I tried transitioning to a filling carb, oatmeal, to eat before bed and nothing. Still wanted saltines and milk around midnight. Although perhaps with more consistency and trying a few more weeks it’ll finally become a habit? If I can point to a single factor that sabotages my efforts to live healthier, late night unhealthy …

I had been chugging along being about to have a few days this past week where I was able to maintain my IF (Intermittent Fasting) schedule. When I am on plan, I shoot for an 18/6 schedule, pushing for 20/4 if my schedule allows. Thanksgiving, however, is around the corner and once I am a …
This update will be short. I have had two days of far less sleep than usual. This happens from time to time, for no reason I can identify. But I am TIRED. Grateful For: 1. The ability to NAP when I need to. I recognize daily what a blessing free time is. 2. I am …

I am enriched with my increased writing of late, correcting bad writing habits. I can’t eradicate all the errors, as some are purposeful for …
I am a lucky wife. I married someone who has a similar tolerance to clutter that I do. If I married a neat freak, I would be so very very screwed. Miserable, and whiny. I hate dusting and don’t do it near enough, and he notices dust less than I do. I would rather sit …

The website theme or addon I have is telling me it doesn’t enthusiastically endorse my word choses and writing style. I am scoring low on…something I am suppose to research. Eh. My journal is for me. If y’all enjoy it or take any benefit, bonus! I get a little hateful when I see websites with …
Just kidding. I just liked the title I came up with. Day 4 journaling was another good day, filled with many Gratefuls. I was tired, but am keeping this promise to myself, which, according to Dr. LePera, builds my trust in myself, as well as confidence. Side benefits, again, staying on the IF schedule. Twice …

Third day consecutive last night, journaling as required. These updates will never be long, as the journaling task itself is a delightful quick hit. I start each journal entry with the following statement: TV off, phone is charging. I have made strides in the past few years to cut down significantly on social media. If …
