Yay! (I'm being a yay-sayer...still.)
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how often I rely on lessons from AA.
With all you have on this list, I hope you're also able to take some time out to really enjoy yourself. (I don't know about you, but I often have to remind myself that moments of pleasure need to be worked into my daily life.)
Serenity now! Or maybe not, because No soup for you! Sorry. I loved Seinfeld. Silliness aside, best of luck with your list.
ReplyDeleteThis is a timely list for me. I always find solace (or maybe that's the wrong term) that I'm not alone in the stress/hustle and bustle/freaking out/begging for sanity that comes with day to day life. I'm going to try to apply your list to today. And I'm going to breathe. Breathing is good.
ReplyDeleteV-- Thanks for the YAY! I never schedule fun for myself. I feel like if I am not doing work then I am procrastinating.
ReplyDeleteB--I was never a Seinfeld watcher. But, once I say that I don't like it people immediately tell me all their favorte parts. So, I feel like I have watched it even though really I've only seen a handful of episodes.
J-- Ah yes! Breathing. Thank you!
