Hi Astreil,
I read your comment over at Simple Mom and it really touched me. I was touched by your positive attitude. I hope your family has a lovely summer and I hope that your husband finds a great job.

I was also touched by your posts here. I couldn’t agree with you more. I was horrified to see the celebrations around Bin Ladens death.

Have a great week.

That’s true, Marnie. It’s hard to get moving when you are immersed in the mud, but it really does help.

I love your advice to “move yourself”. It’s so true! If I step outside even for a minute, when I come back in to work I feel totally revitalized!

YES, Love the mini goals!!! And I can’t tell you how much I enjoy crossing things out.

The real FACTOR of getting something done… In terms of hitting a goal is creating a system for it. That system includes checking on it, that accountability.

If you do not create a system to reach the goal, you are just wishfully thinking.

Great work! Surfs up,

I am a runner too and I’m aching to get outside. So glad the nice weather is upon us.
