) We are all tired from the stuff we have been doing and the house really needs to be cleaned but we all need a break at this point. So he has left me alone, I have left him alone, and the kids have been eating goldfish and jello all day in their PJ's. I think everyone is thrilled to let down their hair and not have mom all over them!
