Where did Day Nine go?

April 5, 2009 in Uncategorized

See? This is what happens when you're not paying attention. The day slips by. Day Nine is gone. Filled with good, fantastic things, but gone. And without a walk (my challenge to myself).

I'm going to practice not beating up on myself today. I'm going to practice standing back up and walking. Here's to Day Nine. It was a fine day, a day in which I made decisions that felt like they were made for me. But I made them. I slept an extra hour. I chose to.

How was your Day Nine? And Day Ten? Day Ten is a nice, round number. Here's to Day Ten!

Well good for you for owning up and outing yourself. ;o) And, for putting away the hammer. That’s a little harder to do.

Day Nine had some complications for me in the form of my Mother visiting, however, I planned ahead and managed to get everything accomplished. Yay.

Tomorrow may be a bit more challenging…

i’m really glad to hear about the extra sleep- you need it!
i think it’s necessary to take a day off now and then. my challenge is going pretty well here. but i actually started before you made it a challenge. i decided on my birthday that i will do some yoga every day. and i’ve kept it up most days! but on the days i miss, i don’t beat myself up.
i’m just doing the best i can!
