Time to Weigh In

Every morning I get out of bed and saunter over to the nasty weigh machine thingy. Oh yeah, a scale. It grades my eating behavior for the day before. It's not a fun task but it keeps me honest. And away from the Halloween candy.

I'm doing something similar with my free time now. I look back on the week and say, "Okay, what strides did I take to rebuild my life?" It's a weigh in, of sorts. This week alone I attended my weekly writing group on Zoom, walked every day, participated in a watch group for The Golden Bachelor, tried a new craft with leaves I collected while walking, and hand stitched two burlap curtains.

Wow, writing that list makes me feel good. That's a lot of self love for me. Interaction with new friends, creativity, and mind clearing exercise. All good. That's a great week.

Dr. Randy Carlson is so right about his mantra "Intentional Living". It really helps me to live life on purpose. Make goals and meet them. I'll get out of the lines too. That's where some of the good stuff happens. That's the right brain fighting for its due.

I can't wait to attack this week because I have more to add. The flow of creativity is really getting me juiced up and ready to find new outlets for writing. In our group the other night, I suggested writing encouraging letters to the IDP soldiers. Come to find out, our leader just so happened to have a link where we could do that. I'll write one of those today.

Who knows what else I will find to get into, but I'm excited at the possibilities. It brings me great joy to discover new avenues of creativity. Maybe I'll develop my own money making opportunity with a writing craft. I can't wait to find out where my curiosity will take me.
