TGIF

I am so thankful that it is Friday. Tomorrow will include sleeping in and taking my children to Powells. Sunday I will watch them race their dirtbikes. It will be a fabulous weekend.

This week has been a bit draining. I've done a lot of soul-searching and began executing change in my life. It seems like when that's the goal, to change any aspect of the status quo, then heels get dug in to impede progress. Sometimes your own. Sometimes others. This usually makes the process exhausting.

This week has had it's rewards, though. I completed journals. I opened an etsy shop. I volunteered last night at ESL class. And, I worked very hard every day at work. For the most part, I did not get bogged down by economic doom and gloom. I meditated. I *thought* about doing yoga, does that count? I ate healthy food. I practiced random acts of kindness.

My friend, Connie, at dirty footprints wrote recently about being the change. She works in a negative work environment and she started changing herself... in order to cope with it. I have stopped absorbing all the negativity around me. I do NOT participate in convos about the failing economy or the election. I simply remove myself from the area, either literally or figuratively. What a difference it makes!

I am on day 13 of my 1oo days... and it's just going to get better and better! There will be rocky roads... but I can handle them!
