10. Gladdy mc glad for a new year and clean slate of gladitudes on each GladiTuesday.
9. Glad to be learning discipline regarding exercise. Lord knows how I hate to sweat, or make any effort more than running to the refrigerator. Unfortunately, however, I find myself needing to be an example for "those people", and as I told Bev, yesterday...even though I won't ever be model-thin, I really want to be the fun grandma. IN.ABOUT.15-20.YEARS.
8. Gladdy Mcglad for my 6:00 a.m. coffee and b'fast with my friend, S. We have so little time to cultivate our friendship, so we make
7. Glad for new starts on spiritual growth here, and here.
6. Glad for new novels, both from the libarry and from Christmas giftation. I'm going to set a goal for 50 books this year (in addition to all 66 of the Bible-guffaw). My husband read 66, and logged all of them, and liked this process so much, he's doing it again. Now, I'm no Gretchen's Husband, and I don't have trips to China for copious readage. But I DO lurve to read, and perhaps with a goal in mind, I won't watch as many reruns as usual. I mean, a girl's GOTTA have her TV, but trust me--even a TV junkie like me has "dead spots" in her channel surfing day. If I get my act together, I'll be keeping track of my books in my side bar and might even do a book blog (akin to my friends' recipe blogs). Stay tuned.
5. Speaking of TV... which we kind of were...I am glad for my iPhone headphones, which plug into the elliptical or treadmill at my health club. Watching QVC (I know...Big is embarrassed for me)makes the time go by much quicker. Lucky for Big, I can't make purchases while walking or climbing. I'm too clumsy. I fear a head injury if I tried.
4. Glad we made it through my daughter's first post-Christmas break day of school. Monday's goal: getting through. Today, we'll work on getting through with a sparkly attitude. The boy goes back today, too. Smile when you write that...
3. I'm glad for times when I remember to be as gentle to myself as i can be to my friends. Case in point, I really "should" have made dinner Monday night. Should've pulled a magically tasty repast from the pantry. BUT...I didn't. I knew I would run out of energy, and based on that, I gave us a pass and we had Taco Bell. My husband would do things like that in a heartbeat sans the guilt. I need to learn from him.
2. Glad for goodnight kisses, and for reading whilst soaking in a warm bath, as soon as I put this on autopost.
1. Glad that in 10.5 short months, I'll be able to put up Christmas decorations again.
What maketh your gladitudes today?
