Good news: I didn't need my light therapy box today. The clouds have finally moved on. The snow and ice are everywhere, creating a hugely bright environment. It felt warmer than it was, just because I needed my sunglasses while I was driving. This is good because I'm not using my light therapy box as I should be and needed some daylight. I'm pretty sure I need to go back to my old style box but I'm now watching prices to try to find something in budget.
I've spent most of my day wearing my brand new fancy bracelet (bought on the very cheap) that doesn't go with my fleece and jeans. But I don't care because it's new and I like it.
The rest of the day was OK. Again, not great. Too many cookies, too much snacking. I did substitute carrots in this afternoon, but it only half counts because I dipped them in ranch dip to make them tasty. Really enjoyed a simple dinner, though. One that was pretty healthy and reasonable in portions. Except that I ate too much of the banana apple salad. It was tasty. Too tasty, and I lost my head.
My brain has been working overtime today trying to think through a host of problems. I'm not sure where I'm going right now in several ways. It leaves me feeling frustrated and a little confused. I do better with a clear plan. So I made a plan specific to this evening, but I'm not going forward with it. Since making the plan and arriving at execution time, I've started feeling ill (again!). I've caught the head cold the boys are fighting. Wish us luck. Survival might be in question. How long can one family stay sick, anyway? Wait - please don't tell me.
I need a reason to pick up my book "Thin Within" again. I'm taking suggestions.
I'd write more (maybe) but I got a new book yesterday and it's a long one. Many pages still to go, and the hour is late.
But first: a positive list.
I am .... a great appreciator of a talented musician.
I am .... thoughtful.
I am .... teaching my children to love to learn.
I am .... here. Being present.
I am .... making our world go 'round.
