Some days, I'm just proud of myself. Not because I've done anything particularly special, but because I went a whole day without wallowing-- and, friends, I'm a wallower. It's the small victories.
Today, I gave myself a manicure and watched this week's episode of The Biggest Loser. *this isn't necessarily deserving of a pat on the back, but it was a good start to my day either way*
Today, I ate very healthy. *pat*
Today, I made myself go to the gym, and it felt awesome. *pat*
Today, I got seven chapters into my latest read: Forrest Gump (oh yeah, it's a book, and a good one so far). *pat*
Tonight, I went to dinner with a friend and had a much-needed catch-up... and split a much-needed slice of cheesecake (since we split it, I don't feel like it totally wiped my healthy-eating day). *pat*
Tonight, I went to Target-- which is like my least favorite thing in the entire world. Mass markets. Ugh. *pat*
And now... hopefully... I'll end my day with another productive, non-wallowing activity of the homework persuasion. My laptop is out and on my lap where it belongs, so that's a step in the right direction.
And tomorrow, some friends are coming into town, and I'm thinking it's going to be a solid weekend... and hopefully, the sun will be out and warm.
I'm in an oddly good mood right now-- which, considering I just suffered through a truly awful "musical" episode of Grey's Anatomy, is kind of a miracle.
"When does a woman become an adult?... We grow up when we see our life and our role from God's perspective; when we thank God for the role He assigned us and begin to see our cup as a gift instead of a cross; when each morning we ask, 'God, how can I glorify you today in my given role?'"
