Today’s Challenge: Drink more water.
During moments of stress or when you are just feeling annoyed by everyone, go get a bottle of water or a big glass of water–it’s possible you’re dehydrated. 🙂 Easy fix!
I wanted to thank everybody for their support and encouragement… meant the world to me. ❤
I’m doing great and so happy I had the surgery. I already feel better. 🙂
A few days after surgery, I felt great and over did it. They tell you to take it easy for 2 weeks for a reason. LOL. I learned my lesson. 🙂
I’m on my second week of recovery, and I’m now taking the doctor’s orders very seriously. I do not want problems–I want to heal right the first time.
I’m slowly getting back to my life and I’m excited. I have big plans!
Thanks again for all the support. ❤ ❤ ❤
Today’s Challenge: Take time for yourself.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I will be away for several days because I’m having minor surgery next week. I’ve decided to unplug and focus on reading, writing and relaxing while I prepare and recover. I’m excited.
If I’m too bored, I’ll probably check in with my favorite blogs and bloggers. Yay! 🙂
Have an amazing weekend… and next week. 🙂
Today’s Challenge: Talk less.
I’m guilty. Sometimes I talk too much and don’t listen enough. Sometimes I’m so caught up in my thoughts and everything I need to say, that I stop listening. Sometimes I’m so sure I have the answers to the problems and I’m quick to share my (in my mind) brilliance.
But, there are times when I’m quiet and I listen. I slow down and I hear what other people say to me. And it’s amazing to actually listen to the people we care about. To really listen. Something else happens, too. We start to listen to body language and the tone of the voice and the emotion… and suddenly we’re closer to people around us… we’re connecting.
Today’s Challenge: Page through one of your favorite books.
While doing some marketing research, I started looking at other author’s websites and Facebook pages. I normally only check out the hot, new authors to see what they are doing online, but out of curiosity, I looked up my old favorite, Richard Bach. I reread his bio and learned that he had released Illusions, part two. WHAT? Of course I had to download it right away. Then I went to my bookshelf and grabbed my taped-together copy of Illusions, Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah and started reading this book for the twentieth time. I wanted to read part one again before I started part two, Illusions, Adventures of a Reluctant Student.
I love how rereading a book, after many years, takes me back in time. 🙂
Today’s Challenge: Find time to go for a walk… even if it’s just around the block. 🙂
Have a SUPER weekend!
