Started day with a citrus salad. Fruit goal met.
Five Reasons To Make Healthy Choices Today
- Gotta look good in my new clothing!
- I will mentally feel good when I look good in a new outfit.
- There is a LOT of fruit in the fridge. Why not be budget conscious and eat it?
- Fall and winter can make me sad as no garden. Is best for the body and mind to keep busy.
- Be the change you seek, amirite?
Today actually has been productive. I have a list in my head (mostly) of tasks I hate doing. I try to get at least one of those onerous tasks done daily. Today I knocked out three. I have gotten a bit too spoiled. Being home all day I already have a schedule over which I have a great deal of control. Granted, there are a LOT of household tasks I do that I don’t like to do, but at least I have the blessing of completing so many tasks on my schedule and not trying to squeeze them in before or after an out-of-the-home job. Blessed be the momma’s who work outside the home. Been there, done that.
It’s a bit late for me, but the Thanksgiving menu is finally complete! We are celebrating with another family member this year. A small group of less than ten. Per Covid and being introverted in general. As they are hosting, and are a fantastic chef, they are handling the turkey and potatoes, asparagus, the charcuterie board and the beverages. I have everything else. Yeah, it’ll be a lot of work but my favorite kind of work! The kind I get to share and enjoy.

Grateful For:

-Having the funds to buy a few things I have been putting off, for years on some of the items.
-New sunglasses. Two pairs. Might be three or four tomorrow, ha! I do not buy expensive clothing, nor do I buy much clothing, I settle everyday into a few favorites. But accessories? Yeah, I like em.
Godspeed ya’ll.

Quick recap to orient the reader what is going on, the purpose of vlogging this process. The journaling is part of a 30 Day Challenge I started over a year ago. I consider that a component of the Future Self Journaling process. The gratefulness notes near the bottom of each self improvement post is also a specific and helpful part of Future Self Journaling.
