Day 9

Today I'm going to offer a resource to you and I just want you to spend a few minutes checking it out. Several years ago when I was responsible for some of of the housekeeping around here, this website changed the way I managed things and was very helpful to me.

The reason that I like it so much is that it taught me the principle of baby steps. It is very much a system that creates small victories and builds on them.

So, for today, just check it out.... The site has grown and developed a lot over the years since I first used it and I tell myself that I'm going to get back to some of it. So... check out the Fly Lady for a few minutes today. If you choose to do some of her stuff I think it will help you, but at least get the gist of what she is attempting to do. Her one step at a time concept is crucial to any plan to make progress.

    I followed FlyLady years ago. We started up a local group, and I made my control journal, which I still have. It was a good system and it really did work; I just stopped working it! I liked seeing how much the website has changed, and I'm inspired to start implementing the baby steps again.

Day 10

If you started this when I started writing it, today is Christmas Eve, but if you started late, it's OK, this post can be Christmas specific or not. I want you to come up with three special holiday or birthday memories. It can be the expression on the face of someone in your past when they got a gift you gave that was special, or a funny thing that happened when you were a child. Or it can be a meltdown that didn't ruin Christmas but instead made it memorable. Whatever it is -- three holiday memories that bring a smile. It won't be as hard as you think.

Day 5

Today is the day to start a gratitude journal. Getting it started is your only job today. Whether or not you keep it up is up to you. So, either on your computer or in a notebook I want you to write the title on the first page. Gratitude journal. Now write the number 1. Write down one thing you are grateful for. If you can't narrow it down to one, keep writing. Then let me know how many you came up with in five minutes. I think you might be surprised.

Day 3

Today you have a very simple assignment. Think of one person who has made a difference in your life. It could be someone from 40 years ago or from yesterday. The only thing is you have to know how to contact them in writing electronically (Facebook, email, etc). Now, copy and paste this into an email or Facebook message and send it to them. If you have some energy, you can add some more stuff, but if not, just copy and paste this... Hi, ________ (You do have to type their name, but that is it) I was thinking about you today and just wanted you to know that I really appreciate the impact you have had on my life. When I thought about the great times we have had together, it made me smile and I just wanted you to know how much you mean to me. Your Name Here (ok, you have to type your name too) Easy, huh? Now if you want to increase the amount of joy this brings, you should send this to 2 or 3 or 5 or 10 people.... but if all you have energy and time to do is send one, that's
